HARPER'S MAGAZINE,
VOLUME XIX.

With the last Number, HARPER's NEW yovru
LY MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth Year of ils
publication. Its general aims and objects, ard
the manner in which they are carried out. are
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 Liter allure 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 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 no,
litical or historical Importance; the Literary No.
tees will furnish impartial cIitiques upon the
leading books. as they issue from the press: the
'Drawer" will, by favor of hundreds of c1ntribu-
tors, continue to be the repository of odd bumo
rous, or pathetic anecdotes sayings, and remincs-

While the Magazine will still be msirly filed
with original papers upon American subjects, fur
nished by American authors, the Publishers will
also procure from foreign sources such contribu-

Muoch, Mrs Caskel, or Wilkie Collins, and
still furnish more original matter than any of its
contemporaries.
The series of Illustrated Papers upon American

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 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 or expense shall be spared to make the
magazine worthy OF q continuance and increase
