VOLUME XIX

With Tire last Number, HARPER's NEW MONTH
LY MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth Year of its
publication. It's general aims and objects, aud
the manner in which they are carried out, are
now well known, that the Publishers think it
scarcely necessary to say that the Magazine is tho
organ of no party in Politics. of no sect in Relg-
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 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 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~
litica or 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 viii still be manly filed
with original papers upon American subjects, fur
nished by American authors, the Publishers viii!
also procure from foreign sources such coutribu-
lions 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 an Essay by Mac
auley or Carlyle, Serial Novel by Bulwer, Dick
ems, Thackerav, 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 viii
be continued at frequent intervals, until every
portion OF our continent has been faithfully illus
trated by pen a. pencil.
10 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-
sideration 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 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 writer's
! 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 expense shall be spared to make the
| Magazine worthy of a continuance and Increase
OF the favor with which it has uniformly met.
