Jeffersonian Republican. [volume] (Stroudsburg, Pa.) 1840-1853, 1852-09-16

1 literature and science which abound in Eu-
rope and in this country, this has appeared
10 me the most useful. 1t contains indeed
the exposition only Of the current literature
of the English language, but this, by its i'm
kmense extent and comprehension, includes a
p0rtra;ture of the human mind in the utmost
expansion of the present age.

PROSPECTUS.
:. This work is conducted in the spirit Of
! Ltters 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 'notonly give spirit and
4 freshness to.t by many things which were
excluded by a months delay but while thus
extending our scope and gathering greater
and more attractive variety, are able so to
J increase the solid and substantial part of our
literary, historical, and political harvest, as
fully TO satisfy the wants Of the American
reader.
4 The elaborate and stately Essays Of The
/ Ed,nburg Quarterly, and other Reviews; and
BtdckWO0d'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 En-
aminer, the Judicious Athen6nuLn, The busy
and industrious Literary Gaseette, the sensi-
BILE and comprehensive Britannia, the sober
and respectable Christian O6SerUer; these
are intermixed with the Military and Naval
"reminiscences ofthe United SerUice and with
the best articles of the Dublin University
Nelo Monthly, FraSer'S, Tat'S, AmsWorthS
Hoods, & Sporting Magazines, and of Cham
berS' admirable Journal. We do not consd-
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 Tie
Times We shallincrease 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 a frica 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 1t now becomes every Intelligent Amer
can to be Informed of the condition and
changes Of foreign countries. And this not
only because Of their neaIer connection with
ourselves, but because the nations seem 10 be
Fastening, through rapid process of change,
TO 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 world,) and Voyages and Travels, will
be favorite matter for our selections; and, IN
general, we shall Systematically and very
fully acquaint our readers with the great de-
partment of Foreign affairs, without entirely
neglecung our own.
While we aspire to make the Living Age
IesIable TO all who wish TO keep themselves
informed of tie rapid progress of tie more
ment-to Statesmen, DvineS, Lawyers, and
PhVsicians-to men of businhss and men of
leisure--it Is still stronger object to make
it attractive useful TO their Wives and
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 weIl-inlormed family We say indlSpen,
saGie, because nthIS 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 sufii-
cient supply Of healthy character The
mental and moral appetite must be gratifed.
We hope that, by 'lClAR0wing5 the schedt
from The chqB,'i by providing ahundantly for
the inauguration, and by large collection
OF Biography, Voyages, Travels, History,
and more solid matter, we may produce a
work which shall be popular, while al the
asme time it viii aspire TO raise the stand
ard Of public taste. -,.
