PROSPECTUS. OV THE Southern Literary Jlesseuger. 'THUS is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly A to Literature, but occasionally ii,„ii„ room also lor articles that fall within the scope Ji Science ; and not professing an entire disdain ot tasteful selections, though its matter has been, as it will continue to be, in the main, original. ' Party Politics, and controversial Fheoloau as far as possible, are jealously excluded. They ar sometimes so blended with discussions in liter, 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 steriino ore wherewith it-is* incorporated. “ Reviews and Critical Notices, occupy their due space iu the w ork: and it is the Editor’s am, that they should have a threefold tendency t ( > 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 ouly to be burned. J„ this age of publications iliut by their variety and multitude, distract and overwhelinn every undis criminating student, impartial criticism, gov erned by the view s just mentioned, is one of the most inestimable and indispensable of auxiliaries to him who does wish to discriminate. Essays and Talks, having in view utility or a musement, or both— Historical sketches and Reminisemes c events too minute for History yet elucidatin' !, and lieightuiug its interest may be regarded as forming the staple of the woik. Ami ol indigenous Poetry, enough is published—-sometimes of no mean strain—to man ifest Rnd to cultivate the growing poetical taste | and talents of our coiUiti v . The times ap.-, dr> reasons, to d* mand sue.; a work—and not one alone, but many. Ihe public mind is feverish and irritated still, from recent political strifes: The soft, assuasivv 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 tliei'. fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it over an in nieuse proportion of our people .-—Every sprint 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 blood, like a portent'*)us cloud, over the lies tinies of our country. \nd to accomplish all these ends, what more pow erful agent can he em ployed, than a periodical on the plan of the Mes senger; it that plan be hut carried out iu 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 of the Southern people, 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 mil a domestic insti tution exclusively our own, beyond all doubt, al lords us, il we choose, twice the leisure for lead ing and writing which they enjoy. It was from a deep sense of this local want, that the word .Southern was engrafted on this jeri odical: and not with any design to nourish local prejudices, or to advocate supposed local iuter ests. Far front 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 readv drawn, and he hopes hereafter to draw, much ol his choicest matter thence; and happy indeed will he deem himself, should his pages, by making each region know the other better cor.tri bute in any essential degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now tlitealen the peace of bgtjii wd tp brighten and strengthen the Sacred tics of fiv ternal love. CONDITIONS 1. 1 lie Spnthern 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 tlieit names and S2O at one time to the editor, will re ceive their copies for one yypr, fi»r that sunt, or at $4 for each. 3. The risk of loss of payments for subscrip tions, which have been properly committed to the maii, or 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 tune has been published, it will betaken as a con tinuance lor another year. Subscriptions must commence with the beginning of the volume, and will not be taken for less titan a year's pub lication. 5. 1 lie mutual obligations of the publisher and subscriber, for the year, are fully incurred as soon as tlie first number of the volume is issued: and after that time, no discontinuance of a subscrip tion will be permitted. Nor w ill a subscription be discontinued for any earlier notice, while any thing thereon remains due, unles t the option of the Editor, CARD. To the patrons of the Sou thern Literary Messenger. The startling cost at which this work has been established, and is sustained, arid the backwa:«l ness of many subscribers in fulfilling their pari of our mutual compact, call indispensably for an ap peal, not to their liberality—but to their justice. If punctual payments are ever necessary, they ate 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 ibis enterprise —lt i 9 •* 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 claim* upon Southern justice — can it be, that thes are urged in vain ? Subscribers then, who are in arrears— and Id them remember, that payment is due in advance, will, I trust, without delay, transmit the mount* they owe to ntc, at Richmond, by mail, at my risk and cost; taking proper evidence of the fi> c and date of mailing; and retaining a memorau dunt of each note sent.
