IT'S AIM WILL BE

FIRST In Literature, to leave no province
unrepresented, so that while each lumber will
contain articles ~ an abstract aud permanent
value, IL will also be found that the healthy
appetite of the mind for entertainment In its
various forms OF Narrative, Wit, and HumOr,
will not 60 uncared for. The publishers wish
to saw, also, that while native writers will re-
ceive the most solid Encouragement, and will
be mainly relied on TO ill the pages Of the
ATLANTIC, they will not hesitate TO draw
from the foreign scources at their command
az occasion NAV require, relying rather on the
competency OF an author TO treat a particular
subject, than on any other claim whatrvGr.
In this way they hope TO make the ir periodi-
cal welcome wherever the English tongue Is
spoken or read.
SECOND ; In the term ARr they intend to in
clude the whole domain Of aesthetics, and
hope gradually to make this critical dedart-
ment a true and fearless representative of Art
In all its various branches, without any regard
to prejudice, whether personal or national, OF
u private considerations Of what kind soever.
THIRD: In Politics, the ATLANTIC will he
the organ of no party clique, but will honestly
endeavor to be the exponent of what its con-
dnctors believe to he the American idea 1t
will deal frankly with persons and with part
les, endeavorsng TO keep in view that moral sl-
ement which transcends all persons an! par
ties and which alone makes the basis of a
true and lasting national prosperity. II will
not rank itself with any sect of Antics, bat
WITH that body Of men which are in favor Of
Freedom, National Progress, and Honor,
whether public or private.
Az an earnest of the material at their com
m md, they suhioin the following list of litera-
nv persons interested in their enterprise swish
In IL however to be distinctly understood,
mat they shall hope for support from every
kind of ability which desires the avenue of
sA.g. a1,a and In gha enumeration 80
which they shall be guided purely by their
sense Of intrinsic merit -
