PROSPECTUS. ~ OF TIIK Southern Li'lcrarj Tlcssongcr. FfJIIIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly -i- to Litktiatuhe, 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. Purl y Politics, and controversial Theology, as far as possible, are jealously excluded. They 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 arc dross, tolerated only be cause it cannot well be severed from the sterling ore wherewith it is incorporated. Reviews and Critical Notices, occupy their due space, in the work: and it is the Editor’s aim that they should Have a threefold tendency—to convey, in a condensed form, such valuable truths or interesting incidents as are embodied in the w orks 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 overwhelmn every tmdis criminating student, impartial criticism, gov erned by the views just mentioned, is one of the most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries to liitn who does wish to discriminate. Essays and Tales, having in view utility or a musement, or both— Historical sketches— and Reminiskncks of events too minute for History, yet elucidating ir, and lieightning its interest may be regarded ns forming tlm staple of the work. And ot indigenous Poetry, enough is published—sometimes of no mean strain—to man ifest f.-.d to cultivate the growing poetical taste and talents of our country. The times appear, for several reasons, to de mand such a work—and not one alone, but manv. 3hc 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. Vice 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 lm incose proportion ol our peopleilvery spring should be set in motion, to arouse the enlighten cd, and to increase their number; so that the great enemy of popular government may no lon ger brood, like a portentous cloud, over the des tinies of our country. Yml to accomplish all these ends, what more pow erful agent can be em ployed, than a periodical on the plan of the Mes senger ; it that plan be but carried out iu prac tice 1 Ihe South peculiarly requires such an agent. In all the Union, south of Washington, there are but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-five or thirty! Is this contrast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the native talent, or the actual literary taste ot the Southern people, compared with those of the Northern? No: for in wealth, tal ents and taste, we may justly claim, at least, an equality with our brethren »nd a domestic insti tution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, af fords us, if we choose, twice the leisure lor 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 toi s fervent wish, to see tne North and South bound endearingly together, forever, in the silken bands of mutual kindness and affection. Far from meditating hostility to the north, he lias al ready drawn, and lie 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 coiltri butc in any essential degree to dispel the loweriim clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fra ternal love, 'lhe Southern Literary Messenger has now reached the 11th No. of its third volume.- How tar 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 Practice fall short of Theory. CONDITIONS J’ D ie Southern Literary Messenger is pub lished in monthly numbers, of 64 large super royal octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and neatly covered, at $5 a year-payable in advance 2. Ur five new subscribers, by sending their names and S2O at one time to the editor, w ill re ceive their copies for one year, for that sum, or at 84 for each. 3. The risk of loss of payments for subscrip tions, which have been properly committed to the man, or to the hands ot 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 nine 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. 1 5. The 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 be discontinued for any earlier notice, w hile any thing thereon remains due, miles t the option ot the Editor. CARD. To the patrons rs the Southern Literary Messenger. Jhe startling cost at which this uo'rk has been established, and is sustained, and the backwa d noss ol many subscribers in fulfilling their pan of our mutual compact, cal! indispensably for an ap peal, not to their liberality—but to their justice. If punctual payments are ever necessary, they arc pre-eminently so in the case of such a publica tion,—purely literary—almost wholly oriforal and destitute of the vital aid which newspapers derive from advertisements. My all is at stake, in this enterprise. — lt is a venture, stimulated indeed by 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* t Litciature. Since it has now acquired claims upon Southern justice— can it be, that the* arc urged in vain ? Subscribers then, who arc in arrears—and 1c them remember that payment is due in advance, w ill, 1 trust, w ithout delay, transmit the mounts they owe to me, at Richmond, by mail, at my risk and cost; taking proper evidence of tbe fact and date of mailing; and retaining a memoran dum ol each note sent. THOMAS W. WHITE. Richmond, Nov. 24, 1837. PROSPECT US TO THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE Containing Quarterly Fashion Plates, Illustrated Articles, THE CHEAPEST PERIODICAL IN THE WORLD. |X commencing anew volume, the publisher JL would take occasion to observe, that not only w ill the same exertions be continued, which have secured to his subscription list an unexampled in crease, but his claims upon the public favor will be enhanced by every means which unceasing en deavor, enlarged facilities, and liberal expendi ture can command. 1 The subjoined is a brief plan of the work • Its Original Papers will be so varied ‘as to form a combination of the useful with the enter taining and agreeable.

