and supplying want which is widely and increas-

be filed in no other method than by the principle
of selection which it adopts The great reviews
and magazines of Great Britain and the Continent,
through which the leading minds of the age are
accustomed, almost exclusively, to express them
selves, are too numerous to be reprinted, as well
too costly TO be imported by the general reader,

articles, that has but temporary or local interest,
and which is worth 10 the American reader neither
the price nor time required to peruse it, To select
from the whole field OF journalism all that is really
valuable. both the graver dissertations and discus
sions of the reviews and the lighter and more
versatile contents OF the magazines, is the pur-
pose of the ECLECTIC. The best parts of all are
the local or feeble parts OF any. The main portion
Of the EcLEcTIc will continue TO be composed of
the great and eloquent articles of the reviews;
while everything valuable or brilliant in all other
periodical issues, particularly of Great Britain,
will be carefully presented. A richer and more
valuable aggregate will thus be furnished than the
contents of any single periodical could afford a
