HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
VOLUME XIX.

With the last Number, HARPER's new MoKTH
LY MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth Year of its
publication. Its general aims and objects and
the manner in which they are carried out, are
now 80 well known, that the Publishers think it
scarcely necessary 90 say that the Magazine is the
organ of no party in Politics, of no sect in Reg-
ion, of no other clique in Literature or Art. 1t
| aims to meet the wants and express the senti-
ments Of the wise and good, the conservative and
patriotic, who form the of the citizens of ev-
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
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 po>
litical 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 contribu-
tors, continue to be the repository of odd humo-
rous, or pathetic anecdotes, sayings, and remnes-
cence.
While the Magazine will still be msinly filled
with original papers upon American subjects, fur.
nished by American authors, the Publishers will
| also procure from foreign sources such contribu-
tons may seem to them of special interest or
value The Magazine, containing at least one
third more matter than any other published in
the country, will be able to give Essay by Mac.
auley or Carlyle, Serial Norel by Buwer, Dick
ems, 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 ard 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 articles who's
ly irrespective of their authorship. Contributions
from entire strangers will receive the same con-
sideraton 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 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
Magazine worthy of continuance and increase
Of the favor with which it has uniformly met
