And to the dissemination OF
SCOTTISH LITERATURE AND NEWS.
Considering the multiplicity Of newspapers in Amer
lea, it has to many been matter OF surprise that the
numerous body of Scottish residents should have bee"
80 long unreprescnted. To supply this desideratun
No. | Of the Scottish AMERICAN JOURNAL was Pu'
lished on Saturday, August Z, 1887, and Is now con
tinued weekly.
The primary object Of the JOURNAL is to furnish j
readers regularly with the news OF their native countr.
1t presents u weekly record of all events OF interest {"
curing in Scotland. and it's subscribers are in this w
as fully informed of what is transpiring at home az
they were in regular receipt of an old country newspaper
Scottish questions will be discussed with intelligence an
impartiality in the editorial columns, aud the sentinel"
of the leading parties on these subjects will be fa'riy
represented aud commented on.
In the literary and miscellaneous department OF Il
paper, while merit and talent will be appreciated fion
whatever country they emanate, the Scottish elemep
will preponderate. Tales, sketches, and poetry, hlustra
tive of the Scottish character, and OF a nature lifted t
call forth the sympathies Of Scotsmen, both at bon
and abroad, will occupy a compicuous place. In tn
department., the CO. cooperation of various distingui'he
authors. possessing unrivalled facilities for the task, ha
been secured.

general public. Questions involving the interests o
British residents in the United States and Of the British
Provinces, will be specially considered, and it is believed
that the information and views of the JOURNAL on thA
important class Of subjects will be such as shall com
mand attention.
The ScorrIsH AMERICAN JOURNAL will in every re
spect be conducted in an efficient and business like man
ner, with every requisite guarantee for its psrmanenoe
The proprietors who are responsible parties, resident II
New York and elsewhere, therefore look with confidence
for the support of their numerous countrymen in al
parts Of America, and they will be glad to comnuniea'
with respectable parties at a distance who may be dis
| posed to cooperate with them for the establishment o
the paper in their respective localities.
A publication established with these objects must O
course look for support mainly from those connected b.
birth or descent with the country whose current history
it chronicles; but as the broad basis Of this journal ne
cessitates, in addition, the treatment Of al important
questions affecting American interests, and as its litera
turc will be cosmopolitan, it is hoped that even to tn
general reader its columns will not appear uneutertain
ing or ~pro6tlcss.
