1\ wit]) tlir year 1820, it i. tlion^lit pmpet to
lav before SttWrihen and tiic public tlic plan
which I* proposed for the future.
This Journal, as the original subscriber* doubt-
less recollect, was ut first, and so long as it re
tained the Idle of “Select Review*’’Jjmited to
a selection from British Reviews and Magazines
of such article* as were most interesting in this
country. This plan w as united to the circum-
stance* of that period, the fort Pnl-o wns then
computed almost entirely of original matter, ami
conducted with ability; and the "Atheiixuin,"
now published at Boston, hud not appeared.—
The Hritiuh periodical publications were objects
of great intcres* and curiosity, and from them
was easily formed a magazine,* both useful and
entertaining.
The title was changed and original matter in
troduced when Mr. Washington Irving became
the editor, and the earliest volumes of the “. hi-
ufrette Magazine" were enriched with some of
the finest productions of that elegant and justly
favorite writer. Prom that time to the present,
every succeeding volume has contained much
original composition upon subjects of national
literature, biography ami hisiory, varying in
quantity, according to the occasions of its pro
duction, and accompanied with a selection, more
choice and sparing, from a much increased num
ber of foreign publications.
Considerable diversity of opinion has prevail
cd among the advisers of the successive Editors
a* to the duo proportion of original and selected
mutter, some urging the propriety of rendering
Hie Magazine purely original, and others rec
ommending the total exclusion of all hut sclcc-
, lions. The course pursued bus been a compro
mise between these two opinions.
A periodical Review, wholly original & truly
American, conducted with ability, and exten
sively patronized, is indubitably a desideratum in
our country. 'I'hc “North American Review,"
published quarterly at Host on, is the only work
which approaches this rlmiacter. And until
our rea<ling public arc more disposed than ut
present to encourage such ait enterprize, anoth
er cannot be attempted with any hope of such
success us would produce either lipuor or. profit
to the projectors.
The present Editor of tHe A nulcetic Magazine
s, however, desirous to render it as nearly tut
irigin.d Journal us public patronage will permit
and will} if circumstances -allow, gradually ex
clude all foreign aid from its pages.
'flic length of flie subscription list must, how
ever, determine quantity of original compo
sition that can he paid for, and it is obvious that
to depend on the casual contributions of gentle
men who write either for their amusement a-
lonc, or from friendship to the Editor, would he
a very inxccutfc dependence; although the Edi
tor gratefully acknowledges the many valuable
•omnmnications received, this year, from such
sources. Subscribers may however be assured
that no worthless original mattcrshuli be insert-
ed, merely because it is original, and no art id
shall ever he inserted as original which is not
truly so, as is too often done in some cotcmpu-
run Journals. Since therefore original compo
sition cannot he Imped for at once, of a sntistac
lory quality, and in quantity sufficient to fill all
the pages of the Magazine, no promise can at
present be made further than that as much shall
he procured as the patronage of the Journul
will allow.
The selected matter it is presumed, however
will he found of no little interest and value.—
The British journals have lately exhibited a ve
ry' silly animosity towards our institutions, but
trev still contain many very ingenius disquisi
tions, and much curious Information, which must
be interesting und useful to the American pub
lic. "Fas nt et nb hu»!t iloeeii" however much
we may blame their prejudice!, or contemn their
railing*, ne still may find our profit in making
their know .edge and the result of their industry
and research our own. The Quarterly and Edin
burgh Hei icus are republished and extensively
circulated in the U. States, perhaps therefore
selections from them may not be generally ad
visable, lekl the public should be tired by repe
tition. A ml on the other hand, the “Ladies’
.Monthly Museum," *’Aa /idle Assembler," and
son e other works of the same light character
are carefully eviscerated for that entertaining
miscellany the “Athenaeum.” Hut there are
many others, particularly the British Review,
British Urific, New Monthly Magazine, F.lectic
Review} l’anphleteer, European Magazine, A-
siutic Journal, Autijacobin, Blackwood’s Edin
burgh Maguzi;*.**, Constable’s Edinowrgh Maga
zine, Journal of Science and tbe Arts, &.C. &c.
supplying excellent and abundant matter for
selection and abstract. And besides all these,
the French Journals which are not at all intro
duced to Our reading public, either by republi
cation or extracts, form a much rich.*r mine of
information. The new work entitled “Itevue
Eneydopetlique” is full of excellent writing on
politics and literature. The "Journal ilei Sa
vant” "Minei'ir Francaitte,” and “Journal JJte-
vM/v-,” are also admirable in the exhibition of
talent and learning. Translations from these will
form z part of ovei'ii future number. And the
German periodical works will he made use of in
the same manner, though the difficulty of pro
curing a regular supply forbids any precise en
gagement as to the frequeny of .translations
from them.
Every number will contain, a monthly fist of
new publications, domestic and foreign, and, as
far as can be obtained, an epitome of the pro
ceedings of scientific and literal*) institutions, at
home und abroad.

