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 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 TIIE 13ni 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. 4he failure of
previous efloris cannot be regarded by die intelligent
mind as an argument against such an attempt. Those
failures may have been, and probably were, the re
sult ol circumstances no longer existing The need
ot such an organ in our midst, is so universally ac
knowledged, that r.ot to attempt to supply the defi
ciency, would indicate a disregard of the signs of the
times scarcely more surprising than inexcusable.
Hie progress ol the age, and the rapid advance es
the South in Commerce, Manufactures, and Internal
Improvements, imperatively demand a correspond
ing advance in literature. To aid in this great ob
jec.t, lie lias established a Weekly Journal at the seat
ol the University of Georgia and rallied around it
the best writers of die South.
Hie Editor is assured of the support of his able
coadjutors in the Orion Magazine, and also of much
other assistance irom the most prominent writers ot
the South. Hie Gazette is made up of matter both
original and selected ; and comprises Tales, Essays,
>ielcu e ß°l 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 line arts will not be
wanting to enhance its attractions. Port’ dts of South
ern writers, and pictures of Southern Life and Scene
ry will be presented.
Hie Editor confidently appeals to the friends of
Literature in the South; and be is happy to announce
di.it Ins enterprise is of 110 doubtful issue. By pri
late effort a large and generous list has been obtain
ed, and upwards ol One Thousand Subscribers
have pledged tneir support to the paper. Until this
was accomplished, the editor was unwilliug to pub
lish ins Journal, but it is now given to the public with
the unequivocal assurance that it shall be permanent.
TERMS.— -1 . The Southern Literary Ga
