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’ tention.
