THE
CONTINENTAL MONTHLY

The readers Of she CONTINENTAL are aware of the
imPortsnt'positiOn il has assumed, of the influence
v .ich it exerts, and Of the brilliant array of polit j.
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 f~rst-olass monthly; and it ii
very certain that no magazine has given wild or
range to its contributors; or preserved isselfs so COM
pletely from the narrow Influences of party or of
faction. In times like the present, such a Journal
is either = power in the land or it is nothing. That
the Continental is not the latter lis abundantly
evsdenced by what il 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 it'll more than a year has elapsed
since the Continental was first established, it has
during that time acquired a strength and a sigui-
hcance %elevnting it to q position far above that pre-
viously occupied a strenE tn and a political signi6-
canoe elevating it to a position far above that pre-
Viousiy occupied By ony publicatiencof the kind in
America. In proof of which assertion we call at
tention to the following facts;
l. Of its political articles republishcd / 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 por-
ton of q third 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 -ity; and
lite conduct ,rs are determined that it shall not fall
behind. Preserving all "the boldness, vigor and
ability" which a Thousand Journals have attributed
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
mindso the country embracing the men most
familiar with its diplomacy and most distinguished
for ability, are among its contributors; and it is
no more "hattering promise of a prospectus" to say
that this ''magozine for the times" 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 It's columns will be enlivened, as hereto
fore, by tales, poetry and humor. Ina word, the
Continental will be found, under its new staff Of
Editors, occupying a dosition and presenting atErac-
tions never before found in magazine.
