Dec. 14. j PROSPECTUS 3 OF T11E ] Southern Literary Messenger* J T. W. WHITE, Editor and Proprietor. i This is a monthly Magazine, devoted chiefly to :*! Literature, but occasionally finding room also for 1 articles tfiat fall within the scope of Science; and '1 not professing an entire disdain of tasteful selections, | be, in the main, original. a Parly politics and controversial Theology, as '?jl far as possible, are jealously excluded. They art .?! sometimes so blended with discussions in literature or in moral science, otherwise unobjt ctionable, as to gain admittance foi the sake of the more valua- ^ l ie matter to which they adhere; but whenever that happens, they are incidental, only; not primary.? '$ They are dross, tolerated only besause it cannot y well be severed from the stcrlidg ore wherewith it is ncorporatcd. Reviews, and Critical Notices, occupy thoir due > spree in the work; and it is the Editor's aim tha S they should have a threefold tendency?to convey, 'j in & condensed form, such valuable truths or intrr- ' c -ting incidents as are embodied in the works re viewed,?to direct the reader's attention to books tbatdeseive to be read,?and to warn him against 'j wasting time and money upon that large number, : j which merit only to be burned. In this age, of pub lications that by their variety and multitude, distract and overwhelm every undiscrh mating student, impartial criticism, governed by the views just mentioned, it is one of the most inestimable and indi?> pensahle of auxiliaries, to hi:u who does wish to discriminate. f-j Essays, and Tales, having in view utility ot . arnuseimat, or both?Historical Sketches?ind Reminiscences of events too ruinate for Hirtory, yet v eluciil iting it, and heightening its interest,?n-ay be regarded as fanning the staple of the work And .;> of indigenous Poetry, enough is published?sometimes of no mean strain?to manifest and to culti- ~i vate the growing poetical taste and talents of our country. ^ The times appear, for several reasons, to demand * > such a work?and not one alone, but many. The "? public mind is feverish and irritated still, from re- ,-i cent political strifes:?The soft, assuasi'e influence j of Literature is needed to alla> that fever, and A..j soothe th.it irritation. Vice and folly are rioting abroad:?Thc^ should be driven by indignant rebuke or lashed by ridicule, into their fitting haunts. Ignorance lords it ovrr an immense proportion of our ; ' people:?Every spring should be act in motion, to arouse the enlightened, and to increase their number; so thit jhe great enemy of popular government may no longer brood, like a portentous cloud, over the destinies of our country. And to accomplish all these ends, what more sowcrful agent can be employed, than a periodical, on the plan of the Messeagei; if that plan be carried out in practiced 1 ar ouuiil |x'wUH?nv ir^unca duuii an ugiifi. xu i ill the Union, south of Washington, there are but J two Literary publications! Northward of that city, there are probably at least twenty-five or thirty! Is . f] this contrast justified by the wealth, the leisure, the J native talent, or the actual literary taste, of the Southern people, compared with those ol the Northern! No: for in wealth, talents, and taste, we tray ustly claim at least an equality with onr brethren; tnd a domestic institution exclusively our own,berond all doubt affords us, if we cbo.>se, twice the eisure for reading and writing, w hich they enby. It was from a deep sense of tliis local want, that he word Southern was engrafted on the name of % his periodical, and not with any design to nourish 5 ocal prejudices, or to advocate suppohed local inter'sts. Far from any such thought, it is the Editor's ervent wish to see the North and South bound eniearinglv together forever, in the silken bands of nutual kindness and affection. Far from medita ing hostility to the north, he his already drawn ma he hopes hereafter to draw, much of his choi:est matter thence: and happy inde< d will he deem limself, should his pages, by making each region mow the other better, contribute in any essential legrce to dispel the lowering clouds that now threaen the peace of both, and to brighten and strength- _ 1 in sacred ties of fraternal love. * m The Southern Literary Messenger has now -J eaohed the May No of its fourth volame. How ar ithas acted out the ideas here uttered, is not for he Editor to say. He believes, however, that it ^ "alia not further abort of thorn, than human weak- "J teas usually makes Practice fall short of Theory, CONDITIONS. 1.
