PROSPECTUS OF MEYERS UNIvER-

II sum-ln commencing the issue OF the second
volume of the Universum, the publisher makes
his grateful Acknowledgements for the kindness OF
the press, and the very liberal patronage which
the public have bestowed on the first He is
happy to say that the work has succeeded beyond
his expectation, and that he accordingly feels him
self justified in bringing it out in an improved
style. Ii will continue TO enjoy the supervision OF
the same editor, who will be able 10 devote TO il a
greater degree of care and every effort will be
made TO give interest and value TO each number
that appears. The views presented in this volume
will if possible, be more various than in the last,
and the descriptive articles more attentively
adapted to the wants and taste of the public.
Among other attractive plates which II will con-
tain, are several OF Central America, Australia
and China, countries just now among the most
interesting of the globe.
In order TO meet wish expressed in many
quarters, the Universum will henceforth be chiefly
devoted to views in foreign lands, while the

form the subject of separate work, conducted
by the same editor, to be called The United States
illustrated, which will soon make its appearance
in numbers in a style of beftting elegance, but at
price within the means OF all. For that work
as well as for the Universum, the publisher hopes
for continuance Of that public favor which he
trusts more than ever to deserve.
The Universum will be published as before, in
twelve semi-monthly numbers, so that the second
volume will be completed in December.
H:is- All subscribers to the work, whether they
have paid in advance or not will receive with the
last number, as Premium, Plate asplendd engrav-
ing representing an historical subject: The Maid OF
Saragossa, executed in a high style Of art.

v1ROSPECIUS II THE
i LITERARY MESSENGER for 1854. Twen-
Twentieth volume of the Southern Literary Mes
senger the proprietors beg to assure the public
that exertions will be remited 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 endeavored TO reflect faithfully the south
ern mind while dsdaining 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
it will still be devoted, and will be prompt TO re-
pei assaults upon the south, whether they come
under the specious garb of felton, as in Uncle
Toms Cabin" in the direct form of anti-slavery
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 it 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. ~'.
And while the proprietors do not appeal to the
public on the score of long list of contributors,
they may refer with pride to the following names,
