Blank Note*, NEATLY riUNTED AND FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE PROSPECTUS* OF THE Southern Lites ary .llessengei*. rrHIIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly Jl to Literature, but occasionally findjj ’ room also lor 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 t M 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 ftr the sake of the more valuable matter to which they adhere: but whenever that happens they are incidental, onlv j not primary. They are dross, tolerate and only b’J cause it cannot well be severed from the sterljil . 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 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. l a lids age of publications that by their variety and multitude, distract and overwheliun every undis criminating student, impartial criticism, gov erned bytlie 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 Rejiinisences of events too minute for History yet elucidating it, and heightning its interest— may be regarded as funning Xlio staple of the work. 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 not one alone, but many. The public mind is feverish and irritated stiff 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 ion’s 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 no lon ger brood, like a portentous cloud, over the des tinies of our country. Vud 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 iflan be but carried out k: n>ir tice? 1 The South peculiarly requires such an agent. In all the Union, south of Y> ashiugton, there are but two Literary periodicals! Northward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-five cr thirty! Is this contrast justified by the wealth, the leisure, die native talent, or the actual literary taste of the .Southern people, compared with those of the Northern? 2No: for in wealth, tal ents and taste, wc 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 ol ibis local want, that the word Southern was 'engrafted on this ’peri odieal: 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 tne North and South bound endearingly together, forever, in the silken bands of mutual kindness and affection. Far Rom meditating Iwstility to the north, he has al leailv drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choicest matter thence; and happy indeed w ill lie deem himself, should his pages, by making each region know the other better contn bate in any essential degree to dispel the lowering cloiuls that now threaten the peace of’ both, and to brighten and strengthen the sacred ties of fra ternal love. CONDITIONS 1. The Southern Literary Messenger is pub lished iu monthly numbers, of 64 large super loval octavo pages each, on the best of paper, and neatly covered, at $5 a year—payable in advance 2. Or live new subscribers, by sending theh 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. 1 lie risk of loss of payments for subscrip tions, which have been properly committed to the mail, c«i to the hands ol 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 uine has been published, ii will betaken as a con tinuance for another year. .Subscriptions must commence with the beginning of the volume, and will not be taken lor less than a yeai s pub lication. 5. l’he mutual obligations of the pubic her nnd subscriber, for the year, are fully incurrec. as soon as the first number of the volume is issued: and •ihes that,time, no discontinuance of a subscrip tion wiilbe permitted. Nor will a siibscriptior. be discontinued for any earlier notice, while any thing thereon remains due, unles t the option of the Lchtor. CARD. To the patrons ofthe Southern Titerary Messenger. !he startling cost at which this work has been established, and -is sustained, anti the ba.kwaid ness oi many subscribers in fulfilling their part of our mutual comp act, tall indispensably for an <tp peal, not lo their liberality—but to their justice. 11 punctual payments are ever necessary, they are pre-eminently so in the 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.—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 ern Literature. Since it has now acquired claims upon Southern justice —cun it be, that thes are urged in vain ? Subscribers then, who are in arrears—and let 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 risk and cost; taking proper evidence of the fact and date of mailing; and retaining a memoran dum of each note sent.
