PROSPECTUS OF THE SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE, A WEEKLY JOURNAL, COMMENCED IN ATHENS, GEO. ON SATURDAY’ THE 13TH OF MAY. EDITED BY WM. C. RICHARDS. THERE is not, south of the Potomac, a single journal whose sole object is to develope and fo3ter literary taste and talent in the South ; and this fact is certainly a sufficient reason for an earnest at tempt to establish such a journal. The failure of previous effor s cannot be regarded by the intelligent mind as an argument against such an attempt. Those failures may have been, and probably were, the re sult of circumstances no longer existing The need of such an organ in our midst, is so universally ac knowledged, that not to attempt to supply the defi ciency, would indicate a disregard of the signs of the times scarcely more surprising than inexcusable. The progress of the age, and the rapid advance of the South in Commerce, Manufactures, and Internal Improvements, imperatively demand a correspond ing advance in literature. To aid in this great ob ject. he has established a Weekly Journal at the seat of the University of Georgia and rallied around it the best writers of the South. The Editor is assured of the support of his able coadjutors in the Orion Magazine, and also of much other assistance from the most prominent writers of the South. The Gazf.tte is made up of matter both original and selected ; and comprises Tales, Essays, Sketches of Travel, Poetry, Criticisms, and a Gener al Miscellany of information in all departments of Literature, Art and Science. Particular attention is given to Scientific and Practical Mechanics. In Mechanical execution it is surpassed by no con temporary, and the aid of the fine arts will not be wanting to enhance its attractions. Portraits of South ern writers, and pictures of Southern Life and Scene ry will be presented. The Editor confidently appeals to the friends of Literature in the South; and he is happy to announce that his enterprise is of uo doubtful issue. By pri vate effort a large and generous list has been obtain ed, and upwards of One Thousand Subscribers have pledged their support to the paper. Until this was accomplished, the editor was unwilling to pub lish his Journal, but it is now given to the public with the unequivocal assurance that it shall be permanent. TERMS.—I. The Southern Literary Ga zette is published weekly, on a handsome imperial quarto of Bpa^es—printed from new type, on fme white paper. 2. It is furnished to single subscribers at Two Dollars per annum, in advance; and to clubs of six for Ten Dollars.
