PROSPECTUS.
This work is conducted in the spirit of
Liitel's Museum Of Foreign Literature, (Which
was favorably received by the public for
twenty years. but as it is twice as large, and
appears so often, we not only give spirit and
freshness TO it by many things which were
excluded by months delay,but while thus
extending our scope and gathering greater
and more attractive variety, are able so to
increase the solid and substantial part OF our
literary historical, and political harvest, as
fully 10 satisfy the wants OF the American
reader.
The elaborate and stately Essays Of the
Edlnburg Quarterly, and other Reviews; and
BiackwOOd'S noble CRITICISMS on Poetry, his
keen political Commentaries, highly wrought
Tales, and vivid descriptions Of rural and
mountain scenery; and the contributions to
Literature, History, and Common Life, by
the sagacIous Spectator, the sparkling EG-
ominer. the Judcious AthenGnun, the busy
and industrious Literary Gaeeette, the sensI-
BILE and comprehensive Britannia, the sober
and respectable Christian Observer; these
are intermixed with the Military and Naval
"reminiscences the United Service. and with
the best articles of the Dublin University
Ne,o Monthly, Fr0ser'S, Tat'S, 4snSwOrtHs
Hoods, & Sporting Magazines, and OF Cham
berS' admirable Journal. We do not consid
er it beneath our dignity to borrow wit and
wisdom from Punch; and, when we think it
good enough. make use of the thunder Of The
Times We shall increase our variety by i'm
dortations from the continent OF Europe, and
from the new growth of the British colonies.
The steamship has brought Europe, Asia,
and Africa into our neighbOrhOOd and will
greatly multiply our connections, as Mer-
chants, Travellers, and Politicians, with all
parts of the world so that much more than
ever it now becomes every Intelligent Amer

changes of foreign countries. And this not
only because Of their nearer connection with
ourselves, but because the nations seem 10 be
Fastening, through rapid process OF change,
10 some new state of things, which the merely
political prophet cannot compute OF fOrsee.
Geographical Discoveries, the progress of
Colonization, (Which is extending over the
whole worldly and Voyages and Travels, will
be favorite matter for our selections; and, IN
fully acquaint our readers with the great de-
partment of Foreign affairs, without entirely
neglecting our own.
While we aspire to make the LiUiRg Age
desirable to all who wish to keep themselves
informed of the rapid progress of the naoUe-
naent-to Statesmen, Divines, Lawyers, and
Physicians-to men Of buslnhss and men of
leisure-it is still stronger object to make

Children We believe that we can thus do
some good in our day and generation and
hope TO make the work indispensable in ev-
cry wel-informed family We say indiSpen-
sable, because in this day of cheap literature
1t is not possible to guard against the influx
of what is bad taste and vicious in morals.
in any other way than by furnishing a suffi-
cient supply of healthy character The
mental and moral appetite must be gratified.
We hope that, by 'aoihnOl0ing The tCheat
from The chGf,' by providing abundantly for
the inauguration, and by large collection
of Biography, Voyages, Travels, History,
and more solid matter, we may produce
work which shall be popular, while at the
asme time it will aspire 10 raise the stand
ard of public taste.
