SOUTHERN LITERARY JOURNAL,


Published. ia Charleston, s. C..
VA HlLEnumerousl literary periodicals
w are issued from the American
Press, which are literally patronized, it
has been.a subject of general regret, thai
since the disconiinuance of that able work,
the Southern Review, there has been no
Magazine established in South Carolina
affording suitable medium through which
+ he opinions Of our best writers might be
brought to bear directly and usefllly upon
4 the public mind. II is with a view 10
meet this demand, that the publication o
this work is proposed-and that the pa-f
tronaeg of the citizens of the South is re-
spcctfully solicited.


I The proposed Magazine will consist of
original communications on Literary and
Scientific subjects, of notices of recent
publications, particularly in the depart
ment Of light and fugitive Literature, of
popular tales suggested BY historical and
I local associations, of Poetry and political
i intelligence. Its columns are intended to
afford a vehicle for the free, but temper
I ate discussion ofalI questions, which, from
their Importance, interest, or attraction,
are deserving of the attention of IN
educated community. If il shall become
what It's name imports, Journal Of strict
Southern Literature-if it shall serve to
place upon record true account of the
opinions, feelings, habits and general
tone of thinking Of an enthusiastic and
high minded people-if. under the emil
venlng inspiration of the Genius Laci and
with the approving smiles of the generous
and the Fair, and the concurrent and eflec-
tive AID Of the learned and talented men
among US, if Itshall contribute, in anv
small degree, to secure for the South that
elevated literary position to which tits en-
titled, and which it is capable of main
taining, its design will then be fully ac-
complished.


The work will be conducted by the sub
scriber, and assisted by several literary
gentlemen, who have pledged themselves
to contribute constantly and literally TO
our columns, whoare interested in its sue
cess, and who think the present a favora-.
blejuncture for the commencement fsuch
