PROSPECTUS OF A NEW SERIES OF
The Southern Quarterly Review.

COMMENCED ON THE lsT OF April, 1850, BY
WALLER & RlcHAnps, Proprirtors & Publishers.
TERMS--S500 per annum, payable in adj
vance. rs l
II The publishers Of the SOUTHERN QUARTERLY
REVIEW beg leave to entreat the attention of the
public to that Work, to return thanks for the in
variable indulgence which has smiled upon its
progress hitherto, and to express the hope that
this countenance wifnot be withdrawn, now that
the publication, passing from the hands of the
former publisher into their own, makes, as II
were, a fresh start in the pursuit of well known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themselves to doubt,
tha--with all their former contributors, with the
addition OF many new ones, not less valuable and
distinguish ed-under the conduct still of Mr.. w.
G1LMoRE SlMMs it's sole Editor during the past
year-and with the assurance which the subscri-
bers now beg leave to give, that the work will be
henceforward issued in style very superior to
that OF the past on better paper, with fine new
type, and with regard to neatness and finish,
which will leave it second to none in the country
they will continue to receive that patronage which
thar own endeavor and the claims of such an or
gan seem reasonably to demand.
The writers for the REVIEW include the greater
number of the best and ablest names of the
country. They represent the highest literary
talent of the South, and reflect truly; with a ma
tive eainestness, force, and fidelity, the real pol
icy and the peculiar institutions of our section.
IL we enuehl the peopie OF lhe Nooutns VINO leei
the importance of such periodical as the Review,
to excuse its Deficiencies, and generously lend
| themselves To it's assistance. With their counte-
| nance and concurrence, IT can become the estab-
\ lished organ of domestic opinion--the champion
of our rights and character abroad--the guide and
! counsel to intellectual progress and proper taste
at home---the arena in which the better minds OF
i the country may always distinguish themselves
\ and find the proper provocaton to execution and
bperformance-th wholesome authority to which
we may always turn for the correction and re
straint of crudeend undigested speculation. Thes'
are all objects Of the last necessity to civilizet
people, who have anything to gain by enterprise
or any thing tolose by renssness and indiifer
! ence. Once more, we ask from the patrons of tn
Review, indulgence for the past, and such sym
pathy and support for the future, are due to TIN
vital interests which Il faithfully serves, and tn
character which il seeks to establish. ~

D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
ITNDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty -four Portraits and Biographi
cal Sketches of American citizens who have become
illusrious the service of the country Every por
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men OF the Re
public. & l f 3t
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken In the accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encoiirag ement from distinguished men. Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommended ion. His daguerteotypes are in the
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living colntenance
The drawings and engravings OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans Of taste to be fully
equal and in some respects superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his inn
mediate supervision The typography will be exc
cuted as carefully and in superb style the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope il
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those only admitted whose talents
and public services have won for them an honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each of the great de-
partments of life will have its representatives. Art
and Literature universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be othy and enduring mon
ument to the great Of the Republic, whose
achievements and fame constitute the chief glory OF
the nation. We hope that every lover OF Art, and
friend of our gorons Union, will respond to APP
peal for encouragement and aid in commend bic
undertaking, that its publication may make an in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping the
ilhistrons men of the Union together consolidate
still more firmly, n7a
As no work Of this kind has appeared in America,
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place
beyond the reach of most of citizens, the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore,
