THE ATLANTIC MoNTHLY.-The thirteenth
volume of this American periodical begins
with the January number Steadily increas-
ing in popularity, since its present Publish
ers, MesSrs. Ticknor & Fields, assumed its
management, it has now a circulation greater
than that ever reached by any American
Magazine Of its class, andnumbers among its
contributors such names as Longtellew, Haw-
thorne, Emerson, Bryant, Agassiz, Holmes,
Lowell, Harriet Beecher. Stowe, and others
scarcely less eminent. its stereotyped vel
umes are a valuable repository of original
papers on great variety of subjects, and its
monthly issues have genuine freshness and
fitness to the hour. If it is a good test, as it
certainly is, Of the standing of magazine
that it attracts and introduces new writers,
the names of HigginsoD, of Gail Hamilton,
and of the lamented Winthrop are evidence
enough Of what the Atlantic has thus accom-
plished. Nor can better proof be given of
the popular estimation IN which it is held
than the demand for publication in sepa
rate volumes of many of the serial papers
that first appeared in its pages, such as 'The
Autocrat," "Elsie Venner," Agassiz' methods
of study in Natural History" "The Minister'S
Wooing" "Life in the Open Air." "Agnes of
Sorrento" "Out. Door Papers, Thoreau's
Excursions" Whittiers "In War Time"
and others.
As among the chiefest merits of the Allan
tic, also, let US not forget that it has honestly
held and freely declared its own opinions, on
other than literary questions, and that while
it has won for itself in literature position
which no other American Magazine has
reached, it has consistently spoken true words
for Liberty and Progress. In the present
crisis through which the country is passing,
every intelligent American should know what
influences such minds as those of the con-
tributors to the Atlantic are exerting upon
the progress Of humanity.