The subscribers are sanguine in the hope,
that, in a few weeks, such patronage will be ob
tained as may enable them to commence busi
ness with s fair prospect of success. Should
their expectations be realized, the first number
of The RECORDER will appear earl) in next

who do not express an objection to patronize
the new establishment, will he considered ns
acquiescing in this arrangement, and shall have
the paper regularly sent to them.
Tliat newspapers are of public utility, will
not, by anv intelligent man, be denied. Every
citizen wfio wishes to he acquainted with pas
sing events—every one whose heart dilates at
the prosperity of his country, should be a sub
scriber to at least one newspaper? and small in
deed must be its value, if tbe amusement and
instruction it affimls are not more than equiva
lent tn the expense. The author of the imper
ishable Letters of Junius has told us. that Hie
press is the palladium of Liberty—the safe-
guard of ull our rights, civil, religious and po
litical. AW*, in his celebrated essays, has de
clared, “With all their faults upon their heads,
newspapers ure upon the whole the best bul
warks of our liberty, and the surest defence of
the helpless against the proud man’s contumely
ami the oppressor’s wrong. They sound the
alarm bell throughout an empire, and no influ
ence is great enough to slifle the sound, before
the people examine into its cause.”
The RECORDER ahull be an independent pa
per, and our sfrenudus efforts will be used to
make it a respectable and useful one. To serve
unv individual or party, Truth and Justice will
ttol be sacrificed.

THE author of the Map being desirous of ma

proved it from time to time, so as it might pre

state. The Mississippi territort has been divi
ded and converted into two states; two new ter
ritories and five laud offices, have been formed
beyond the Mississippi river, and several very
important surveys have been made between
Lake Erie and the Mississippi, presenting an
entirely new view of that interesting section of
the country.
'File northern boundary between this country
and the British (possession has been formally
agreed upon, as far us the Rock) mountains, and
the British ami United States governments have
come fo a definite understandings* to the north
west coast.
But the most important measure, is the treaty
ceding Florida to the United States, ami agree
ing upon a boundary line between this country
ami tlie Spanish internal provinces. This new
line has been exhibited on. the Map for some
time; but, the treaty not being ratified by Spain,
the old boundary will also be shew n on the Map,
from the outlet of the Rio del Norte on the Gulf
of Mexico, to the outlet of the River St. Francis
on tiie Pacific ocean. This will present a con
nected view of the territory between the two
lines, and it will probably be of importance
hereafter to show both lines on the Map, whe
ther the treaty be eventually ratified or not.
No other change of any consequence being
anticipated, that Map will now assume a more
permanent form than heretofore; and it being
the only complete Map of the United States,
and showing also its relations with other coun
tries, it is believed of great importance thut this
new edition have a large circulation; with that
view tlie price has been made very moderate,
not being above two-thirds of tlie usual price of
such works.
The author being of opinion that very impor
tant new relations are about to take place be-
tween the United-States and other parts of tlie
world, particularly Mexico, Soutli-Aiqerica, and
the West-Indies, has improved his Map and De
scription of the World, and Map and Descrip
tion of the United-States, so as to embrace
view of these relations. The improvements in
the Map and Description of the World will be
notified in the prospectus of that work- The
principal improvements on the Map of tlie Uni
ted States are as follow:
An udditipn, consisting of an entirely new*
view of the whole of Mexico and Yucatan, to
gether with the islands of Cuba, Jamaica, St.
Domingo, I'orto-Rlco, Santa-Cruz, Tortola, and
other West-lndiw islands. The Supplement is
enlarged so as to show at a glance the whole of
the I Test-Indies, together with the northern
provinces of South-.imerica, J’anumu, and the
Isthmus of Darien. The position of the Statis
tical Table is so altered as to afford a distinct
view of the Gulf of Mexico, and the intimate
relation between the countries bordering upon
it and tlie United States; and the table is en
larged so os to include a view of ull the coun
tries recently added to the Map, with a blank
column for the next census, which, when filled
up with a pen, will show* the 'progressive geo-
granUy of the country.

