PROPOSALS
By J. £9’ VV. RUssu.L, for ‘publishing in the city of
Hartford, a Periodical VVot‘k, to be entitled,
The Rural Magazine 8; Far-
mer’s Montltly Museum.
Edited by "S. PUTNAM VVALDO, Esq.
(Compiler of ‘ Robbins’ Journal,’ author of ‘ Pres-
itlent’-s Tour,’ and ‘ lldcmoirs o_/‘Jackson ,-’)
l’Vz'th the ass-z'st'ancc of other Gentlemen.
'1‘ has .o_/iren been remarked, and always with
- ‘truth, that'the people of Connecticut are a
studious and rcflccting people '; that-knowledge
is more generally dilfuscd amongst them, than it
is in any portion of this, or any other country.—
We do not speak of that scientific knowledge,
which has given fame to a Baron, a ./\"t-wtorz, and
a Locke——a Rztten/louse, a Fran/rlin, and a Ru:/z ;
but of that knowledge which gives every man
some ideas upon almost cverysubject.
Newspapers have multiplied in Connecticut,
in proportion to the population, beyond all exam-
ple. 'l hey are cheap and useful vehicles ofcom-
municating details of the passing events ol the
dayg but their columns are chiefly occupied vsith
the advertisements of Merchants, andtthe pro-
ductions of political partizans. If their pages
-are graced with the essays of the moralist and the
scientific scholar, they are generally lost with the
week in which they are presented to the world,
and cannot be regained.
We propose to furnish a Monthly Re/zository,
in which the Ifistorian, the Biogrup/znj, the flgrzl
cultrzralist, the ]l4'am.;/'acturer, the Jwiscellaru 0118
Scholar, and the Poet may deposit the result of
their researches, and the productions of their
genius in a volume where it may be preserv-
ed.
In our Historical De/zartment, we shall endeav-
or to collect and publish such facts concerning
our native country and state, as will be instruct-
ive to the reader, and worthy of preservation.
In our Dr/zartment for Biograjz/ty, we shall
with the utmost assiduity, endeavor to afford our
leaders with brief and authentic Lives of the dc-
ceased, and Memoirs of the living VVorthies of
Connecticut, in the State’, the Clxurclz, the flrmy,
and the fields of Poetry. Connecticut has pro-
duced its full quota of Stalesnu-n, Divim-s, o'cl-
dicrs, and Poets, and their memories ought to be
cherished.
The ./Igrictzllnrcl Dr/zarlment of our ‘Magazine
will occupy a larger space than any other. The
rapidly increasing attention to the all important
subject of agriculture, furnishes a sure prestige
of the rising importance of our highly fertile
state. It must become an ug't‘it:ul‘tut‘al and man-
ufacturing state, or its rank in the union will be
lost—-its active citizens will emigtatc, and its
present cheering aspect will be chzzngcd. fora
melancholy succession of “ Deserted Villages.”
The immense markets at no great distance from
its borders, will always furnish a ready sale and
a high price forgall its surplus animal and vegeta-
ble produce. VVe earnestly invite the scientific
mam, who has fat-niliarized himself with the the-
ory of agric‘ulturc, and particularly the practical
farmer, whose experiments have resulted favora-
bly, to communicate for our Magazine the re-
sult of their researches and experience. The
0l‘g";\l]lZ':tllt)l'l of the r.;ifi'erent ./1grz'cul!m'al Socio-
tz'es—-accounts of their Culrlr-o‘/torus and Ftzirs,
and the bcstowmcnt of premiums upon success-
ful Cumpc:=.l'.0l's, will be entitled to aconspicuous
place in our Journal.
In our 11¢-/zurtnmzt for the .7‘-vfarzvgfaclurer, we
shall insert the c.s~says, accounts of the e.r]zrri-
mcnts anti am/zrovement.v of the ingenious artists
of our isivcnuve country. Sp<—cime‘ns of vali-
ous manufactures, produced at our lztrger estab-
lishmtnts, and in families, have already excited
the admiration of the most competent ju.lges.—-
Manufacture is the hand~maid of Agriculture,
merce.
