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 white paper. 2. It is furnished to singl* subscribers at Tw Dollars per annum, in advance; and to clubs of six for Ten Dollars. DC?.
