The Atlantic Monthly.
SAMPSON Il COMP'Y'S
NEW ZINE
DEVOTED TO LITERATURE, ART & Politics.
IT'S AIM WILL BE

FIRST In Literature, to leave 70 province I'M
represented, that while each number will
contain articles Of an abstract and perma nent
value, it will also be found that the healthy mp
petite of the mind for entertainment in its va
rious forms of Narrative Wit, and Humor will
not go uncared for The Publishers wish to say
also, that while native writers will receive tho
most solid encouragement, and will be mainly
relied on to fill the pages of the ATLANTIC, they
will not hesitate TO draw from the foreign sour
ces at their command, as occasion NAV require,
relying rather on the competency Of an author
to treat particular subject, than on any other
claim whatever. In this way they hope to
make their Periodical welcome wherever tho
English language is spoken read.
SECOND In the term Art, they intend to in
clude the whole domain of aesthetics, and hope
gradually to make this critical department 4
true and fearless representative OF Art in all its
various branches, without any regard to preju-
dice, whether personal or national or to private
considerations of what kind socyer.
THIRD In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be the
organ of no party or clique, but will honestly
endeavor to be the exponent of whatits conduc
tors believe to be tho American idea. 1t will deal
frankly with persons and with 4arties, endeav-
oring always to keep in view that moral element
which transcends all persons and parties, and
which alone makes the basis Of u true and last
ing national prosperity. 1t will not rank itself
with any sect of antics, but with that body OF
men which is in favor Of Freedom, National
Progress, and Honor, whether public or private.
As an earnest of the material at their COM
mand, they suhjoin the following list of literary
persons Interested in their enterprise wishing
it, however, to be distinctly understood, that
they shall hope for support from every kind Of
ability which desires the avenueoftheir columns
and in the remuneration Of which they shall be
guided purely by their sense of intrinsic merit
