HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
VOLUME XIX.

With the last Number, UARPER's NEW MoNTTr
LY MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth Year of its
publication. lis general aims and objects, and
the manner in VII ch they ere o'rricd out. are
now SO sell .ugsc, 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 aure or Art. 1t
aims to meet the wants and express the senti--
mcnts of the wise and good, the conservative and
Patriotic, who form the mass of the citizens of ev-
cry section Of lh9 country.
The Editorial Departments of the Magazine
will present the same features as heretofore In
the Table viii 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 Old World,
the Record" will briefly chronicle events of 20
htical or historical Importance; the Literary No
tices" will furnish impartial clitiques upon the
leading books, as they issue fOm the press: the
Drawer" will, by favor of hundreds of contribu-
tors, continue to be the repository Of odd hume
rous, or pathetic anecdotes, sayings, and remnes-
cGnCe.
While the Magazine will still be mainly filed
with original papers upon American subjects, fur.
nshed 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 an Essay by Mac.
auley or Carlyle, Serial Novel by Bulwer Dick
ems, Thackeray, Reade. or Tale by Miss
Mulloch, Mrs. Gaskell or Wlkie Collins and
still furnish more original matter than any of its
contemporaries.
The series Of Illustrated Papers upon American
Scenery, Manners, and History will continue to
be 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 and pencil.
In making these selections from the mass of
matter continually placed in their hands, the
Editors will be influenced solely by their judg-
men OF the intrinsic merits of the articles, who'll
ly irrespective of their authorship. Contributions
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 az now; and they pledge themselves that
no effort or expense shall be spared to make the
Magazine worthy Of a continuance and increase
