PROSPECTUS.
This work is conducted in the spirit Of Lit.
tells Museum of Foreign Literature. (which
was iavorahly received by tie public for twen.
yyenrs, lhut os il is twice as large,and appears
so oiten, we not only give spirit aud freshness
to il by ninny things which were excluded
by a months delay but while thus extending
our scope end gathering greater aud more
attractive variety, are able so to increase the
solid and substantial part of our literary his.

wrought Tales, and vivid descriptions of
rural nn'l mountain Scenery; and the con-

aud with the best articles of the Dublin Ua
irersity, .Ne!o Monthly, Frdser's 1ars, Aims
;cOrihs Hooi's aud Sporting Magazines, and
of Chambers admirable Journal. We do no,
consider il beneath our dignity to borrow wit
and wisdom from Punch and, when we
think it good enough, make Use of the thun.
der Of The Tunes. We shall increase our
variety hy impnrtalons irom the continent of
Europe, aud from the new growth of the
British colonies.
The Steamship has brought Europe, Asia,
and Airicn, into Our neighborhood and will
grenily multiply our connections, rs Aler-
charts, Travellers, aud Politicians, with all
parts OF the world; so that much more than
ever it now becomes every intelligent Amer
lean TO be informed of tho condition and
changes of foreign countries. And this no,
only hecHuse Of their nearer connection with
ourselves, hut because the nntons seem 10
he lastcnng, through u rapid process of
chnnge, 10 some new state ol things, which
the merely political prophet cannot compute
or foresce.
Geographical Discoveries, the progress of
Colonization, (Which il extending over the
whole world, anh Voyages and Travels, will
be iavurite matter for our selections; and. in
general, we shall systematically aud very
inlly acqrnint our readers with the great de-
pnrImcnt OF Foreign affairs, without entirely
neglrcting our own.
Willie we aspire to make the Living Are
desirable to all who wish to keep themselves
informed of the rapid progress of The more
mcnt-to Statesmen, Diyinps, Lawyers, and
Physicians-to men of bnsimess aud men of
leisure-it is srill n stronger object to make

somc good IN our day aud generations; and
hope To nuke the work indispensable in
every wcll-iniornIed family. We say iniis.
