HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
NnITNE Xix,

With rho last Number. UARPEa's NEW XoSTH
N,c.zf.y enters upon the Tenth Year of its
publication. It's general aims and objects, ana
the manner in which they are crred out, are
now SO we'll known, that the Publishers think 1t
scarcely necessary to say that the Magazine Is the
organ Of no party in Politics, OF sect in Relig-
ON. O: no other Clique in l. ter azure or Art. 1t
inns to meet the wants and express the sentI-
nents Of the wise ard good, the conserv tive and
eItriotic who form the MAS Of the citizens OF eY-
erv section of The country.
The Editorial Departments OF the Magazine
will present. the same features as heretofore. In
the liable" will be discussed grave themes Of
historical or ethical interest; the Easy Chan"
will touch upon the varying social and aesthetic
topics Of the day at home; the Foreign Bureau
will present the gossip and chat of the Old World;
the ''Racord" will briefly chronicle events Of POI
Eitcal or historical Importance; the Literary No.
| tees will furnish impartial critques upon the
| leading books as they Issue from the press: the
| Drawer" will by favor Of hundreds OF contrlbu-
tors continue to be the repository Of odd, humo-
rous, or pathetic anecdotes, sayings, and remneg-
| ceuce.
| While the Magazine viii still be mainly filed
with original papers upon American SUI jccts, fur
ni1hed by American authors, the Publishers will
also procure from foreign sources such contribu-
tons as may seem to them of special interest or
value. The Magazine, containing at lest one
third more matter than any other published In
the country, will be able to give an Essay by Mac.
auley or CIrlyle, a Serial Novel by Bulwer, Dick
ems, Thackerav, or Reade. Tale by Miss
Mulloch, Mr.. G,skell, or Wilkie Collins, and
still furnish more original matter than any of its
contemporaries.
The series Of Illustrated Papers upon American
Scenery, Manners, and History will continue TO
be a special feature of the Magazine These will
be continued at frequent intervals, until every
portion Of our continent has been faithfully Illus
trated by pen pencil.
Ia making these selections from tie mass OF
matter continually placed in their hands, the
Editors will be i.huenced solely by their judg-
ment of the intrinsic rits of the articles, who'll
ly irrespective Of their authorship. Contributions
! from entire Strangers will receive the same con-
>ideration as those from the most Ultimate friends
of the Editors. They might spare themselves
| much labor by refusing to examine contributions
/ from those whose lmeS not already known
! TO the Public; but they confident that the
! Magazine would Csc much in variety and fresh
ness; for many Of the most valuable articles which
it has contained have been received from writers
who were unknown TO the Editors and to the
public.
The unexampled success Of the Magazine impo-
| ses corresponding duties upon the Publishers.
At no former period have their facilities been
as great as now; and they pledge themselves that
no effort or expense shall be spared to make the
! Magaz Ne worthy of continuance and increase
OF the favor with which it has uniformly met.
