THE NEW MAGAZINE,
THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY
DEVOTED To
LITERATURE, ART, AND POLITICS.
THE dim of the Periodical wW be,

FIRST. In Literature, to leave no province I'M
represented, so that, while each number will con-
tain articles of abstract and permanent value, it
will also be found that the healthy appetite of the
mind for entertainment in its various forms of mar
rative, wit and humor, will not go uncared for
The publishers wish to say, also. that while native
writers will receive the most solid encoura cement,
and will be mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
Atlantic, they will not hesitate to draw from the
foreign sources at their command, as occasion may
require, relying rather on the competency of an
author to treat a particular subject, than on anv
other claim whatever. In this way they hope to
make their Periodical welcome wherever the Eng
lish language is spoken read.
SECo' d. In the term Art, it is intended to in
cude the whole domain of aesthetics, and they hope
gradually to make this critical department true
and fearless representative of Art in all its various
branches, without any regard to prejudice whether
personal or national, or to private considerations
of what kind soever.
| THIRD. In Politics. the Atlantic will be the organ
of no party or clique, bnt will honestly endeav0r TO
be the exponent of what its conductors believe to
be the American idea. 1t will deal frankly with
persons and with parties, endeavoring always to
keep in view that moral element which transcends
all persons and partie-, and which alone makes the
basis of true and lasting national prosperity. 1t
will not rank itself with any sect of antics, but with
that body of which is in favor of Freedom,
National Progress and Honor whether public or
/ private.
