THE
CONTINENTAL MONTHLY

The readers Of the CONTINENTAL are aware of the
importan t'pOsition it has assumed, of the influence
which it exerts, and Of the brilliant array of polit j.
caland 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-class 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 q journal
is either a power in the land or it is nothing. That
the Continental is not the latter is abundantly
evidenced 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 more than a year has elapsed
since the Continental was first established, it has
during that time acquired a strength and q signi-
fcancs e~levnting it to q position far above that pre-
viOusly Occupied-a a streng tn and a political signif-
canoe e~levating 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
%tentiOn to the following facts:
1. OF its political articles republishcd in pamphlet
form, a single one has bad, thus 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 republished in book form, while the Arst por-
| JlOn oil q tnlru is already IN press.
No more conc lusive facts need be alledged to
prove the the excellence Of the contributions to the
Continental, or their extraordinary popula rity; and
its conductors are determined that it shall not fall
behind. Preserving all "the boldncss, vigor and
ability" which a Thousand journals have attributed
to 1t, 1t will greatly enlarge its circle of action, and
discuss, fearlessly and frankly. every principle in
uOlEedi id the great questions Of the day. The first
minds of the country embracing the men most
tsmillar with its diplomacy aud most distinguished
for ability, are among its contributors; and it is
no more ''hatteriDg prom Sc of a prospectus" to saw
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 viii express decided
opinions on the great gu estions of the day, it will
not be a mere political journal: much the larger
portion of its columns will be enlivened, as 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 atErac-
tons never before found in magazine.
