HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
VOLUME XIX.

With the last Number HARPER's New NONTH
| 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 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 ev-
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 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 Ola World:
the Record" will briefly chronicle events of po-
litical or historical Importance; the Literary No.
tees will furnish impartial cTitiques upon the
| leading books they issue from the press; the
Drawer" viii, by favor Of hundreds of contribu-
tors, continue to be the repository of odd humo-
rous, or pathetic anecdotes sayings, and remnes-
cence.
While the Magazine will still be mainly filed
with original papers upon American subjects, fur
nlshed by American authors, the Publishers will
also procure from foreign sources such contribu-
tons as may seem to them of special interest or
value The Magazine, containing at least one
third more matter than any other published in
the country, will be able to give Essay by Mac,
auley or yle, Serial Novel by Buwer, Dick
ems, Thackerav, or Reade. or a Tale by Miss
MuIloch, Mrs. G1skell, or Wilkie Collins, and
still furnish more original matter than any of its
contemporaries.
The series OF Illustrated Papers unon American
Scenery, tanners, and History will continue to
he 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 a pencil.
In making these selections from the mass of
matter continually placed in their hands, the
Editors viii be Influenced solely by their iudg-
ment of the intrinsic merits of the articles, who>
ly Irrespective of their authorship. Contributions
from entire strangers will receive the same con-
sideration as those rom the most intimate friends
of the Editors. They might spare themselves
much labor by refusing to examine contributions
from those whose names not already known
TO the Public; but they 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 now; and they pledge themselves that
