PROSPECTUS.
OF THE
Southern Literary Me**eii£or.
riMIIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly
-I- 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.
Party Politics , and controversial Theology, as
f;ir 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 are 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 iu 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
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, w hich merit only to be burned. In
this age of publications that by their variety and
multitude, distract and overwhelmn 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 docs wish to discriminate.
Essays and I ills, having in view utility or a
imisement, or both— Historical sketches— and
Reminisences ol events too minute for History,
yet elucidating it, and heightning its interest
may be regarded as forming thn staple of the
w ork. And of .indigenous Poetry, enough is
published—sometimes of no mean strain—to man
ifest and to cultivate the growing poetical taste
and talents of our country.
The times appear, for several reasons, to de
mand such a work—and uot one alone, but many.
1 lie public mind is feverish and irritated still,
from recent political strifes: The soft, assuasive
influence of Literature is needed, to allav that
fever, and soothe that irritation. Y r iee 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- 1
meuse proportion of our people :—Every spring
should be set in motion, to arouse the enlighten
ed, and to increase their number; «o that the
great enemy of popular government may no lon
ger brood, like a portentmus cloud, over the des
tinies of our country. Ynd to accomplish all
these ends, what 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 !
The 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 ol 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 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’s fervent wish, to see the 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 eontri
bate in any essential degree to dispel the lowering
clouds that now threaten the peace of both, and
to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of Ka
ternal love..
The Southern Literary Messenger lias
now reached the 11th 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 *hort of them, than
human weakness usually makes Practice fall short
of Theory.
CONDITIONS
1. i lie 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. Or five new subscribers, by sending theii
names and S2O at one time to the editor, will re
ceive their copies for one year, for that sum, or
at $4 for each.
3. The 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 frst 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. The mutual obligations of the publisher and
subscriber, for the year, are hilly 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, while any
thing thereon remains due, unles t the option
of the Editor. 1
CARD.
r <> the patrons of the Southern Literary Messenger.
I he startling cost at which this work has been
established, and is sustained, and the backwa d
ness ot many subscribers in fulfilling theii pan of
om- mutual compact, call indispensably for an ap
peal, not to their liberality—but to their justiie.
It punctual payments are ever necessary, they are
pre-eminently so in th? case 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.— lr is a
venture, stimulated indeed by some hone of c
inoluinent; 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 acquired claims
upon Southern justice— can if be, that dies are
urged in vain ?
Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and le
them remember, that payment is due in advance
will, I trust, without delay, transmit the mounts
they owe to me at Richmond, by mail, at my
lisk and cost; taking proper evidence of the fact
and date of mailing; and retaining a memoran
uum of each note sent.
