PUTNAM'S MONTHLY.

V'HE SUBSCRlBEh,, responding to the repeated
L and urgently expressed wish of eminent and ju-
dclouS persons in various sections of the country
have decided to commence on the trStO january 1853
an entirely original Periodical, under the above title
1t intended to combine the lighter characteristics
d popular magazine with the higher and graver
qualities of quarterly review, filling position hith
tft) unOccupled III our literature.
While attractive variety for the general reader is
thus obtained, there will be attempt to sub
stantal excellence in each department.
10 accomplish this we intend that the work in all
It's mechanical and business aspects shall be such
VIII meet the views of our most distinguished WRITER'S
such a medium they would seek t0r in cOmmuni-
eating with the world, and such as may tempt some
!" write ably aud p'oftably who have not hitherto
"nrbuted to periodicals.
We intend that all articles admitted into the work
Snail be literally paid for.
We believe that an ample material exists for such
sWoTS; that there is lack either of talent among
a writer's or of appreciation Oh the art sf the read
w public; and that properly conducted periodical
this kind may bring to light much true genius as
!tt unieyelOped.
"Putuam's Monthly will be devoted to the interests
q Literature, Science, and Art-in their best and
l'aSantest aspects
Entirely independent of all merely self h interests

fSuch topics deemed important and of public
interest
The critical department will be wholly independent
Gs publishers and far possible, of all personal
h1uence or bias. Wholesome castigations of public
ABUSES will BE- allowed fair field without feac or favor
An elevated national tone aud spirit American and
lptndent yet discriminating and just, both to the
aure and to the social condition and prospects of
