HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
VOLUME XIX.

With the last Number HARPERs New MONTH
LY MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth ! ear of its
publication. Its general aims and objects, and
the manner in which they are Carried out,
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 Relig-
ion, Of no other clique in Literature or Art. 1t
aims to meet the wants and express the sent-
ments of the wise and good, the conservative and
patriotic, 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 "Table'' will be discussed grave themes of
historical or ethical interest; the Easy Chair"
viii toneh 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 po>
litcal 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-
tors, continue to be the repository of odd, humo-
rous, or pathetic anecdotes, sayings, and remines-
cence.
While the Magazine will still be mainly filed
with original papers upon American subjects, fur
nished 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 lie ,st one
third more matter than any ether published in
the country, will be able to give an Essay by Mac
auley or Carlyle a Serial Novel by Bulwer, Dick
ens, ThackeraY, or Reade. or a Tale by Miss
Mulloch, Mrs. Gaskell, 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 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 AID pencil.
In making these selections from the mass of
matter continually placed in their hands the
Editors will be Influenced solely by their judg-
ment of the intrinsic merits of the a. ticles whol~
ly irrespective of their authorship Contributions
from entire strangers will receive the same con-
sideratlOn as those from the most Intimate friends
of the Editors. They might spare themselves
much labor by refusing to examine contributions
from those whose names are not already known
to the Public; but they are confident that the
Magazine would lose much in variety and fire. sh-
NJ s.; for 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.
The unexampled success ofthe Magazine impo-
ses corresponding duties upon the Publishers.
AT no former period have their facilities been
as great now; and they pledge themselves that
no effort or expense shall be spared to make the
Magazine worthy OF a continuance and increase
Of the favor with which il has uniformly met.
From TRU BNFR'S Guide to American Literature
eve must refer in terms of eulogy to The high
tone and varied excellencies of HARPER's MAGA-
ANE journal with monthly circulation of about
10 900 copies, in whose pages is to be found
some of the choicest light and general reading Of
the day. We speak OF this work as an evidence of
literary taste of the American people, and the
popularity it has acquired is merrited. Each
Nnmder contains fully IA pages of instructive
matter, appropriately illustrated with good wood
cuts; and it combines in itself the racy monthly
and the more philosophical quarterly, blended
with the best features of the daily journal. 1t has
great power in the creation and dissemination
a love of pure literature"
