A MdgdzIne of


SCIENCE, LITERATURE AND MISCELLANY.


Published Semi-Monthly, by the
Jefferson College and Washington Lyceum.
WVHE extensive and growing interest of
~ 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
ature and science, advocating the doctrines
of no party.


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


1t is published semi-monthIy, 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.


1t will be remembered that we have nc
work in the South West similar to this; and
every one who feels pride in any enter.
prise calculated to enhance the social ant
moral character of eur country, should come
forward and assist in this worthy enterprise


Pecuniary emolument constitutes no par
of the object of this publication. 1t is no
intended to bene6tany individual or the Ly
ceum in pecuniary point of view. ThC
sole object is to advance knowledge and diff
fuse taste for the refined enjoymouts o
literature and science.


Nothing is now wanting to the accom-
plishment Of the wishes of the Lyceum bu
the patronage of the community; and it j
expected that this patronage will be prompt
ly and cheerfully extended.


All communications in reference to tn
periodical should be addressed, post paid I
