HARPER'S MAGAZINE.
VOLUME XIX.

With the last Number, HARPER's NEW MONTH
IY MAGAZINE enters upon the Tenth Year of its
publication. Its general aims and objects, and
the manner in which they are cltried out, are
now so we'll known, that the Publishers think il
scarcely necessary to say that the Magazine is tie
organ of no party in Politics, of no sect in Relig-
iOn of no other clique in Liteia ure or Art IL
aims to meet the wants and express the seuti-
ments of the wise and good, the conservst alive and
patriotic, who form the mass of the citizens of 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; tie Foreign Bureau
will present the gossip and chat Of the Ola World;
the Record" will briefly chronicle events of DO
litcal or historical Importance; the Literary No
| tees will furnish impartial critques upon the
leading books as they issue fem the press: the
Drawer" will, by favor of hundreds of contribu-
tors, continue 10 be the repository Of odd hume
rous or pathetic anecdotes, sayings and remines~
cence.
While the Magazine will still be mairly filed
with original papers upon American subjects, fur
nishrd by American authors, the Publishers will
also procure from foreign sources such contribu-
tons may seem to them of special interest or
value. The Magazine, containing at lest one.
third more matter than any ether published in
the country, will be able to give an Essay by Mae
auley or Carlyle, Serial Novel by Bulwer, Dick
ems, Thackerav, Reade. or a Tale by Miss
Mulloch, Mrs. Gaskell, WiIkie 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 pencil.
Ia making these selections from the mass of
matter continually placed in their hands, the
Editors will be Influenced solely by their judg-
ment of the intrinsic merits of the articles whol>
ly irrespective of their authorship. Contributions
from entire strangers will receive the same con-
Slderaton as those from the most iitmate 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 fire. sh>
nes-; 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-
corresponding duties upon the Publishers
At DO former period have their facilities been
great now; aud they pledge themselves that
no effort or exp nse shall be spared to make the
