MONTHLY

The readers Of the CONTINENTAL are aware Of the
important t position it has assumed, Of the influence
which it exerts, and Of the brilliant array Of pOliti l.
caland literary talent Of the highest order which
supports it. No publication Of tho kind has, in
this country, so successfully combined the energy
and freedom Of the daily newspaper with the high
er literary tone Of the hrst-elass mOnthly5 and it ii
very certain that no magazine has given wider
range to its contributors; or preserved itself so com
nletefy from the maroon in1nenceso of party or Of
faction. In times like the present, such R%journal
Is either a power in theland or it IS nothing. That
the Continental is net the latter @is abpndantIy
evsdenced BY what it has done-by the reelection Of
its counseIs in many Important public events and
in the character and power Of those who are its
statnchest supporters.
Though but little more than q year bas elapsed
since the Continental was first established, ii has

fcance elevnting it to q position far above that pre-
Yiously occupied 4 stFeng tn and q political signiG-
eapee elevatingit to a position far above that pre-
! violsly occupied by ony publicatienfof the kind IN
America. In proof of which assertion We call at

to it, it win greatly enlarge its circle of action, and
