OF THE
IJR i’ni'y
TBMiIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly'
X to Literature, but occasionally finding
room also for articles that fall within the scope of
Science; and not professing an entire disdain of
tasteful selections, though its matter has been, as
it will continue to be, in the main, original.
Tarty Tolilics, and controversial Theology, as
far as possible, are jealously excluded. Tlie.y are
sometimes so blended with discussions in litera
ture or in moral science, otherwise unobjection
able, as to gain admittance for the sake of the
more valuable matter to which they adhere: but
whenever that happens they are incidental, only;
not primary. They are dross, tolerated only be
cause it cannot well be severed from the sterling
ore wherewith it is incorporated.
Reviews and Critical Notices, occupy llieir
due space in the work: and it is the Editor’s aim
that they shoub 1 have a threefold tendency—to
convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths
or interesting incidents as are embodied in the
works reviewed, —to direct the readers attention
to books that deserve to be read—and to warn
him against wasting time and money upon that
large number, which merit only to be burned. In
this age of publications that by their variety and
multitude, distract and overwhelm!! every undis
criminating student, impartial criticism, gov
erned by the views just mentioned, is one of the
most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries
to him who does wish to discriminate.
Essays and Tales, having in view utility or a
musement, or both—Historical sketches—and
Rf.minisences of events too minute for History,
yet elucidating it, and heiglitning its interest
may be regarded as forming th« staple of the
work. And of indigenous Poetry, enough is
published—sometimes of no mean strain—to man
ifest an 1 to cultivate the growing poetical taste
and talents of our country.
'1 he times appear, for several reasous, to de
mand such a work—and not one alone, but many.
The public mind is feverish and Irritated still,
from recent political strifes: The soft, assuasive
influence of Literature is needed, to allay that
fever, and soothe that irritation. A'ice and folly
are rioting abroad: —They should be driven by
indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into their
fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an im
mense proportion of our people :—Every spring
should be set in motion, to arouse the enlighten
ed, and to increase their number; so that the
great enemy of popular government may n« lon
ger brood, like a portentous cloud, over the des
tinies of our country. Vnd to accomplish all
these ends, wliat more powerful agent'can be em
ployed, than a periodical on the plan of the Mes
senger; if that plan be but carried out in prac
tice ?
f I he South peculiarly requires such an agent.
111 all the ( nion, south of AVasliiugton, there are
but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that
city, there are probably at least tw ity-five or
thirty ! I this contrast justified by the wealth,
the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary
taste ol the Southern jwiople, compared with
those of the Northern? No: for iu wealth, tal
ents and taste, we may justly claim, at least, an
equality with our brethren md a domestic insti
tution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, af
fords us, if we choose, twice the leisure for read
ing and writing which they enjoy.
It was from a deep sense of this local want, that
the word Southern was engrafted on this peri
odical : and not with any design to nourish local
prejudices, or to advocate supposed local inter
ests. Far from any such thought, it is the Edi
tor’* fervent wish, to see tue North and South
bound endearingly together, forever, in the silken
bands of mutual kindness and affection. Far
from meditating hostility to the north, he has al
ready drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw-,
much of his choicest matter thence; and happy
indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, by
making each region know the other better contri
bnte in tiny caoentiiil degree to dispel the lowering
clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and
to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fra
ternal love.
The Southern Literary Messenger ha?
now reached the lltli No. of its third volume.—
How far it has acted out the ideas here uttered,
is not for the Editor to say. He .believes, how
ever that it falls not further short of them, than
human weakness usually makes Tractive fall short
of Theory.
CONDITIONS
1. The Southern Literary Messenger is pub
lished in monthly numbers, of G-l large super
royal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and
neatly covered, at >5 a year—payable in advance
2. Or five new subscribers, by sending theii
names and S2O at one time to the editor, will re
ceive their copies lor one year, lor that sum, or
at :>4 for each.
3. 'i he risk of loss of payments for subscrip
tions, which have been properly committed to the
mail, or to the hands of a post master, is assum
ed by the editor.
4. If a subscription is not directed to be dis
continued before the first number of the next vol
ume has been published, it will betaken as a con
tinuance for another year. Subscriptions must
commence with the beginning of the volume,
and will not.be taken for less than a year’s pub
lication.
5. I lie mutual obligations of the publisher and
subscriber, for the year, are fully incurred as soon
as the first number of the volume is issued: and
alter that time, no discontinuance of a subscrip
tion will be permitted. Nor will a subscription
he discontinued for any earlier notice, while any
thing thereon remains due, miles t the option
of the Editor.
CARD.
To the patrons of the Southern Literary Messenger.
The startling cost at which this work has lu cn
established, and is sustained, and the thackwa ,j
--ness of many subscribers in fulfilling their pan es
our mutual compact, call indispensably for an ap
peal, not to their liberality—but to their justice.
If punctual payments are ever necessary, they are
pre-eminently so in the rase of such a publica
tion, —purely literary—almost wholly original
and destitute of the vital aid which'newspapers
derive from advertisements.
