HARPER'S ETAGAZLNE.
VOLUME KIN.

With the last Number HARPER's New MONTH
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 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 Relic-
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 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 crave themes of
historical 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 "Reccrd" viii briefly chronicle events Of po>
litcal or historical Importance; the Literary No.
tees will furnish impartial critiques upon the
leading books, as they issue from tie 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 mainly filled
with original papers upon American subjects, fur
nished by American authors, the Publishers will
also procure from foreign sources such coutribu-
tons as may seem to them of special interest or
value. The Magazine, containing at lie !st one
third more matter than any other published in
the country, will be able to give an Essay by Mac
auley or Carlyle, Serial Novel by Bulwer, Dick
ems, Thackeray, 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 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 aid pencil.
In making these selections from the mass of
matter continually placed in their hands, the
Editors will be Influenced solely by their iudg-
ment Of the intrinsic merits of the articles, Who'll,
ly irrespective of their authorship. Contributions
from entire strangers will receive the same con-
sldeIation as those rom 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
s.; for many OF the most valuable articles hich
1t has contained have been received from writer's
who were unknown to the Editors and to the
public
The unexampled success of the Magazine impo-
se5 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 a continuance and increase
OF the favor with which it has unifornly met
