THE
"C0gTL.IsTAL JI0sTHLY

Tho readers Of the CONTINENTAL are aware of the
important position it has assumed, of the influence
which II eXerts, and Of the brilliant arrav Of polit i
cal and literary talent of the highest order which
supports it. No publication Of the kind has, in
this country, so successfully combined the energy
am freedom Of the daily newspaper with the high
or literary tone Of tho frst-clasS monthly; and It ii
very certain that no magazine has given wid or
range 10 lis contributors; or preserved itself so com
pietciy from the narrow influences Of party or Of
faction. IN times like the present, such d journal
is either p power in the land or il is nothing. That
the Continental IS not the latter Is abundantiy
ovSdenced by what It has donc-by the reflection Of
It's couuselS IL many important public events, aad
in the character and power Of those who aTelts
staunchest supporters.
Though bat little mora than a year has elapsed
since the Continental was first established, it has
during that time acquired a strength and q sigui-
foanCe e~levnting it to d position far above that pre-
viousIy occupied a stren5 tn and a political signif-
canoe elevating it to a position far above that pre-
viOusly occupied by ony publicatien"of the kind in
America. In proof of which assertion we call at
t%cntion to the following facts:
/. OF its Poiical articles republishcd in pamphlet
form, a single one hes had, thus far, a circulation
of one hundred and six thousand copies.
2. From its literary department, a single serial
novel. "Am0ng the Pines" hos, within a very few
months, sold nearly thirty-fve thousand copies
Two other series of its literary articles have also
been republshed in book form, while the first pyr-
ton of third is already in press.
No more conclusive facts need be alledged to
prove the the excellence Of the contributions to the
Continental, or their extraordinary popularity: and
its conductors are determined that it shall not fail
behind. Preserving all "the boldncss, vigor and
ability" which a Thousand journals have attributed
to il, it will greatly enlarge its circle Of action. and
discuss, feaTlessly and frankly. every principle in
uolved id the great questions Of the day. The first
minds Of the country embracing the men most
familiar with its diplomacy and most distinguished
for ability, are among its contributors: and it is
no more "tattering promise of a prospectus TO say
that this "mag0zine for the times" will employ the
the first intellect in America, under auspices which
no publication ever enjoyed before in this country.
While the Continental will express decided
opinions on. the great questions Of the day, 1t will
not be n mere political journal: much the larger
portion Of its columns will be eDlivened, as hereto
fore, by tales, poetry and hUmor. In a word, the
Continental viii be found, under its new staff Of
Editors, occupying a dosition and presenting atuac-
lions never before found in magazine.
