HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
VOLUME XIX.

With the last Number HARpER's New MONTH
LY MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth Year of its
publication. Its general aims and objects, AID
the manner in which they carried out, are
now so well known, that the Publishers think is
scarcely necessary to say that the Magazine is tho
organ of no party in Politics, of no sect in Relig-
ion, of no other clique in Lteatur or Art. It
aims to meet the wants and express the senti-
ments of the wise and good, tho conservative and
pltriotic 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. la
the ''Table" will be discussed grave themes of
historical or 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 POI
litical or historical Importance; the Literary No
tees will furnish impartial critiques upon the
leading books, as they issue from the press: the
sDrawer" will, by favor Of hundreds of contyibu.
tors, continue TO be the repository of odd, humo-
rous or pathetic anecdotes, sayings, and remines-
cence.
| While the Magazine will still be mainly filed
with original papers upon American sub Jects, for
nished by American authors, the Publishers will
also procure from foreign sources such contrbu-
tons as may seem to them of special interest or
value. The Magazine, containing at lelst one
| third more matter than any other published III
the country, will be able to give an Essay by Mac,
| auley or Carlyle, Serial Novel by Dulwer, Dick
ems, Thackeray, or Reade. Tale by Mics
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 aud pencil
In making these selections from the 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's
ly irrespective of their authorship Contributions
from entire strangers will receive the same con-
sideration as those from 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 tho
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 or expense shall be spared to make the
OF the favor with which it has uniformly met.
From TRUBNFR'S Guide to American Literature
eve must refer in terms of eulogy to the high
tone and varied excellencies of HARPERs MAGA-
ZNE journal with monthly circulation of about
900 copies, in whose pages is to be found
some of the choicest light and general reading of
the day We speak of this work as an evidence of
literary taste of the American people, and the
popularity it has acquired is merrited. Each
Nnmder contains fully 144 pages of instructive
matter, appropriately illustrated with good wood
cuts; and it combines in itself the racy monthly
and the more philosophical quarterly, blended
with the best features of the daily journal 1t has
great power in the creation and dissemination 0
