BOSTON, SATURDAY, JANUARY 9, 1841. PROSPECTUS. WITH the year 1841 the third volume of the Musical Magazine begins. The work will be continued on the same principles on which it has hitherto been conducted. It will be devoted to a true conception of the art in its influence on the mind and soul of man, and of the artist in his feelings and life. It will contain musical information and knowledge, such as our scant musical literature does not furnish. It will contribute to raise the standard of music among us by true but encouraging criticism, and finally, all its contents will refer to the art of music, as they have done hitherto, and in this respect it stands at present alone in the United States, as the only purely musical periodical. Such a work is needed for the art, and it will be a great aid to its progress, if properly supported by those who have this progress at heart. The subscriber is happy to be allowed to say that H. R. Cleveland, Esq. the author of the "Address before the Pierian Sodality at Cambridge," in No. 46 of the second volume, has promised his occasional advice and assistance. The work will also be enriched by occasional contributions from S. A. Eliot, Esq., Rev. J. T. Dwight, and other eminent literary amateurs of music. Such assistance, the subscriber is assured will materially increase the value of the work; and he calls the more confidently on the friends of the art, to give it that support which alone can insure its permanency. To make the work more accessible to all those interested in music it will be for the future put at $2 per year, in advance, and $2,50, if not paid within six months from the time of subscription; and copies of the first two volumes may be had for the same price.
