A WEEKLY PAPER,
Dcroted TO Literature, Science and Ar.
j

The Publishing House by which the present
Journal is issued has been extensively engaged
for nearly half a century, in the work of bro
noting general education, and difusinp infor-
nation among the people Of the United States
through the medium Of valuable books, in all
the leading departments of knowledge. In
further pursuance of this important object.
and recognizing the increasing tendency Of
the public to cultivate the periodical form of
literature, the publishers have engaged in the
enterprise of a Weekly Journal. which they
design to make worthy of the liberal patron-
age Of the reading community.
Omitting ordinary news, and avoiding par
tisan advocacy, both political and sectarian.
the JOURNAL will be devoted to general liter
ature, to science, art, and education, and to
the diffusion of valuable information upon
subjects of public Importance. It is intended
to make use OF all resources, o. iginal and sell
ected, domestic and foreign, which can give
interest and variety to its pages; and neither
e%xertion nor expense will be spared to secure
the aid of the best talent of the time. We alb
stain from the large professions and the parade
OF conspicuous names so common on these
and, trusting to the intelligence Of
the people, shall be content TO let the Journal
speak for itself.
