PROSPECTUS
OF THE
Southern Literary Messenger.
T. W. WHITE, Editor and Proprietor.
This is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly to
Literature, but occasionally finding room also for
articles that fall within the scope of Science; and
not professiig an entire disdain of tasteful selections, i
though its matter has been, as it w ill continue to;
be, in the main, original. |
Party politics and controversial Theology, as,
far as possible, are jealously excluded. They are
sometimes so blended with discussions in literature!
or in moral science, otherwise unobjectionable, as
to gain admittance foi the sake of the more valua- 1
ble matter to which they adhere, but whenever (bat
happens, they are incidental, only; not primary.? j
They are dross, tolerated only because it cannot
well be severed from the stcrlidg ore wherewith it is
incorporated.
Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy thair due
spree in the work: and it is the Editor's aim that
they should have a threefold tendency?to convey,
in a condensed form, such valunhle truths or interesting
incidents as are embodied in the tvorks reviewed,?to
direct the reader's attention to books
that deserve to be rend,?and to warn him against
wasting time and money upon that largo number,
which merit only to be burned. In this age, of pub

country.
The times appear, for sryer.il reasons, to deman
? such a work?and not one alone, but many. Tl
public mind is feverish and irritated still, from r<
119 cent political strifes:?T ie soil, vsuasive influent

he It was from a deep sense of this local want, tho
the word Southern was engrafted on the name c
on this periodica], and not with any design to nouris
il- local prejudices, or to advocate supposed local intei
ix cats. Far from any such thought, it is the Fditor"
ty fervent wish to see the North and Southbound cr
rd deannolv together forever, in the silken hands c
mutual kindness and affection. Far from medita
F, ting hostility to the north, he has already drawn
and he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choi
ceat matter thence: and happy inde d will he deen
? himself, should his pages, by making each regioi
know the other better, contribute in any essentia
degree to dispel the lowering clouds that now thren
ten the peaee of both, and to brighten and strength
en sacred ties of fraternal love.
