THE KNICKERB0CKER
FOR 1862.

In the beginning of the last year when its pres
ent proprieIors assumed control of the knicker-
booker, they announced their determination 10
spare no pains To place it in its true position as
the leading literary Monthly in America. When
rebellion had raised a successful front, and
threatened the existence of the Republic, il was
impossible to permit magazine, which in its
circulation reached the best intelects in the land,
to remain insensible, or Indifferent to the dangers
which threaten the Union. The proprietors ac-
cordingly gave notice, that it would present in
its pages forcbe expositions with regard 10 the
great question of the times,-how TO preserve the
United States Of America in their integrity and
unity. How far this pledge has been redeemed
the public must judge. 1t would, however, be
atfectalion to ignore the seal of appreciation
which has been placed on these efforts. 1he pro-
prietors gratefully acknowledge this, and it has
led them to embark in fresh undertaking, as al
ready announced, the publication OF the Con-
tinential Monthly, devoted 10 i.lveiatue and
National Policy; in which magazine, those " no
have sympathzed with the political opinions re-
Gently set forth in the KNICKERBoCRER, will find
the same views more fully enforced and main
tanned by the ablest and most energetic minds in
America.
Z The KNICKERBoCKER, while it will continue
firmly pledged 10 the cause OF the Union, will
henceiofth be more earnestly deyoted to literature
and will leave no effort unified TO attain the
highest excellence in those depa tments OF letters
which il has adopted as specialties
