EARLY COPIES!
By a late arrangement with the British Publishers
of Blackwood’s Magazine, early sheets of that work
will be forwarded to this country, so as to insure the
receipt bv American subscribers of the entire number
of the R e-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 loTH 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 eflor s cannot be regarded by the intelligent
mind as an argument against such an attempt. Those
failures may have I etui, 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
j 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 treat ob
ject, he has established a Weekly Journal at the seat
of die University ol Georgia and rallied around it
the best writers of the South.
I lie Editor is assured of the support of his able
coadjutors in the Orion Magazine, and also of much
1 other assistance from the most prominent writers of
the South. Tne Gazettels 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 ot
Literature, Art and Science. Particular attention is
given to Scientific and Practical Mechanics.
In Mechanical execut on 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.
4 ne Editor confidently appeals to the friends ot
Literature in the South; and lie is happy to announce
that his enterprise is ot uo doubtful issue. By p 1” 1 ’
\ ate effort a large and generous list has been obtain
ed, and upwards of One Thousand Subscribes
have pledged their support to die paper. Until this
vvas accomplished, the editor was unwilling to pub‘
lisli his Journal, but it is now given to the public wit-' 1
the unequivocal assurance that it shall be permanent.
TERMS.—I. The Southern Literary Ga
zette is published weekly, on a handsome imped 8 *
quarto of Spaces—printed from new type, on tb* e
white paper.
~. It is furnished to singls subscribers at
Dollars per annum, in advance; and to clubs <> !
