NEN MAGAZINE
DEVOTED TO
Literature, Art and Politics.
IT'S AIM WILL BE

FI2sT: In Literature TO leave no province
sssnresented, 50 that while each number will
;untan articles of an abstract and permanent
value, it will also be found that the healthy
appetite of the mind for entertainment in its
various forms of Narrative, Wit, and HumOr,
will not 90 unsared for, The publishers wish
TO saw, also, that while native writers will re-
ceiye the most solid encouragement, and will
be mainly relied on to fill the pages Of the
ATLANTIC, they viii not hesitate TO draw from
the foreign sources at their command, as occa-
sion may require relying rather on the COM
potency of an author to treat a particular sub
iect, than on any other claim whatever. In
this way they hope to make then Periodical
welcome wherever the English tongue is spo-
ken or read,
SECOND: In the term ART they intend to
include the whole domain of aesthetics, and
hope gradually to make this critical department
a true and fearless representative of Art, in all
its various branches, without any regaed to
prejudice, whether personal or national, or to
private considerations of what kind soever.
THIRD: In Politics. the ATLANTIC will be
the organ of no party or clique. but will hon.
cstly endeavor to be the exponent of what its
conductors believe to be the American idea,
Tt will deal frankly with persons and
in view that moral element which tram
scegds 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.
As am earnest of the material at their COM
mand, they subioin the following list of literary
persons Interested in their enterprise wishing
It. however, to be distinctly understood, that
thew shall hope for support from every kind of
ability which desires the avenue of their coll
umns, and in the remuneration of which they
shall be guided purely by their sense of intrin-
sic merit -
