THE GALAXY for 1871 promises greater at
fractions than heretofore. Que distinctive |
feature nf The Galaxy is, the bright sharp
way in which It is edit-d. Ever4 subject OF
popular interest is at once seized upon and !
written up by the most competent person. |
The Galaxy has gs4f fhered around itself a |
department., and It is clear that every num- |
Der with the same asuTlitY Of purpose and |
nice dlscernmenU OF the public taste, which !
chalracterlzes our most successful daily and |
weekly papers. It h s been the custom for |
magazines tO'furni-h the public with the |
best s. lection they could make from such |
tion. The day for this has past. and the /
editor of q first class magazine has a very
different duty to perform from reading /
manuscript, and culling out the best. He /
must create. He must map out the style of |
magazine he wishes to produce, and then /
sees onG. tne most cOmpetent persons to |
prepare articles upon subjects on which the |
public desire to read This important |
lfteral ure, The Galaxy was the first to dis
cern, if it did not itself create the change.
Among the attractions for the coming
year, The Galaxy has engaged Porte Crayon
to furnish "A series of sketches of life and
adventure, which will revive the old inter
est in his pictures of American scenes.
