THE
THE
Il0.lILY

The readers Of the CONTINENTAL are aware Of the
important position il has assumed, OF toe influence
which it Cxcrto, ard Of the brilliant array OF poiiti /
cal nud literary talent Of the highest order which
supports it. No publication OF the kind has, in
thIs country, so successfully combined the energy
and freedom Of the daily newspaper with the nigh
er literary tone of the frst-ciass monthly; and IL ii
very certain that no magazine has given wider
range to its contributors; or preserved Itself so con
pletely from the narrow influences Of ndrty or If
faction. In times like the present, srch n journtl
Is either a power in the land OF it is nothing. That
the Continental is not the latter is ahundai1lH
evsdenced by what it. has dena-bv he reflection d
its counsels in many important public events, AMI
in the character and POI sr Of tdose who are i'll
staunchest supporters.
Though bat little more than q year has ELAPSED
since the Continental was first established. it hat
during that Ome acquired r strength and a signi-
fcance e~leVntipg 1t to u position Tar above that pre-
viuusly occupied a streIs tn aud a political signii-
cance e~levatng it 10 q position far above that pre-
yiously occupied by Ony publicaticn'.o the kind IN
America. In proof Of which assertion We call at
tention to the following facts:
l. vi its political articles repuhiishcd in pamphlet
form, a single one has had thus far, a circulation
Of one hundred and six thousand copies.
z. From its literary department, a single serial
novel. "Among the Pines" hos, within a very few
months, sold nearly thirty-fve thousand copies =
Two other series of its literary articles have also
been republished in book form, while the arst Dor
ton Of a third is already in press.
No more conclusive facts need be aIledsed to
prove the the excellence Of the contributions to the
Continental, or their extraordinary popularity: and
is conductors are determined that it shall not fall
behind. Preserving all "the boldness, vigor and
ability" which a Thousand journals have attributed
to 1T, 1T will greatly enlarge its circle of action, and
discuss, fesrlessly and frankly. every ~princlple in
uOlved i'd the great questions of the day. The first
minds Of the country embracing the men most
familiar with rs Il 1plOnuav ard unr J..As---.l-J
for ability, are among its contributors; and it is
no more "hattering promise Of q prospectus to say
that this "magozlne for the times" will employ the
the first i1tellect 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, it will
not be a mere political journal: much the larger
portion of It's columss viii be enlivened, as hereto
fore, by tales, poetry and humor, In a word. the
Continental will be found, under its new staff of
Editors, occupying a dosition and presenting atIrac-
tions never before found in magasine.
