therefore, deem it proper tn call renewed attention to

PROSPECTUS OF A NEW SERIES OF
The Southern Quarterly Review.

COMMENCED ON THE lsr OF April, 1850, BY
WALKER g. RICHARDS, Propretors 6, Publishers.
| TERMS-$5.00 per annum, payable in ad-
vance.
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this countenance will not be Withdrawn, now that
the publication, passing from the hands of the
former publisher into their own, makes, as ii
were, fresh start in the pursuit of a well known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themselves to doubt,
ihat-with all their former contributors, with the
addition Of many new ones, not less valuable and
distng guished---lnder the conduct still of Mr.. W.
Gil MORE SiMMs, its 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 a 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 wn continue 10 receive that patronage which
thar own endeavor and the claims of such an Or
gan seem reasonably to demand.
The writer's 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 earnestness, force, and fidelity, the real pol
icy and the peculiar institutions Of our section.
We entreat the people Of the South, who feel
the importance Of such periodical as the Review,
to excuse its deficiencies, and generously lend
themselves to its assistance. With their couhte-
nance and concurrence, II can become the estab-
ished 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
the country may always distinguish themselves,
and find the proper provocation to execution and
performance-the wholesome authority to which
we may always turn for the correction and re-
straint Of crude and undgested speculation. These
are all objects of the last necessity to civilized
people, who have anything to gain by enterprise,
or any thing to lose by remissness and indffer-
ence. Once more, we ask from the patrons of the
Review, indulgence for the past, and such sym:
pathy and support for the future, due to the
vital interests which it faithfully serves, and the
character which it seeks to establish.
