II is intended 10 combine the lighter character.
graver qualities Of quarterly review, filling a
position hitherto unoccupied in our literature.
While attractive VARIETY for the general reader
is thus obtained, there will be attempt to
substantial sxosLLENCE in each department.
IS To accomplish this we intend that the work in
all its mechanical and business aspects shall be
such as will meet the views of our most distin-
guished writers-euch medium as they would
seek for in communicating with the world, and
such as may tempt some to write ably and profta-
bly, who have not hitherto contributed to periodi-
calls. e
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 is no lack either of talent
among writer's 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 pleasantest aspects.
Entirely independent of all merely selfish in-
terests, or partisan or sectional leanings, in its
management, it will be open to competent writers
for free discussion of such topics deemed i'm
portant and of public interest.
The critical department will be wholly 1ndepen-
dent of the publishers, and far possible, of all
personalinfluenceo or bias wholesome castigations
of public abuses will be allowed fair field without
fear or favor.
An elevated national tone and spirit, American
and independent, yet discriminating and just,
both to the literature and to the social condition
aud prospects of both hemspheres, will be cult
waited as leading principle of the work.
Special attention will be given to matters con
nected with social policy, municipal regulations,
mn hIIc hpq md he alpcn
mics of everyday life.
b While subject needs illustration, or pictorial
example, such illustrations will be occasionally
given; but il not expected that the success of the
work is to depend on what are termed tsenbeliish-
