/" Thousands upon thousands of our youth, by
evil example and the influence of the passions,
have been led into the habit of sef-pollution
without realizing the sin and fearful conse-
quences upon themselves and their posterity.
The constitutions of thousands who are raising
families have been enfeebled, if not broken
down, and they do not know the cause or the
cure. Any thing that can be done so to en-
tighten and influence the public mind as to
check, and ultimately to remove this wide
spread source of human wretchedness, would
confer the greatest blessing next to the religion
OF Jesus Christ, on the present and coming
generations. Intemperance, Cor the use Of in
toxicating drinks, though it has slain thousands
upon thousands, is not greater scourge to the
human race. Accept my thanks on Behalf of

graver qualities of a quarterly review, filling a
While attractive VARIETY for the general reader
Is thus obtained, there will be attempt to
substantial ExcELLEscE in each department
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 distn-
guished writers-such medium as they would
seek for in communicating with the world, and
such as may tempt some to write ably and profita-
bly, who have not hitherto contributed to periodi-
calls {
We intend that all articles admitted into the
work shall be literally paid for. $500 .sfQ
We believe that an ample material exists for
such work; that there is lack either of talent
among our writers or of appreciation the part OF
the reading public; and that a properly conducted
periodical of this kind may bring to light much
true genius az yet undeveloped. aaa v.sflec
"Putnams Monthly will be devoted to the in
terests OF Literature, Science and Art-n their best
and pleasantest aspects. t4g r5e hl,a
Entirely independent of all merely selfish in

management, it will be open to competent writers
for free discussion of such topics as deemed i'm
portant and of public interest.
The critical department will be wholly indepen.

personal influence or bias Observation-Disclosures
Of public abuses will be allowed fair field without
fear or favor. 500 I-al-I 80
