CONSIDERING that Louis Gaylord Clark
" has been, fer the uGexampled period of
twenty years, editor of leading Literary Mag
azine in this country that his lahors mean
while have been constant, arduous and lire
quilted that they have been eminently- cred
liable to his abilities and character, and OF great
service TO his country in developing its intel
lectual resources, several of his friends met
together last December to devise some suitable
plan for rendering to him a substantial compli-
mentary Benefit, in all respects appropriate for
the Literary Class to offer, and for him to re-
ceive- The result was a project for publishing
such a work as is above described ; and upon
submitting the plan to Washington Irving, Will
liam c. Bryant, Fitz-Henry HHlIeck, Henry w.
LongfelIow and other leading Literary men of
the United States, 1t received their cordial APP
prevail so that the committee having the mat
ter in hand are able to announce for the ensu-
ing season n Literary Sovenie, beyond all par
allcl in the eminence of its writer's and in me-
chanicaI execution equal at least to any SINH
lar publication ever Issued from the American
press. The collection of portraits of Ameri-
can writers will be far more complete than any
hitherto attempted.
