HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
VOLUME XIX.

With the last Number, HARpKRs New MONTH
LY MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth Year of its
publication. Its general aims and objects, and
the manner in which they are carried out, are
nos SO well known, that the Publishers think it
scarcely necessary to cav that the Magazine is the
organ of 40 party i'll Politics, of no sect in Relig-
ion, of 10 other clique in Literature or Art. Ii
aims to meet the wants and express the senti-
ments OF the wise and good, the conservative and
patriotic, WI o fern the mass OF the citizens of ey-
erv 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 Easy Chair"
will touch upon the varying social and aesthetic
topics of the day at home; the Foreign Bureau
viii present the gossip and chsE of the Old World;
the Record" will briefly chronicle events of POI
tcal or historical Importance; the Literary No.
tees will furnish impartial critiques upon the
leading books they issue from the press: the
Drawer" will, by favor of hundreds of contribu-
tors. continue to be the repository Of odd, humo-
rous, CIR pathetic anecdotes, sayings, and remines-
ceuce
While the Magazine will still be msinly filed
with original papers upon American subjects, fur
nished by American authors, the Publishers will
also procure from foreign sources such coutribu-
lions as may seem TO them Of special interest or
value. The Magazine, containing at least
third more matter than any other published in
the country, will be able TO give Essay by Mac
aulcy or Carlyle, q Serial Novel by Bulwer, Dick
ems, Thacherav, or Rcade. or Tale by Miss
MulIoch, Mrs G4skell, or Wnkie Collins, and
still furnish more original matter than any of its
cotemporaIles.
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 pencil.
Ia making these selections from the mass of
matter continually placed in their hands, the
Editors will be i. huenced solely by their judg-
ment OF the intrinsic merits of the articles who's
~ irrespective of their authorship. Contributions
