'ain claim agents Of Washington city, and exteu
sveiy distributed, to persons Believed to be interest

deemed proper to notice, as well because of its d

by those to whom it has been sent In one part &
this letter it is stated that the writer for the tim
being IS Government claim agent, and in anothe
place that ne is duly authorised agent voached fo

many applications touching such references n

PUTNAm,s MONTHLY.

THE SUBSCRIBERS, responding to the re
Il peated and urgently expressed wish Of emf
nent and ]udicious persons in various sections O.
the country. have decided to commence, on Ms
first of January, 1853, AN ENTIRELY ORIGI-
NAL PERIODICAL, under the above title.
Ii is intended to combine the lighter character.
| lstlcs OF popular magazine with the higher anc
| graver qualities of quarterly review filling s
position hitherto unoccupied in our literature.
While attractive VARIETY for the general readeI
is thus obtained there will be an attempt to secure
substantial EXCELLENCE in each department. b,
| 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
gulshed wrlters-such q medium as they woulo
seek Tor In communicating with the world, ano
such as may tempt some to write ably and profta
bly, who have not hitherto contributed to period.
Gals.
We intend that ali articles admitted into the
work shall be literally paid for.
We believe that an ample material exists for
such work; that there is lack either of talent
among our writers of appreciation the part OF
the reading public; and that a properly conducted
periodical OF this kind may bring TO light much
true genius as yet undeveoped.
"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 It's
management. it will be open to competent writers
for free discussion of such topics as are deemed i'm
portant and of public interest.
The critical department will be wholly indepen-
Dent OF the publishers and as far possible of all
personal influence or bias Wholesome cast tions
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
and prospects of both hemispheres, will be cult
waited as leading principle Of the work.
Special attention will be given to matters con-
nected with social policy, municipal regulations
pubic health and safety, and the practical econo
mics Of every day life
While a subject needs illustration, or pictorial
example, such illustrations will be occasionally
gven but it is not expected that the success of the
work is TO depend on what are termed "embellish-
ments.''
The following, among many others, have ex-
pressed their hearty approval of the plan, and will
all give it their general cooperation, while dearly
