JOB PRINTING executed at this office PROSPECTUS OF THE VIRGINIA WREATH. THE subscriber proposes to publish in Win chester, (Va.) an exclusively literary pa per, with the above title. 'I he advantages of periodical literature are so a ell known and so highly appreciated at the present day, that the subscriber would be con tent that this prospectus should contain nothing more than a mere annunciation of the manner in which the contemplated paper will be con ducted—the editor’s expectation of assistance from many literary individuals—together with assurances of attention and diligence on his own part, if it was not that the prevalency of an opinion that a purely literary paper cannot suc ceed in this section of country, has been the cause of the failure of many such undertakings heretofore. It is only deemed necessary to ask the public to discard an opinion, which, predi cated on no proper grounds, is still the great and almost only reason of the depressed state of this branch of literature in Virginia and the South generally; for surely the fact that there is no part of our country which is not overflow ing with foreign literary periodicals, is an evi dence of an interest in and a spirit to support li terature. And most certainly, when it is recol lected that the South has ever relied with honor and success upon her own resources in every other respect, no one will doubt her ability to build up and maintain the character of literary works within her own boundaries. Let it there fore be seen that a spirit to support and the ta lent to maintain should be the only reasons of the absence of these literary repositories in any country; and let a liberal patronage furnish the benefits of an extended circulation to the trea sures of Southern genius. The columns ofthe Virginia Wreath will con tain much good original matter—many indivi duals of high merit, some of whom have alrea- j dy distinguished themselves in the literary world, having tendered their assistance—with selec tions from the best American and British perio dicals, comprising Tales, Essays, Reviews, Poe try. Literary notices, &c. This paper will be issued weekly, neatly exe cuted on fine paper with small type, and con tain in each number 8quarto pages, at $3 00 per annum, payable at the end of six months, or S3 50 if not paid within the year. Postmasters, editors, and others, who act as agents, will be entitled to an eleventh copy gratis, or ten per cent, on all moneys forwarded.
