wood’s Magazine being an exact sac simile of the
Edinburgh edition.
The prices of the re-prints arc less than one-third
of those of the foreign copies, and, while they are
equally well got up, they afford all that advantage to
the American over the English reader.

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 by American subscribers of the entire number
of the Re-print, before any portion of it can he 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 tc
justify the cost of the arrangement.

PRO SP E CTUS
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 efForis cannot be regarded by the intelligent
mind as an argument against such an attempt. Those
failures may have t een, 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.
Tlie progress of the age, and the rapid advance of
the South in Commerce, Manufactures, and Internal
lmpro\ements, 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.
1 lie 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. T lie Gazette is made up of matter both
original and selected ; and comprises Tales, Essays,
i aV• ieS i?* rave l’ P°etry, 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 he
wanting to enhance its attractions. Portraits of Soutb
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 Ins 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 bis Journal, but it is now given to the public with
the unequivocal assurance that it shall be permanent.
TERMS.—]. The Southern Literary Ga
zette is published weekly, on a handsome imperial
quarto of 8 pages—printed from new type, on fine
