EARLY COPIES!
Bv a late arrangement with the British Publisher?
of Blackwood’s Magazine, early sheets of that work
will be forwarded to this country, so as to insure the
receipt by American subscribers of the entire number
of the Re-print, before any portion of it can be made
use of by other American publishers. This will make
the work far more desirable than heretofore, and it is
hoped will lead to an increase of the sales sufficient to
justify the cost of the arrangement.

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
foster 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 efl’or s cannot be regarded by the intelligent
mind as an atgunient 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, lie 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 Gazette is made up of matter both
<iriginal anil 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.
Ihe Editor confidently appeals to the friends of
Literature in the South; and lie 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, hut it is now given to the public with
the unequivocal assurance that it shall be permanent.
TERMS. — 1. The Southern Literary Ga
zette is published weekly, on a handsome imperial
quarto of Spaces—printed from new type, on fine
white paper.
2. It is furnished to sinyls subscribers at Two
Dollars per annum, in advance; and to clubs of
six for Ten Dollars.
OT7 All communications, not containing remittances
or solicited articles, must be post-paid to ensure at
tention.
OCP Editors desiring an exchange will please copy
and notice this prospectus, and send their papers
