PUTNAM'S MONTHLY,


L and urgently expressed wish of eminent and ju-
dicious persons in various sections of the country
have decided to commence the first of January 1S53
an entirely original PERIODICAL under the above title
1t intended to combine the lighter characteristics
Of popular magazine with the higher and graver
quail les of quarterly review filling position hith
e!to unoceupied III our literature.
While attractive variety for the general reader is
thus obtained, there will be attempt to sub
staGia excellence in each department.
10 accomplish this we intend that the work in all
n mechanical and business aspects shall be such
vii meet the views of most distinguished writer's
such medium as they would seek for in communi-
eatlng with the world, and such may tempt some
70 write ably and Oftably who have not hitherto
contributed to periodicals.
We intend that all articles admitted into the work
shall be Gberally paid for.
We believe that an ample material exists for such
aWOrk; that there is lack either of talent among
oaF writer's of appreciation the art Of the read
as public; and that properly conducted periodical
this kind may bring to light much true genius
