literary support of the most eminent authors in the country. The greatest care is exercised in the selection of articles for its pages, from the immense number of MSS. received-a number now amounting to more than eighteen hundred. In so great a press of material to be considered, the Publishers appeal confidently for patience to all who favor them with their contributions, while they heartily thank them for their good will. While care is taken that nothing in the remotest degree offensive to propriety or good taste defaces these pages, and the ablest talent is secured to make a Magazine, which, for variety of interest, and excellence of tone, shall be surpassed by no similar publication in the world, the Publishers assure the Public that their motto is still onward, and that every year's experience will enable them more fully to deserve the favor which they so gratefully acknowledge.
