HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
VOLUME XIX.

With the last Number, HARPER's NEW MONTH
LY MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth Year of its
publication. It's general aims and objects, and
the manner in which they are carried out, arc
now 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 Relg-
ion of no other clique in LiteIatur or Art. 1t
aims to meet the wants and express the senti-
ments of the wise and good, the conservative and
pIriotic 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 or ethical interest; the ''gasy 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 DO
litical 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~s
cenCc.
While the Magazine will still be mainly filed
with original papers upon American subjects, fur
nshed by American authors, the Publishers will
also procure from foreign sources such contribu-
tons as 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 give an Essay by Mac
au}cy or Carlyle, Serial Novel by Bulwer, Dick
ems, Whackerav, Reade. or a Tale by Miss
Nulloch, Mrs. Gaskell, Wilkie Collins, and
still furnish more original mater than any of it's
COtemporaries.
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 ut frequent intervals until every
portion Of our continent has been faithfully illus
trated by PEI AID pencil.
In making these selections from the mass of
matter continually placed in their hands, the
Editors viii be Influenced solely by their iu6g-
ment Of the intrinsic merits of the articles, Who'll,
y irrespective of their authorship. Contributions
from entire strangers will receive the same con-
sIdeiatiCn as those from the most iHtmate 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
nCss; fer 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
puLlic
The unexampled success ofthe Magazine impo-
ses corresponding duties upon the Publishers
At 10 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.