In our Miscellaneous Defzartment, we shall re-
cord the labors of the investigating reasoner, and
the productions of the g'em:1'al scholar. ‘We
shall endeavor to furnish the reader with that
science which will instruct--that diversity which
will please—-that amusement which is innocent
-—and shall aim to “lzold the mirror wt to na-
ture.”
In our Poetical Defzartment, we shall, with the
exercise of our best judgment, select from the
prolific region before us, the ‘choicest flowers,
whether of native or foreign growth.
' In our Intellz'gence~' we shall publish a brief
monthly summary ofthc most interesting eventsjl
if . publications of the day, in such a manner as we
-large octavo pages, and be Slllcllcd in handsome
gratis .
of passing time,’ in the political and religious
world.
Important State Pajzcits shall have a depzu‘t- ,
ment as occasion requires ; but not a paragraph
upon party politics shall be admitted. That sub-
ject more properly belongs to the weekly Jour-
nals.
Although we shall not assume the character of
“Professional Reviewers,” we shall notice the
think will be" most conducive to the encourage-
ment of native genius.
In these various departments, and others,,t_o
which our work may extend, it will be our unde-
viating aim to mingle useful instruction, with in-
nocent amusement~.« Although we will not pre-
clude ourselves from enriching this Journal with
the choice fruits which the boundless store house
of European Literature affords ; yet, it is our de-
sign to give the prelerence to ./ilmerican genius,
however much our own sc/to/are may be disposed
to depreciate the scientific labors of our own
cozmtrymerz. '
The Editor and Publishers have received the
assurances of the patronage and assistance of ma-
ny of the most eminent "scientific and literary
characters in the state ; "and they most urgently
solicit them to contribute to the work the produc-
tions of their leisure hours ; being Stfnslblt that
a value will thereby be imparted toit, which they
should despair of giving it, by their own unas-
sisted labours. They feel a deep solicttude in
presenting to those who may patronize these pro-
posals, a Mont/zly Journr/1. which shall gr-auly‘
their wishes, and not disgrace the literary char-‘
acter ol‘ the state.
\Ve ofi'er to the Jim-ary C/zarezcters——to the
Farmers-—the Ma nu_/‘ac. an rs-—t he fllerc/Iunttrcmd
Adec/mnics of our native state, the following Pro-
posals, and solicit their patronage.
I The work shall be published monthly. upon
a new and elegant type, and paper of asuperior
quality-—-each ‘number to contain at least 32
covers ; making an annual volume of nearly 400
pages...
ll. The number will be put to subscribers at
the moderate price of twenty-five cents each;
payable for the sixfirst numbers, upon the re- .
ceipt of the 6'.h—-and for the remaining six, up-
on receipt of the l2th. Tothose who pay fora
year in advance, the numbers will be put at twen-
ty cents each.
III. A table of Contents will be published at
the beginning of each number. and an lndex of
an annual volume at the end of the year.
IV. No subscription will be received for less ‘.
than oneyear ; but any person will be at liber- 4
ty to withdraw his subscription, upon payment to
thetime he withdraws. ' -
V. Any person procuring ten sub:-'t:ribers——
distributing the numbers when recei-ed in pack-
ets, and becoming responsible for the payment,
upon the above terms, shall have an eleventh
Six /zer cent of the non profits of this publica-
tion, (should its patronage ali'ord any profit) will
be paid to the Treasurers of the ditierent Agri-
cultural Societies in this state, to be disposed of
in the bestowment of Premiums.
Should the number of subscribers justify the
expense, (which must be considerablt-,) the first
number should be published for January l8 l9.
Should the patronage of the work justify the
adz.-'z'rz'onal expcnse,ihis Magazine will occasional-
ly be ornamented with elegant copper-plate Por-
trait and Lana’.s(:ufzr engravings.
