VOLUME XIX,

With the last Number, IIARPER's NEW MONTH
LY MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth Year of its
publication Its general aims and objects aud
the manner in which they are carried out. are
now so Well known, that the Publishers think it
scarcely necessary to say that the Magazine is the
organ of no party in Politics, of no sect in Reg-
ion, of no other clique III Literature or Art. 1t
aims to meet the wants ard express the senti-
ments of the wise and good, the conservative and
pLriotie, who form the mass OF the citizens of ey
cry section of The country.
The Editorial Departments of the Magazine
will present. the same features as heretofore In
the ''Tabe" will be discussed grave themes of

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 Record" will briefly chronicle events of POI
litical historical Importance; the Literary No
tees will furnish impartial critiques upon the
leading books as they issue from the press: the
drawer" will, by favor of hundreds of contribu-

While the Magazine will still be mainly filed
with original papers upon American subjects, fur

much labor by refusing to examine contributions
from those whose names not already known
to the Public; but they are confident that the
Magazine would lose much in variety and frt sh>
ness; tor many OF the most valuable articles which
it has contained have been received from writer's
who were unknown to the Editors and to the
public.
