* EARLY COPIES!
By a late arrangement with the British Publishers
of Blackwood’s Magazine, early sheets of that work
will be forwarded to thi3 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.

PROS P E CTUS
OF
The Southern Literary Gazette
A WEEKLY JOURNAL, COMMENCED IN ATHENS, GEC
ON SATURDAY THE 13tH OF MAY.
EDITED BY WM. C. RICHARDS.
rpHERE is not, south of the Potomac, a single
X 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 effioris cannot be regarded by the intelligent
mind as an argument against such an attempt. Those
failures may have been, 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.
.The progress of the age, and the rapid advance of
the South in Commerce, Manufactures, and Internal
Improvements, imperatively demand a correspond
ing a<l\ ance in literature. To aid in this great ob
ject, he has established a Weeklv Journal at the seat
j of the University of Georgia and rallied around it
| the best writers of the South.
The 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
i * . p o, Jth. Ihe made up of matter both
! 11 * 1 a . r,e *ected ; and comprises Tales, Essays.
’ 1 Ar C - 68 i? Travel, Poetry, Criticisms, and a Gener
ul Miscellany of information in all departments of
Literature, Art and Science. Particular attention is
I g lven to Scientific and Practical Mechanics.
In Mechanical execution it is surpassed by no con
temporary, and the aid of the fine arts will not be
w anting to enhance its attractions. Portraits of South
; ern v 'T lt l ers > an< 3 pictures of Southern Life and Scene
ry will be presented.
The Editor confidently appeals to the friends of
Literature in the South; and lie is happy to announce
that his 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 his Journal, but it is given to the public with
tll^ n aaa, lT.y 0(,al assurance that it shall be permanent
TERMK. 1. The Southern Literary Ga
zei i E is published weekly, on a handsome imperial
quarto of 8 pages—printed from new type, on fine
white paper. J r
It is furnished to single subscribers at Two
Dollars per annum, m at/t’owrc; and to clubs of
six for Ten Dollars.
h r All communications, not containing remittances
or-solicited articles, must be post-paid to ensure at’
