IPON the first appearance of this magazine, its
~ purpose and scope were announced rs follows:
First: In literature, to leave no province unprc-
pared, so that while each number will contain articles
of an abstract and permanent value, it will also be
found that the healthy appetite of the mind for enter
tainment in its various forms Of narrative, wit and hui
NOR, will not go uncared for. The publishers wish to
say, also, that while native writer's will receive the
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 sources at their command, Us
occasion may require, relying rather on the compet-
ency of an author to treat Il particular subject, than
on any other claim whatever. In this way they hope
to make their periodical welcome wherever the English
tongue is spoken or read.
Second: In the term Art they intend to include tho
whole domain of %nthetics, and hope gradually to make
this critical department a true and fearless representa-
tive OF art in all its various branches, without any re-
gard to prejudice, whether personal Or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soever.
Third: In Politics, the Atlantic, will be tho organ
of no party or clique, but will honestly cndoavor to be
the exponent of what its conductors believe To he tho
American idea. 1t will deal frankly with persons and
with parties, endeavoring always to keep in view that
moral element which trnnscends all persons and par
ties, and which alone makes the basis of II true and
lasting national prosperity. 1t will not rank itself with
in favor of freedom, national progress, and honor,
whether public or private.
The publishers desire to say that the experiment has
been more than successful; that the supply of literary
