Blank NEATLY PRINTED AND FOR SALE AT THIS OFFICE EROSPECTUS. OF TUE Southern liiterary Messenger, rriHIS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly i- to Literature, but occasionally findii’ room also for articles that fall within the scone Science; and not professing an entire disdain of tasteful si lections, though its matter has been it will continue to be, in the main, original. Party Politics, and controversial r lheology l 1s far as possible, are jealously excluded. Thov a r# sometimes so blended with discussions in ht eiu ture or in moral science, otherwise unobjection able, as to gain admittance for the sake of the more valuable matter to \» Inch they adhere: | JUt whenever that happens they are incidental, onlv not primary. They are dross, tolerated only V/ 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, m a condensed form, such valuable truths or interesting incidents as arc embodied in tlm 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. J rj this age of publications that by their variety- and multitude, distract and ovcrwhelmn every undis criminating student, IMPARTIAL CRITICISM, gov" erned bythe views just mentioned, is one of the most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him rvho does wish to discriminate. Essays and Tales, having in view utility oi a musement, or both— Historical sketches— -and Rf.minisencks of events too minute for History yet elucidating it, and heightning its maybe regarded as forming the 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, hut 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. Vice and folly are rioting abroad : —They should be driven hv indignant rebuke, or lashed by ridicule, into then 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 no Ei ger brood, like a portent-mis cloud, over the tks tinies of our country. \ntl 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 erne, 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 taint, or the actual literary taste of the Southern people, compared with those of the Northern J No: for in wealth, tal ents and taste, rve may justly claim, at least, an equality with our brethren md a domestic insti tution exclusively onr 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 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 heal inter ests. Far from any such thought, it is the Edi tor’s fervent wish, to see the Nonk 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 hute in any essentia! 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. CONDITIONS L The Southern Literary Messenger is pub lished in monthly numbers, of 64 hirge 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 their names and S2O at one time to the editor, will re ceive their copies for one year, ier 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. ll a subscription is not directed to be dis continued before the first number of the next vol tune 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 lor less than a year’s pub lication. 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 lor any earlier notice, while any thing thereon remains due, urdes t the option of the Editor. CARD. To the patrons of the Southern Literary Messenger. I he startling cost at which this work has been established, and is sustained, and the backwaid ness of many subscribers in fulfilling their part of our mutual compact, eafl 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 case of such a publica tion, —purely literary—almost wholly original — and destitute of the vital aid 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 w ell 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 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.
