i LITERARY MESSENGERfo for 1854. Twen-
tieth volume. In issuing the prospectus Of the
Twentieth volume Of the Southern Literary Mes
seager, the proprietors beg TO assure the public
that no exeriions will be rernitted on their part to
maintain the high character Of the work, and TO
challenge the patronage of all who value sterling
literary merit. For nineteen years, the Messen-
ger has endeavorcd TO reflect faithfully the south
ern mind, while disdaining all narrow and sectional
views, and has been alone among the monthly
periodicals. Of America, in defence Of the peculiar
institutions in the southern States. To this Office
il will still be devoted and win be prompt 10 re-
rel assaults upon the SOUTH whether they come
under the specious garb of fiction, as in :" Uncle
Toms Cabin" or in the direct form of anti-savery
pamphlets. AT this critical juncture, while our
enemies are employing literature as their most po-
tent weapon Of attack, the southern people will
surely not withhold their encouragement from
work whose aim il shall be to strike blows in their
defence.
The Messenger will as heretofore, present its
readers with reviews, historical and biographical
sketches novels, tales, travels, essays, poems
critiques and papers on the army, navy, and other
national subjects
