sill not 90 unsared for, The publishers wish
| TO say, also, that while native writers viii re-
ceive the most solid encouragement, and will
| 1e mainly relied on to fill the pages of the
| ATLANTIC they will not hesitate to draw from
| The foreign sources at their command, as occa-
| sion may require, relying rather on the con-
| 1etency of an author to treat a particular sub
ect, than on any other claim whatever. Tn

| SECOND: In the term ART they intend to
include the whole domain of aesthetics. and

| 3rivate considerations of what kind soever.
THIRD: In Politics, the ATLANTIC will be
the organ of no party or clique, but will hon
stlv endeavor to I've the exponent of what its
conductors believe to be the American idea,
1t will deal frankly with persons and
with parties, endeavoring always TO keep
in view that moral element which tran
sends all persons and parties, and which alone
makes the basis of true and lasting national
prosperity. 1t will not rank itself with any
sect of antics, but with that body of men which
is in favor of Freedom, National Progress and
Honor, whether public or private.

mand they subioin the following list of literary
persons Interested in their enterprise; wishing
