PUTNAM's MONTHLY.

TINE SUBSCRIBERS. responding to the re-
i peated and urgently expressed wish OF emf
nent and judcious persons in various lions Of
the country. have decided to commence, on tho
fret Of January, 1853. AN ENTIRELY ORIGI-
NAL PERIODICAL, under the above title
+ is intended to combine the lighter character,
istics of popular agazine with the higher and
grayer qualities of quarterly review, filing
position hitherto unoecupied in our literature
While attractive VARIETY for the general reader
ia thus obtained there will be an attempt to secure
substantial EXCELLENCE in each department.
To accomplish this we intend that the work in
all tts mechanical and business aspects shall be
such as will meet the views Of our most distin-
guished writers-such medium as they would
ssek for in communicating with the world, and
such MS may tempt some to write ably and profta-
bly, who have not hitherto contributed to period-
calls 10! ssss.. ,.~t ~ 81 t9 q, 2+. g" .F.
We intend that all articles admitted into the
work shall be literally paid for.
We believe that an ample material exists for
such work; that there 10 no lack either of talent
among writer's or Of appreciation on the part of
the reading public; and that properly conducted
periodical of this kind may bring to light much
true genius as yet undeveloped.
..Putnam's Monthly" will be devoted to the in
terests Of Literature, Science and Arin their best
and plcasa test aspects. ,l. 81. IT,,
Entirely Independent OF all merely scfsh in
terests, or partisan or sectional leanings, in its
management. it will be open to, competent writers
for free discussion OF such topics as are deemed i'm
portant and Of public interest. a NJ alHFF%
The critical department will be wholly indepcn-
dent of the publishers and, far possible, of all
personal influence or bias Wholesome castigations
of public abuses will be allowed fair field without
fear or favor. ~ -. e.. ~ .tls..s.. .
An elevated national tone and spirit, American
and independent, yet discriminating and just,
both to the literature and TO the social condition
and prospects of both hemsphercs, will be cult
waited as leading principle of the work.
Special attention will be given to matters con-
nected with social policy, municipal regulations,
public health and safety, and the practical econo-
mics of every day life.
While a subject needs iIlusration, or pictorial
example, such illustrations will be occasionally
given; but it is not expected tha. the of the
work is to depend on what IRE termed "embelsh-
ments.'' W.. .- -.....,..H.. o. .. .t,s..
The following. among many others, have ex.
pressed their hearty approval of the PLAN and will
all give il their general cooperation, while nearly
