prospectus
OF THE
SOUTHERN REVIEW.
be published at Washington, quarterly, in art .
Jl Bvo No. 0f275 to 300 pages, price $5 per an
num, payable in advance. The place is chosen, not
only for its facilities of information, literary and politi*
cal, but as that at which tho Southern States can bo
united upon the undertaking, with the greatest ease,
and with the completes! exemption from all State or
Party jealousies.
Ofthe matter, thrce.fourths (say 225’pp.) shall con
sist of regular Reviews, making about 9 of 25 pp. each.
These must, as literary works at least, return as age.
neral rule, somewhat towards that older method, now
almost forgotten, and give a regular analysis of tho
book reviewed, if itbeof any merit. In Politics and
upon Occasional Topics, there maybe a greater liber,
ty of deviating into mere disquisition.
In this portion of the Review, there will bo given,
in each No. a paper historical ofthe Politics and gon.
eral events of the day; to serve as a Historical Regis
ter. Its execution will always be committed to the
strongest hands only; and its purpose, to give a unity
and consistency to the Public Doctrines of the Review
such as can scarcely be so well effected in any other
matter.
Occasional Retrospective Reviews will also be cm.
bodied in this part of the plan, with a view of favoring
in a certain degree, the more curious studies; or to re.
vive the knowledge of important books, forgotten in the
confusion of modern learning.
Writers will be led, of regular purpose to give their
papers, wherever the subject will permit, the form •of
a service; in order not only that they may thus afford
a completer body of information, serve, also, to reprint
apart, for popular circulation; a method that will much
augment both the reputation and usefulness ofthe Re.
view.
A body of Miscellanies (say some 50 pp.) will form
the subordiuare'and more amusing part of the Journal.
Its contents will be somewhat various; but will, for the
most pan, consist of short L'tcrary Notices; Biblio.
graphical Articles; a critical list of New Publications,
foreign and domestic, and general Literary Intelli
gence.
In Communications, the most compressed n?ode of
writing will be every where required. Papers in
which the works do not bear a just proportion to the
information conveyed or the effect intended, will ba
either rejected, without scruple, or abridged, without
mercy
To warrant this exaction, the usual rate of compem
sation to writers will be advanced to 2 1.2 dollars per
printed page; a price that will offer fair remuneration
to tho talents and labor which we wish to secure.
Os this revival of a Review qf the South, the pur.
pose is. to give once more to our region, (now emin*
cntly needing it) an Interpreter and a defender ; the
common Representative of our Institutions, aud of the
Mind itself among us. Such in that great Congress
of Opinion, where the fates of civilized nations arc now
so largely settled, we do not possess and we have al.
ready suffered much for it. It is time to make ottr.
selves understood and respected there. The Journal
which shall du this, must combine the general strench
of all who, throughout the South, love the country,
and are capable of doing it intcllected service. It must
then bo, not the Champion or the propagandist of lo
cal opinion’, but the friend of all that pursue the pub.
lie good. Into the vulgar methods of Politics, debas
ed by Partizan rancour, or corrupted by the interest,
or overborne by the popular passion of the In.ur, it must
not fall—From it, the pride of the Nuiltfier must re
ceive no diminution, tho fidelity ofthe Unionists no
reproach : It must be no vantage ground to either part,
nor serve but as an equal field, where they will only
contend which shall most advance the cause of the
