RICHARDS & CO. - - - PROSPECTUS OF The Southern Literary Gazette A WEEKLY JOURNAL, COMMENCED IN ATHENS, GEO ON SATURDAY THE 13TH OF MAY. EDITED BY WM. CL RICHARDS. THERE is not, south of the Potomac, a single Journal whose sole object is to develope aim foster literary taste and talent in the South ; and thit fact is certainly a sufficient reason for an earnest at tempt to establish such a journal. The failure of previous effoi'iS cannot be regarded by the intelligen’ mind as an argument against such an attempt. Those failures may have been, and probably were, the re suit ol circumstances no longer existing The need of such an organ in our midst, is so universally at knowledged, that not to attempt to supply the def 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 cf the South in Commerce, Manufactures, and Interna! Improvements, imperatively demand a correspond ing advance in literature. To aid in this great ob ject,he has established a Weekly Journal at the sea : ol the University of Georgia and rallied around i; 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 ot the South. The Gazette is made up of matter boti original and selected ; and comprises Tales, Essays. Sketches of Travel, Poetry, Criticisms, and a Gener al Miscellany ot information in all departments o! 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 be wanting to enhance its attractions. Portraits of South erti writers, and pictures of Southern Life and Scene ry will he presented. The Editor confidently appeals to the friends o Literature in the South; and he is happy to amount* that his enterprise is of uo doubtful issue. By pr vate effort a large and generous list has been obtain ed, and upwards of One Thousand Subscriber have pledged their support to the paper. Until tbit was accomplished, the editor was unwilling to pub lisli his Journal, but it is now given to the public with the unequivocal assurance that it shall be permanent- TERMS.—I. The Southern Literary Ga zf. ire is published weekly, on a handsome imperia quarto of 8 pages—printed from new type, on fin e white paper. 2. It is furnished to single subscribers at T"'u Dollars per annum, m advance; and to clubs six for Ten Dollars.
