PROSPECTUS OF The Southern Literary Gazette A WEEKLY JOURNAL, COMMENCED IN ATHENS, GEo. ON SATURDAY THE 13THOF 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 tlii fact is certainly a sufficient reason for an earnest at tempt to establish such a journal. The failure ot previous eflor s cannot be regarded by the intelligent mind as an argument against such an attempt. Thost failures may have been, and probably were, the r< suit of circumstances no longer existii g The need of such an organ in our midst, is so universally ac knowledged, that not to atten pt to supply the defi ciency, would indicate a disregard of ts e signs of tla times scarcely more surprising than inext usal le. The progress of the age, and the rapid advance of the South in Commerce, M anu I armies, and Interna, improvements, imperatively demand a correspond ing advance in literature. To aid in tlrs great ob ject. he has established a Weekly Journal at ihe sea. of the T Diversity ol Georgia and rallied around ir the best wri'ers of the South. fiie Editor is assured of il e support of his abb coadjutors in the Orion Magazine, and also of much other assistance from ti e most prominent writers ot the South. 1 lie G azftt eis made up of matter both original and selected ; and comprises Tales, Essays Sketches of 1 ravel, Poetry, Criticisms, and a Genet al Miscellany of information in all departments of Literature, .Art and Science. Particular attention i~ given to Scientific and Practical Mechanics. In Mechanical execution it is surpassed by no cw temporary, and the aid of the fine arts will not b r wanting to enhance its attractions. Portraits of Solid: oin writers, and pictures of Southern Life and Scene ry will be presented. The Editor confidently appeals to tlie friends t Literature in the South; and he is happy to announce that his enterprise is of uo doubtful issue. By pri vase effort a large and generous list has been obtaii ed, and upwards of One Thousand Subscribers have pledged, their support to the paper. Until thi> was accomplished, tlie editor was unwilling to pub lish his Journal, but it is now given to the pul lie with tin l unequivocal assurance thai if shall be permanent IERMS.— l. The Southern Literary Ga ze its, is published weekly, on a handsome imperial quarto of Bpajes—printed from new type, on fine white paper. J. It is furnished to singD subscribers at Two Dollars per annum, m advance; and to clubs a! six for Ten Dollars.