J A popular and highly esteemed Magazine, of gen eral Literature and the Fine Arts, embellished with gorgeous and costly Engravings, on Steel Copper and Wood; and also with Fashionable and popular Music, arranged for the Piano- Forte, Guitar and Bard. EDITORS. MRS. ANN S. STEPHENS 6C WILLIAM W. SNOWDEN, Assisted by many of the most popular Writers. SINCE the publication of the May number, the demand for the Ladies’ Companion has been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine anticipations. At the commencement of the vol ume an additional number of copies were printed w hich was considered at the time adequate to sat isfy all the orders which might be received, and leave a considerable number on hand for stihse quent calls. The publisher is more than gratified in stating that the whole edition was nearly ex hausted before the issuing of the seventh number of the volume; and at this time but very few com plete sets remain on hand, to supply the nun er ous orders which are daily received from every section of the United States. 3 Inconsequence ot this great unforeseen increase of new subscribers, he lias determined to double the number ol' impressions for the subsequent year; while he most gratefully appreciates the un precedented encouragement extended to the La dies’Companion, and at the same time he begs to assure the readers of the Magazine and the pub lic in general. that it is liis ardent resolution to meet it with a corresponding liberality on liis part to merit its continuance. Splendid Steel Engravings by oui best ar tists, accompany each number—illustrated by Tales and spirited Sketches—which w ill, as here tofore, continue magnificent and far superior to those published in any other Magazine iu Ameri ca. The Ladies’ Companion contains a larger quan tity oj reading than any other magazine issued in this country, and its subscription price is only three dollnrs a year, while the great combination of talent secured for the coining year will reuder it unequalled by any other periodical. Its Literary Character ! will undergo con siderable change, as the publisher of the Ladies’ ' ompanion, in order to show liis appreciation of the public favor already extended to him so liber ally, has secured the aid of Mrs. ANN S. STE I’IIENS, late Editor of the ‘Portland Magazine,’ and author of a series of the most beautiful and popitlar tales ever presented to an American public. No lady possessing greater variety of tal ent, or better calculated to aid in conducting a Ladies’ Magazine, could have been selected from the galaxy of female genius which is the glory of o.ur country. Iu addition to the powerful talents of Mrs. Stephens, the proprietor has secured a list of contributors, which combined will render the Ladies’ Companion one of the most interestin'* and talented Magazines of the day. Mrs.L.U Sigourney, Mrs. Jane E. Locke, Mrs. V oodhull, Mrs. Emma C. Embury, Miss A. D. Woodbi dge, Miss H. L. Beasley, Miss Charlotte Cushman, Miss Mary Emily Jackson, Messrs. Robert Hamilton, J.

Ihe Musical Department is under the su penision of Mr. J. Watson, whose qualifications loi the tusk aie too well kuowij to reouire tes timony. his department of the Liad-ios’ Companion has ever commanded a large share of attention, and been looked upon with no little interest b.v its rea d( is, and more especially the Ladies, whom the publishei is in the highest degree anxious to please. It will continue to he a subjc’ct of more than usual care to him, and to the Professor , uindei w liose supervision it is placed, to make that poition ol the magazine allotted to .1 lusic, more than ever deserving of the countenance of every lovci of music. It has ever been and will contin ue to be the desire to have all pieces of Music printed correctly and free from errors. ihe \\ ork in General. Over every depart ment an equally careful supervision w ill be strict ly exeiciscd by the Lditors, and all appropriate expenditures will be liberally bestowed, as it is the design ol the publisher, with the aid of his con tributotrs and the advice of his friends to make the Ladies' Companion distinguished for the beauty und accuracy of its typography; the I'ariety and high tone oj its literary articles; the quality and value of its music ; and' the unequalled splendor of its Pictoral Embellishments. It is the determination t of the publisher to use every means to maintain the superiority which the Ladies’Companion lias obtained. For four yeais he lias steadily pursued a course of improve ment, and lie flatters himself that his present fa cilities are such as to give tbe Ladies’ Companion eminent advantages over all other publications of its character. I lorn the foregoing it will be perceived that the Ladies Cosifanion embraces every department within the. range of Belles-Lettres and the Fine Arts; and no exertions or expense will be deent ed too great to render the work equal to any other extant. Ihe flattering and general testimonials i.i nearly every cotemporary journal in the United .Mates, and in fact, many on the other side of the Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable claims o. the Ladies’ Companion to the support of the public generally.
