CONTINENTAL MONTHLY.

EDITORS

Hon. Fred. L. Stanton, Edmund kirkc.
The readers of the Continental are aware of
the important position it has assumed of the
influence which il cxcrts and of the brilliant
array of political and literary talent of the
highest order which supports it. No publica-
ton of the kind has, in this country, 30 sue
cessfully combined the energy and freedom
of the daily newspaper with the higher lit
erary tone of the first class monthly and
and it is very certain that no magazine has
guen wider range to its contributors, or
preserved itself so implicitly from the mar
row influences Of party or of faction. In
times like the present, such a journal is Ell
ther a power in the land or it is nothing. That
the Continental is not the latter is album
dainty evidenced By rhdt IL has doHe-by the
reflection of its counsels in many important
public events, and in the character and pow
er of those who are its staunchest support
ers.
BY the accession of Hon Robert j. Walk
er and Hon, i. Z. Stanton to its editorial
corps, the Continental acquires q strength
and political significance which, to those
who are aware of the ability and experience
of these gentlemen, must elevate il to q po-
sition far above any previously occupied by
any publication of the kind in America

ability" which a Thousand journals have at
tributed to it, it will at once greatly enlarge
its circle of action, and discuss fearlessly and
frankly, every principle involved in the great
questions of the day. The first minds of the
country, embracing men most familiar with
its diplomacy and most distinguished for
ability, are TO become its contributors and
it is no mere - flattering promise of pros
pectus +" to say, that this - magazine for the
ha ff.Itt al rf
erica, under auspices which no publication
ever enjoyed before in this country.
Charles Godfrey Leland, the accomplished
scholar and author, who has till now been
the sole editor of the magazine, will, besides
his editorial labors continue his brilliant con-
tribntions to its pages and Edmund Kirke,
author of Among the Pines" will contrib
ute to each issue, having already begun q
work on Southern Life and Society, which
will be found far more widely descriptive, and
in all respects superior to the first.
While the Continental will express decided
opinions on the great questions of the day, it
will not be mere political journal much
the larger portion of its columns will be enli.
vened, as heretofore. by tales, poetry, and
humor. In a word, the Continental will be
found, under its new staff of editors, occupy
ing position and presenting attractions ncvct
before found in a magazine
