A Magazine of


SCIENCE, LITERATURE AND MISCELLANY.


Published Semi-Monthly, by the
Jefferson College and Washington Lyceum
TkNtIE extensive and growing interest of
IN the South. West, its moral and social
improvement, and its increasing literary
and scientific demands, have awakened at
tention to the fact that in this highly impor.
tant portion Of our country there is no Jour
nal or paper so exclusively devoted TO liter
AZURE and science, advocating the doctrines
of no party


Feeling tho necessity of such paper,
the Jefferson College and Washington Ly-
ceum have commenced the publication of a
periodical entitled "TME SOUTH WESTERN
JOURNAL" to be devoted to literature and
science, and all subjects interesting to the
general reader.


II is published semi-monthly, in the city
of Natchez, and contains sixteen small quar-
to pages, similar in form to the "Penny
Magazine" and is protected by good en-
velope, so that it may be conveyed to any
distance without injury.


II will be remembered that we have no
work in the Southwest similar to this; and
every one who feels pride in any enter
prise calculated to enhance the social and
moral character of err country, should come
forward and assist in this worthy enterprise

Of the object of this publication. 1t is not
intended to beneftany individual or the Ly-
ceum in pecnniary point of view. The
sole object is to advance knowledge and DIFF
fuse taste for the refined enjoymonts OF

Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
plshment of the wishes Of the Lyceum but
the patronage of the community; and it is
expected that this patronage will be prompt.
Iy and cheerfuIly extended.