My all is at stake, in this enterprise. it is a
venture, stimulated indeed bv some hope of e
molument; but founded largely, also upon the*
well warranted expectation of rallying Southern
talents and Southern public spirit, around the
drooping and well nigh prostrate banner of South
ern Literature. Since it has now arqirie ' claims
upon Southern justice— can it be, t! at dies art
urged in vain?
Subscribers then, who are in : mars— md le.
them remember, that payment «s < ue m advance
will, 1 trust, without delay, transmit the mounts
they owe to me, at Richmond, by mail, at mv
risk and cost; taking proper evidence of the fact
and date of mailing; and retaining a memoran
dum of each note sent.

MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS & WILLIAM W. SNOWDEN
Assisted by many of the most popular Writers. ’
the publication of the May number tl,
demand for the Ladies’ Companion’ h *
been unprecedented and beyond the most saneub!*
anticipations. At the commencement of the v i
ume an additional number of copies were printed'
which was considered at the time adequate to t
lsly all the orders which might be received ami
leave a considerable number on hand for siibse
quent calls. 1 lie publisher is more than gratified
in stating that the whole edition was nearly ex
hausted betore the issuing of the seventh nuinbel
ol the volume; and at this time but very few
plete sets remain on hand, to supply the nun
ous orders which are daily received from everJ
section ot the United States. 3
111 consequence ol this great unforeseen increase
of new subscribers, lie has determined to double
: tl,e md ressions for the subseoutnt
year; while he most gratefully appreciates tlieua
I precedented encouragement extended to the La
dies* Companion, and at the same time he be-s *o
assure the readers ol the Magazine and the nub
liem general, that it is his ardent resolutions
meet it with a corresponding line.urn. „„ ljls , u
to merit its continuance. 1 u,t
Splendid Steel Engravings by our best ar
tists, accompany each number— illustrated b v
Tales and spirited Sketches—which will, as here
tofore, continue magnificent and far >upcrior to
those published in any other Magazine in Ameri
ca.
The Ladies’ Companion contains a larger qum
tity of raiding than any other magazine issued in
this country, and its subscription price is only
three.dollars a year, while the great combination
ot talent secured for the coining year will render
it unequalled by any other periodical.
Its Literary ( hakacter ! will undergo con
siderable change, as the publisher of the Ladies’
Companion, in order to show Jiis appreciation of
the public favor already extended to him so liber
ally, has secured the aid of Mrs. ANN S. STE
PHENS, late Editor of the ‘Portland Magazine,’
and author of a series of .the most beautiful anil
popular tides ever presented to an American
public. No lady possessing greater variety,of tal
ent, or better calculated to aid j,n conducting a
.Ladies’ Magazine, could have been selected from
the gaiaxy ot female genius which is the glory of
our country. In addition to the powerful talents
of Mrs. Stephens, the proprietor has secured a
list of contributors, w hich combined will render
the Ladies’ Companion our of the most interesting
and talented Magazines of the day.

Av ith many others who will occasionally contri
bute to the pagesol the "ark, and cvcrv exertion
will be made to render the Ladies’ Companion,
what a work devoted t« the female portion of the
community should be, interesting, useful and in
structive.
■i he Musical Department is under the su
peivisionol Mr. J. Watson, whose qualifications
lor the task are too well known to require urtes
timony.
i his department eftlie Ladies’ "Companion lias
ever commanded a large share til attention, and
been looked upon w-itli 1.0 little interest by its rea
ders, and more especially the Ladies, whom the
publisher is in tl 1 e highest degree anxious to
please, it will continue to Lc a .subject of more
than usual rare to him, and to the Trofessor,
under whose supervision it is placed, to make that
portion of the magazine allotted to Music, more
than ever deserving of the countenance of every
lover of music. It lias ever been and v,p| contin
ue to he the desire to have nil pieces of Music
printed correctly and fret from errors.
Ihe A\ or.K in General. Over every depart
ment an equally careful supervision will be strict
ly exercised by the Editors, and all appropriate
expenditures will be liberally bestowed, as it is the
design of the publisher, with the aid >of Iris con
tributors and the adviceof his friends to make the
Lad its' Companion distinguished for the bcavty
and accuracy of its typography; the variety and
b/gli tone iif its literary articles; the quality and
value of its music : and the unequalled splendor
of its Pictorax Embellishments.
It is the determination ,of the publisher to use
every means to maintain the superiority which
the Ladies’ Companion lias obtained. For four
years he has steadily pursued a course of improve
ment, and lie flatters himself that his present fa
cilities are such as to give the Ladies’ Companion
eminent advantages overall other publications ol
its character.
t rom the foregoing it will be perceived that the
Ladies’ Companion embraces everv department
within the range of Belles-lettres and the Fine
Arts; and no exertions or expense w ill be deem
ed too great to render the work equal to any other
extant. Ihe flattering and general testimonials
of neatly every eotemporary journal in the Unitod
States, and in fact, many on the otht r side of the
Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable
claims of the Ladies’ Companion to the support
ol tin- public generally. There is no work that
•gens its readers such great return for their subscrif
ticn.
Tiie Prize Articles w ill all be published dm
ring the year. These articles will comprise the
successful candidates for the premiums of ore
thousand dollars awarded by a committee of liter
