THE THIRD ANNUAL VOLUME
OF THE H5

SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE,
Was commenced on Saturday, the 4th of May
1850, under its original name-instead of Richards
Weekty Gasehe-as more significant of its peculia
character it being the only weekly organ Of Litera
ture in the entire South! 1t is
Greatly Enlarged and Improved,
Containing weekly Thirty-two Columns O
matter. 1t is, moreover, in AN
Entirely Ns,o Dress n"-
I" from head to foot and upon beautiful wnrr
paper, so that, in mechanical excellence, it is no
surpassed by any paper whatever in the United
States! 1t continues under the same Editoria
direction as heretofore, and no pains or expense
will be spared to make it
"A Choice Family Newspaper,
"as cheap as the cheapest, and as good as tn.
best!' Utterly discarding the notion that {
Southern Journal cannot compete with the North
ern weeklies, in cheapness and interest,
The Southern, Literary Gazette
rivals the best of them in all the characteristics OF
a truly valuable Preside Journal. Its aim is the
diffusion of cultivated and refined taste Throughout;
the community-and it embraces in its amp.
folds ever species Of intelligence that can tend to
this result. f t
ueaa Original Contributions,
from many of the ablest writers in the South
chiefly occupy its columns, but not to the exclu-
sion Of choice miscellany, selected from the best
American and European sources.
The tone of the Gazette is independent ..
criticism and in the discussion of every legitimate
topic, but it is strictly
Neutral in Politics and Religion!
Its columns are occasionally embellished with
Southern Portraits and Landscapes, gl
engraved expressly for the work, and accompa-
med by biographical and typographical sketches

leading journals Of all parts of the world
