THE THIRD ANNUAL VOLUME
THE

SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE,
Was commenced on Saturday, the 4th of May,
1850, under its original nameinstead of Richards
Weekiy Gazette-as more significant of its peculiar
character, it being the only weekly organ Of Litera-
hre in the entire South 1t is a#-.
Greatly Enlarged and Improved,
Containing weekly Thirty-two Columns OF
matter. 1t is, moreover, in an ~
Entirely Neiu Dress
:" from head to foot, - and upon beautiful wnrre
paper, so that, in mechanical excellence it is not
surpassed by any paper whatever in the United
States! 1t continues under the same Editorial
direction as heretofore, and no pains or expense
will be spared to make it -
nlr "A Choice Family Newspaper, @
"as cheap as the cheapest, and as good as the
best" Utterly discardng the notion that a
Southern journal cannot compete with the North.
ern weeklles, In cheapness and interest, @
TIE Southern Literary Gazette
rivals the best OF them in all the characteristics of
a truly valuable fireside Journal. Its aim is the
diffusion of cultivated and refined taste throughout;
the community-and it embraces in it's ample
folds ever species of intelligence that can tend to
this result. l@
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 'sGazette'' is independent rn
criticism and in the discussion of every legitimate
topic, but it is strictly
Neutral IN Politics and Religion
Its columns are occasionally embeshed with
Southern Portraits and Landscapes, a#
engraved expressly for the work, and accompa-
med by biographical and Typographical sketches
lis General Information
is copious, but carefully condensed from the
leading Journals of all parts of the world. .#

and attractions of the paper, it is still published at

progress hitherto, and to express the hope tina I

they will continue to receive that patronage which
their own endeavor and the claims of such an or

The writers for the REVIEW include the greate3
number of the best and ablest names of thu
country. They represent the highest hterar1
talent of the South, and reflect truly, with mad
tive earnestness, force, and fidelity the real pol
icy and the peculiar institutions of our section.
We entreat the people of the South, who fee 4
the importance of such periodical as the Review
to excuse its deficiencies, and generously LEND
themselves to its assistance. With their counte8
nance and concurrence, 1t can become the estab3
lished organ Of domestic opinion-the champio 4
of our rights and character abroad-the guide and
counsel to Intellectual progress and proper tast$
at home-the arena in which the better minds az
the country may always distinguish themselves3
and find the proper provocation to execution and
performance-the wholesome authority to whc "
we may always turn for the correction and res&
straint of crude and undigested speculation. Thes

Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
ery, and those which are being engraved for this
work are believed TO be superior to any that have
ever been taken In the accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr.. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation His daguerreotypes are in the
highest the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countenance. ~ @" p. Ae....
The drawings and engravings of D'hvignon 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 i'm
mediate supervision The typography will be exc
.cuted carefully and in superb style as the
cravings themselves. The entire work will be on

Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring mon

achievements and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of glorious Union, will respond to APP
