THE Continental Monthly 81
Edi,ors:

HON. ROBERT j. WALKER, cHAs. q. LELAND,
HON. FRED. p STANTON, EDMUND KIRKE.
The readers Of the Continental are aware of
the important position it has assumed, OF the
influence which il exerts, 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, so sue
cessfully combined the energy and freedom of
the daily newspaper with the higher literary
tone of the irst-class monthly and il is very
certain that no magazine has given wider range
to its contributors, or preserved itself so com
pletely from the narrow influence of partyior
faction. In times like the present, such a
journal is either power in the land or 1t is
nothing. That the CONTINENTAL is not the
latter is abnndntly evidenced By pctat IL has
done-by the reflection of its counsels in many
important public events, and in the character
and power of those who are its staunchest
supporters. gVt
BY the accession of Hon. Robert J. Walker
and Hon. Il. p. Stanton to its editorial corps.
the Continental acquires strength and a po-
litical Significance which, to those who are
aware OF the ability and experience of these
gentlemen, must elevate it to n position far
above any previously occupied by any publ
cation of the kind in America. Preserving
all " the boldness, vigor, and ability" which a
thousand journals have attributed to il; il will
at once greatly enlarge its circle of action,
and discuss, fearlessly and frankly, every prin-
ciple involved in the great questions of the
day. The first minds of the country, embrac-
ing men most familiar with its diplomacy and
most distin yuished for ability, are to become
its contributors; and it is no mere &" flatter-
ing promise of prospectus" to say, that this
magazine for the times9 will employ the
first intellect in America, under auspices which
no publication ever enjoyed before in this
country
Charles Godfrey I.eland, the accomplished
scholar md author, who has till now been the
sole Editor of the Magazine, will, beside his
editorial labors continue his brilliant contri-
buttons to its pages; and Edmund Kirke, au-
thor of Among the Pines" will contribute
to each issue, having already begun 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, il
will not be mere political journal, much the
larger portion Of its columns win be enliven.

NOR In word, the Continental will be
ing a position and presenting attractions never
before found in magazine
