represented, 80 that while each number will
:ontpin articles of an abstract and permanent
value. il viii also be found that the healthy
appetite of the mind for entertainment in IFS
various forms of Narrative Wit, and Humor,
will not go unsared for, The publishers wish
to say, also, that while native writer's will re-
ceive the most solid encouragement. and will
be mainly relied ON TO fill the pages of the
ATLANTIC, they viii not hesitate To draw from
the foreign sources at their command, rs occa-
sion may require, relying rather on the COM
potency Of an author TO treat a particular sub
ect. than on any other claim whatever. In
this way they hope To make their Periodical
welcome wherever the English tongue is spo-
ken or read,
SECOND: In the term ART they intend to
include the whole domain of aesthetics, and
hope gradually TO make this critical department
a true and fearless representative of Art, in all
its various branches, without any regaed to
prejudice. whether personal or national, 81 to
private considerations of what kind soever.
THIRD: In Politics. the ATLANTIC will be
the organ of no party or clique, bat viii hon
estly cndeayor 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 tram
sce=ds all persons and parties, and which alone
makes the basis of true and lasting national
prosperity. 1t viii 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 subioin the following list of literary
persons Interested in their enterprise /; wishing
it, however. to be distinctly understood Thai
they shall hope for support from every kind of
ability which desires the avenue of their col
unns, and III the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely by their sense of intriii-
sic merit =
