EARPER'S EkGAZINE.
VOLUME NIX.

With the last Number, HAEPER's new MoyTu
| 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, are
now so we'll known, that the Publishers think it
scarcely necessary to say that the Magazinei is the
organ of no party in Politics, OF no sect in Reg-
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 eY
cry section of the country.
! The Editorial Departments Of the Magazine
will present. the same features as heretofore. In
the 'Tabe" viii be discussed grave themes Of
historical or ethical interest; the 'gasy Chair"
viii touch upon the varying social and aesthetic
topics Of the day at hcme; the Foreign Bureau
viii present the gossip aud chat Of the Ola World:
the ''Record" will briefly chronicle events Of po>
tical or historical Importance; the Literary No.
tices' 'will furnish impartial critque5 upon tho
leading books, as they issue from the press: the
Drawer" viii, by favor of hundreds of contribu-
tors, continue TO be the repository of odd, hume
rous, or pathetic anecdotes, sayings, and remnes-
cenCc.
While the Magazine will stiIl be mainly filed
with original papers upon American subjects, fur
nished by American authors, the Publishers will
also procure from foreign sources such contribu-
lions as may seem to them of special interest or
value. The Magazine containing at le st one
third more matter than any other published! in
the country, will be able to give an Essay by Mac,
aGley or Carlyle, Serial Novel by Buwer, Dick
ems, Thackerav, Or Reade, or q Tale by Miss
MuloCh, Nrs. Gaskel, or Wilhic Collins, AMI
still furnish more original matter than any Of its
contemporaries.
The series oflIlustratcd Papers upon American
Scenery, Manners, and History will continue so
be q special feature of the Magazine These will

portion of our continent has been faithfully Illus
trated By pen ard pencil.
In making these selections from the mass Of
matter continually placed in their hands, the
Editors will be Influenced solely by their judg>
mant of the intrinsic merits of the articles, whole
ly irrespective Of their authorship. Contributions
from entire strangers Will receive the same con-
sheraton as those from the most innate friends
OF the Editors. They might sraro 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 fro ST.
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 unoxampIed success of the Magazine impo,
ses corresponding duties upon the Publishers.
At no former period have their facilities been
az great as now; and they pledge themselves that
no effort or expense shall be spared to make the
Magazine worthy of a continuance and increase
Of the favor with which it has uniformly met.
