THE LITERARY GAZETTE
IS ENLARGED,
FOR THE PURPOSES OF
SCIENCE, FINE ARTS, MUSIC, AND THE DRAMA.
The Proprietors of "THE LITERARY GAZETTE," impressed with a conviction that it was not possible to treat efficiently of Literature, Science, Fine Arts, Music, and the Drama, within the limits of a paper of sixteen pages, resolved, at the commencement of their undertaking in January last, to devote the Journal exclusively to the interests of Literature. As the season arrived for the Exhibitions of Pictures, it was found necessary, in compliance with the wishes of many Subscribers, to give Critical Notices of them; but these were insufficient to mark the progress of Fine Arts, while they intrenched upon the space intended for Literature. The insertion of Reviews of Scientific Works elicited also complaints that the Reports of the Learned Societies should have been relinquished, and it has been felt that a weekly record of the progress of Science is still a desideratum.
Encouraged by the success that has attended their efforts in the department of Literature (the circulation of "THE LITERARY GAZETTE," notwithstanding these deficiencies, having been more than doubled), the Proprietors have determined to enlarge their Journal to twenty-four pages, and to devote the additional space to special departments of Science, Fine Arts, Music, and the Drama.
The contents of "THE LITERARY GAZETTE" will henceforth be arranged as follows:—
REVIEWS.—Critical Reviews, with extracts of all important new English Works, and occasionally of Foreign Works.
