HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
VOLUME XIX.

With the last Number, HAMPERS New MONTH
IL MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth Year of its
publication Its general aims and Objects, ard
the manner in which they are carried ont, arc
now so 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 Relig-
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 ev-
cry section of the country.
The Editorial Departments Of the Magazine
viii present. the same features az heretofore. In
the liable" viii be discussed grave themes of
historical or ethical interest; the ''Eas7 Chair
viii touch upon the varying social and aesthetic
topics of the day at home; the foreign Bureau
sill present the gossip and chat Of the Old World
the Record" viii briefly chronicle events of po>
htcai Or historical Importance; the Literary Mo-
ices will furnish impartial criJqucs upon the
leading books as they issue from the press: the
Drawer will, by favor Of hundreds of c9ntrbu-
tors, continue to be the repository Of odd, humo-
rous, or pathetic anecdotes, sayings, and remines-
Ceuce.
While the Magazine will still be mainly Hllsd
with original papers upon American subjects, fur
nishod ty AmeiiGa authors, the Publishers will
also procure from foreign sources such coutribu-
lions as may seem t. h-u of snccia 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 Hac-
aUey or Carlyle, Serial Novel by Bulwer, Dick
ems, Thackerav, or Rsaie or a Tale by Miss
Aui,och, Ars. G,-seH, or Hl.t.e Collins, and
stiH irrrisA more original matter gh1n any olits
The se.;s- Of Il. os.r...d Papers upon American
Scenery, Manners aud lI-to,y viii continue to
be q special feature OF ;he Magazine. These will
be continued gt frequent Intervals, until every
portion o. our continent has been faithfully illus
tratea by zen 4 pencil.
In making these selections from the mass Of
matter continually placed in their hands, tic
Editors will be / ilueHccd solely by their judy,
ment OF the intrinsic merits of the articles who>
ly irrespective Of their an horship Contributions
from entire strangers will receive the same con-
sldelation as those from the most Intimate friends
II the Editors. They might spare themselves
much Labor By refusing to examine contributions
from those whose names are not already known
10 the Public; but they are confident that the
Magazine would lose much in variety and fresh-
n s; for many cf the most valuable articles which
1t has contained have bean received from writer's
who we're unknown TO the Editors and to the
public
The unexampIed success of the Magazine impo-
IS corresponding duties upon the Publishers
At no former Q Rod have their facilities been
as great as now; and they pledge themselves that
10 effort or expense shall be spared to make the
Magazine worthy at a continuance and Increase
