PROPOSALS, 1 For Publishing, iti Lexington, Kentucky, A LITKHARY, PERIODICAL WORK, to he EXfirr.ED, rnn WESTERN REVIEW A D MISCELLANEOUS .MAGAZINE. ' THE time, it is hoped, has at length arrived, when the patronage of the citizens of the western country to a periodical work, devoted to the interests of literature and aciptirp. will nnt hf ccliritiil in vain. In

the first settlement of a country, when the attention of its inhabitants must be almost exclusively directed to the means of providing for their physical want?, it cannot indeed he expected, that learning should flourish : the cultivation of the fields of literature and science must yield, for a time, to the xnore essential employment of procuring the necessaries and conveniences of life. It is evident, however, that the state of our society is now sufficiently advanced, to admit of a liberal and honorable patronage of literary enterprize. We have arrived at such a degree of maturity, as to be able at once to discern the importance, and to acquire the means, of mental cultivation. We have among us, too, men of literary leisure, both able and disposed to furnish us occasionally a feast for the mind ; and, it is hoped,, we are not generally so exclusively devoted to the sordid acquisition of wealth, or to the still more ignoble pursuit of pleasure, as to be destitute either of the taste or the lei-sure, requisite for the enjoyment of such a mental repast. Our country 13 rich" in topics for interesting discussion and scientific remark. Its natural curiosities are abundant and but partially explored. Its political establishments; its infant, but growing. literary institutions ; Its commercial, agricultural, and manufacturing interests ; its susceptibility of internal improvement, and the extent of its natural and acquired resources ; all claim the attention or the patriot and the scholar. "When to these are added the exhaustless themes of philosophy, morality, natural and revealed religion, political ami domestic economy, philology, history, biography and the arts of life how extensive is the field

' presented for our cultivation ! But our prospect is not bounded even here. We may ne our endeavors to add that polish and beiuty to the literary character of our country, which can result only from a popular acquaintance with the more graceful and ornamental departments of learning: and, may it not be said, that less importance has of fateoeeh generally attached to elegant letters than they deserve, even with respect to their influence on those faculties of the mind, with which they are usually considered as having the least connection ? It will be among the main objects of the vrork now proposed, to develope the natural history of the western states, to cultivate and improve our literary taste, to communicate the most interesting literary intelligence, and to vindicate, while it endeavors to advance, the literary ciiaracter of our country. It will contain notices and reviews of new publications, both foreign and domestic; essays in the several departments of literature and science ; anecdotes respecting the early history, and accounts of the natural curiosities, of the western country : and such fither miscellaneous matter as may tend to the gratification and amusement of its readers Devoted to no sect or party, it will inculcate liberal, enlarged and philanthropic yhv.s and while its pages will ever be .h o to candid and well written communications 011 appropriate subjects from every no-.i , ; , a'i TTrtroversy nn religions nnd poliUt i! topics will be carefully excluded. T;,e Editor has great satisfaction in bein ahle to add, that, from the number and t:u talent of those, who are pledged to contitrate to the work, there is every reason to believe, it will be calculated, at once, to n ;itifv its readers, and to reflect no inconsiderable credit on the literary character of the western country.
