THE
g%aLqINENIAL lZ0IIHLY
THE

The readers Of the CONTINENTAL are aware Of the
importan { position it has assumed, of the influence
which it exerts, and of the brilliant arrayo ppliti-
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
and freedom of the daily newspaper with the high
er literary tone of the ~frst-cIass monthly: and it ii
very certain that no magazine has given wild er
range to its contributors; or preserved itself so com-
pletely from the narrow influences of party or of
faction. In times like the present, such a journal
is either a power in the land or it is nothing. That
the Continental is not tho latter is abundant,y
evsdenced by what it 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.
Though but little mora than year Las elapsed
since the Continental was first established. il has
during that time acquired a strength. ard a signi-
fcance ~elevnting it to 4 position far above that pre-
viousiy occupied n stEsng tn and a political sirnif-
canoe e~leyating it to a position far above that pre-
viously occupied hy opy puhlicatien7'of The kind in
America. In proof of which assertion we call at
tention to the following facts:
1. OF its poIical articles republishcd in pamphlet
form, a single one has had, .hus far, a circulation
of one hundred and six thousand copies.
2. 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 repuclished in book form, while the arst pJr-

No more conclusive facts need be alledged to
prove the the e~xcclls,.'e of the contributions to the
Continental, or their extraoiIinary popularity; and
its conductors are determined thai il shall not tall
behind. Preserving all "the boldness, vIgCr and
ability" which q Thousand iournals have attribntcu
TO it, it will greatly enlarge its circle Of action. and
discuss, fearlessly and frankly. every principle in
uolved id the great questions of the day. The first
minds Of the country embracing the men most
fsmiliar with its diplomacy and most listing shed
for ability, are among its contributors; and 1t IS
no more "Rattering promise of a prospectus" to say
that this "magozine for the tines 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, it Will
not be a mere political journal; much the larger
portion Of its columns VIII be cnlIYened, rs hereto
fore, by tales, poetry and humor. In word, the
Continental will be found, under its new staff Of
Editors, occupying a dOsitiOn and presenting atsac-
lions never before found in magazine,
