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. ~.
