SOUTHERN LITERARY GAZETTE.
A NE W SERIES FOR 1852,
WITH ENTIRELY NEW FEATURES.
The Publishers ol this popular and well
established Journal, beg leave to announce,
that in compliance with the wishes of hun
dreds of their subscribers, they will com
mence, on the 3d of January, 1852, anew
series of this paper, in a form adapted to
preservation in volumes. It will be printed
upon an imperial sheet, in a quarto form
of sixteen pages, filled with the choicest
variety of original and selected matter. It
will be conducted as heretofore, by Mr. Wm.
C. Richarps, aided by an extensive and
efficient corps of contributors.
To meet the growing demand for space,
by the awakening talent of the South, the
publishers have determined to publish semi
monthly supplements corresponding in size
with the weekly numbers, thus increasing
the former amount of reading matter one half
during the whole year.
These supplements will be devoted to the
publication of original novels, dramas, and
other important serial contributions, which
would occupy too much space in the weekly
numbers. The first supplement will appear
with the first weekly number, and regularly
thereafter, twice a month. The publishers
are happy to announce as their first great
serial.
A SOUTHERN NOVEL, by WM. GIL
MORE SIMMS, LL. D.,
entitled “The Sword and the Distaff’.” —
Other brilliant original works by Southern
authors will follow in quick successsion. and
this feature of the work can scarcely fail to
find general favour.
To meet the increase of expense occasioned
by these changes; and to w arrant the contin
ual improvement ofthe journal, the subscrip
tion price will be raised to Three Dollars a
year, in advance, for which trifling sum,
each subscriber will receive 76 numbers ofthe
Gazette, making an aggregate of over
TWELVE HUNDRED IMPERIAL
QUARTO PAGES ;
more matter than is furnished by any other
literary paper in the world, for the same
price.
The Publishers will spare no pains or ex
pense to make the new series of the Gazette
surpass its former series, in variety, quality,
and brilliance of material, and they con
fidently appeal to the people of the whole
South to sustain them in their purpose and
endeavours.
The Clubbing system will be abolished, as
both inconvenient and unsatisfactory to all
parties. Any person, however, who may
interest himself to procure subscribers, will
be entitled to retain from his collections, one
fifth of any su m under fifteen dollars, and
one-fourth of any sum over that amount. —
Five dollars will be received in advance
payment for two years.
A vcy large edition of the new series will
be published and back numbers will be sup
plied to all orders whilethey last, unlessspecial
directions are given to the contrary.
Orders must be accompanied by the cash,
and addressed, post-paid, to
