CONSOLIDATION
CONSOLIDATION
OF
EMERSON'S MAGAZINE
AND
PUTNAM'S MONTHLY.
10000 SUBSCRIBERS TO START WITH!


The Publishers are happy to announce that in
the union of these favorte Magazines, the best
literary and artistic talent of both publications
has been secured and the more attractive features
of each will be retained in the consolidated work.
1t will aim to present in its pages the choic-
est productions Of American thinkers and writers,
and the best efforts of American artists
1t will be purely national in its characters in its
criticisms it will aim to be just and truthful, and
will be careful TO preserve and cultivate that whole
some moral and religious tone so highly cherished
by the American public, and so essential to the
welfare of the race.
| We shall endeavor, by sagacous use of the
extensive resources now at our command, to make
Magazine that in the richness of its literary con-
tents and in the beauty and profuseness of its
pictorial Illustrations, shall outrval any pubca-
ton ever published in this country.
The new issue commences with the October
number, which is now ready. 1t is filled with the
choicest productions of some of the most bril-
liant writers of the day, and is embellished with

PHILLIPS, SAMPSON AND COMPANY

Will commence the issue, on the first OF Novem-
Der, Of a new Magazine, TO be called
THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY.
1t will be devoted to Literature, Art, and Poll
tics The aim of the Periodical will be,
First: In Literature, to leave no province I'M
represented so that, while each number will con-
tain articles of an abstract and permanent value,
it will also be found that tho healthy appetite of
the mind for entertainment In its various forms of
Narrative, Wit, and Humor, will not go uncared
for. They wish to say, also, that while native
writer's will receive the most encouragement and
will be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
ATLANTIC, the publishers will not hesitate TO draw
from the foreign sources at their command, as oc-
cason may require, relying rather on the compe-
tency of an author to treat particular subject,
than on any other claim whatever. In this way
they hope to make their Periodical welcome where
ever the English tongue is spoken or read.
Second In the term Art they intend to include
the whole domain of aesthetics, and hope gradu-
ally to make this critical department. a true and
fearless representative of Art, in all its various
branches, without any regard to prejudice, wheth-
er personal or national, or TO private considera-
tons of what kind soever.
Third: In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the or
gan of no party or clique, but will honestly en-
deavor to be the exponent of what its conductors
believe to be the American Idea. 1t will deal
| frankly with persons and with parties, endeavor-
ing always to keep in view the moral element
which transcends all persons and parties, and
which alone makes the basis of q true and lasting
national prosperity. 1t will not rank itself with
any sect or antics, but with that body of men
which is in favor of Freedom National Progress
and Honor, whether public or private.
| TERMs.-Three dollars year, or twenty
cents a number, and may be obtained OF BoOksel-
| lers, Periodical Agents, or of the Publishers

EDITOR OF TIMEs-Dear Sir: If cholera or
yellow fever were in our midst or on its march
towards our city, almost the only question would
he the means by which the pestilence might be
averted Every one would be on his guard, and
would gladly seek for any reliable information
upon so important subject. Our Board Of Health
would publish carefully drawn rules for our OBJ
servance, and papers would be filled with opin
ions, letters or essays from every quarter where
instruction could be drawn. But there is plague
that is now annually sweeping from midst
more victims than cholera or yellow fever ever
carried Off in any ten years. and yet no one seems
to be in any degree aware of the importance of
timely measures to avert it. There in the
United States at the present moment not less than
quarter of q million Of consumptives or of per-
sons laboring under some form of disease of the
throat or lungs which will speedily result in con-
sumption, and am safe in saying that thousands
of these might be saved if they but understood
the nature and cures of the disease and would but
act upon that knowledge
In view Of these facts, therefore. propose TO
furnish in q series of letters such information
shall enable those in any degree inclined to con-
sumption to be on their guard against, and to ward
Of the disease. shall also point out the nature
or consumption and offer such proofs of its cura-
bty as may afford reasonable encouragement and
hope TO many actually laboring under the disease
shall endeavor to show under what circumstln-
ces 1t is curable and to give also such directions
as may be necessary for the prevention or relief
of various other affections which predispose to
that disease. had designed to commence the
publication OF these letters earlier. but pressure
of professional duties has prevented. Hope, how
ever to be able to furnish an article each week I'M
