BEGINNING OF A NEW VOLUME.

The Number for January, 1863, begins the

Eleventh Volume of the Atlantic Monthly.

From the commencement, in 1857, the ATLANTIC has rapidly increased in circulation, and it now has the largest class of readers since its beginning, five years ago. Its prosperity steadily augments, and it continues, amid all the fluctuations and dangers incident to our national crisis, to gain ground in the estimation of the public. At a time so pregnant with events which touch the future destinies of America in every vital particular, the Publishers and Editors do not deem it necessary to promise that its pages will never swerve from the honest paths of loyal patriotism and universal freedom. Its opinions have always been on the side of Liberty, Progress, and Right, and the course it first adopted in its early career will ever be faithfully maintained.

THE STAFF OF WRITERS regularly contributing to the ATLANTIC MONTHLY embraces all the best known authors in American literature, and warrants the Publishers in promising to its readers

THE BEST ESSAYS,

THE BEST STORIES,

which American talent can furnish.

THE BEST POEMS,

LIST OF REGULAR CONTRIBUTORS.

IN PROSE and POETRY the "Atlantic" Staff of Writers is unequalled. The following authors are still among the regular contributors:

BOUND VOLUMES OF THE ATLANTIC.

FROM THE PHILADELPHIA INQUIRER.