larly as regards Mexico, the I - est-hulies, and

it is presumed that a more acceptable work
cannot he presented to the American commu
nity, or to such of the citizens of other countries
as arc desirous of becoming intimately acquaint
ed with this part of the western world.
A high degree of importance has been stamp
ed upon tlie Map by tlie references made to it
in the late negotiation with Spain; which cir
cumstance ha* led to the present exertions to
improve it to the utmost, and every exertion
shall be used to render the Map and Descrip

t’d States and contiguous countries, he is ena
bled at the same time to issue a new and im
proved edition of the Map ot the World.
Flie value and importance.of this work is al
ready well known. It has stood the test of cri
ticism, and has received the approbation of some
of the best Geographers in tne country To

and execution would be superfluous. 'Flie au
thor shall only glance at present at the improve
ments made in this new Edition.

3d. An entire new view of Baffin’s Bay and
Davis’s Straits is presented, agreeably to the
surveys of Captain Rosa.
4th the description has been corrected and
improved so a* to correspond with the Map; and
in this new edition an Appendix is added, giv
ing a view of the political and commercial rela-
tions of the World, particularly as regards the
United States; an Alphabetical Index is also ad
ded, which is of great value to the work as a
hook of reference; giving it the advantage of a
Gazetteer.
The Map and Description, tints improved,
will be a companion to tlie Map and Descrip
tion of the United States; the two works form

other tint *, an honest and well conducted Jour

if every man called to net in a high and respon
sible capacity, was rendered immaculate the mo
ment he was enshrouded in the mantle of office:
or as if, when a public seal was once placed in
tlie hand, its holder could no longer do a -wrong*.
That this is a most alarming feature in a Re
publican form of government, every candid man
must admit. Some .Journal*, it is true, havf
endeavored to rouse the people from this dan
gerous repose, and to point out a few of the
many mournful examples on record, of nations
slumbering until their liberties have fallen a sa
crifice to tlieir apathy; but the number of such
journals for the last two or three years has been
very limited, and more recently, so many of the
ferJ have apostatised, that scarcely half a dozen
remain in the whole United States, that are not
iniliscriminnte applauders of the executive branch,
of the government. The great impregnable
fortress of a repubBfc is the active jealousy of'
her citizens; that forms the grand tower which .
neither strength nor art can sup.— Too much
confidence invariably begets a degree of secu
rity, when long indulged, may lead to the most
fatal consequences. Let us therefore be cau
tious, lest in our over strained zeal for reconci
liation, and the extinction of party, we do not:.
put out the light of Liberty forever from among
us. Religion,the great pillar which upholds*
our morafinstilutions, must have its importance
continually impressed on our minds, or its di
vine precepts would recede from us, and pro
bably be obliterated forever:—so is it with that
sacred inheritance, LiHKim*, bequeathed to us
by our fathers, and atchieVed with their blood, ’
the flame of which has hitherto burned so
bright on our altars—it lives only by constant dis
cussion, and how is that discussion to be kept
alive, if the whole mass of public opinion is
suffered to run together, like a heap of molten
lead, into one dull and shapeless mould? The
Editor therefore thinks, that it will not only be
politic, but absolutely necessary to add another
watchman, if it be merely to rattle at the win
dows and cry "Awoke, awake, all is not safe.”
'Flie Editor would not have the public infer
from tlie foregoing, that he is anxious to revive
party rancor, and all the feuds, private animosi
ties and jealousies, which have hitherto been
attached to it*—he conceives that as much to be
deprecated on the one hand, as the total absence
(Apolitical spirit is to be lamented on the other.
Neither would he have his friends imply, that
because he is desirous of encouraging a full in
vestigation of our national affairs, he is to un

operate for the welfare of his country, and that.
w hich lie thinks wrong, unhesitatingly and un
equivocally to condemn. In thus promoting an
examination intg the conduct of those who horn-
pose our cabinet, the Editor thinks he would
benefit, rather than injure them, by stimulating
them if they be careless, exciting them if they
be lethargic, awakening them to a full sense of
their responsibility, and culling the great majo
rity of the people tn be witnesses, arbiters and

need the salutary eye of vigilance and inquiry.
