We commence with this number the third volume of the AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN. The magazine will be under the same control as heretofore, the business management being in the hands of JAMESON & MORSE, 164 Clark St., Chicago, Ill., to whom all subscriptions should be sent, the editorial work being under the charge of Rev. STEPHEN D. PEET, of Clinton, Wisconsin. The same variety will be given in subsequent numbers, including Contributions, Correspondence, Editorial Notes, and Book Reviews, and in addition, a special place will be given to the general review of the Literature of Archæology, the review being mostly made up of gleanings or quotations from recent books and magazines. We are expecting some valuable contributions in the line of Aboriginal History, and Early Explorations, also upon Native Traditions and Mythology, and shall endeavor to keep our readers informed in the progress of discovery in the United States, Mexico, and other countries. Our hope is that in the future more attention will be given by our contributors and correspondents to the topographical and geological surroundings and the distinctive points in the relics and monuments and other tokens of each locality, so that an intelligent view may be gained of the whole paleography of this continent. The comparison of American with foreign relics, and a description of their uses, as well as a more general history of the prehistoric and historic arts and inventions, will also be desirable. The same associate editors will continue to have charge of their special departments, Linguistics being assigned to Mr. A. S. Gatschet; Pre-Columbian History to Prof. R. B. Anderson; and Anthropological News to E. A. Barber. Other gentlemen have also engaged to furnish notes and reviews. Prof. John Avery, of Bowdoin College, having consented to furnish items concerning India; Rev. O. D. Miller favoring us with frequent communications on Assyriology and Rev. Selah Merrill, D. D., of Andover, making his specialty the Archæology of Palestine. We are happy to announce that many valuable contributions have already been received. We have no doubt that the Magazine will continue to give as good satisfaction as heretofore, and we predict for it a successful and prosperous future. Subscribers will remember that our terms are $3.00 per Year, Strictly in Advance, and favor us with prompt remittances. STEPHEN D. PEET, Editor. JAMESON & MORSE, Publishers. TESTIMONIALS. Its plan is intelligent and comprehensive.-Literary World. Devoted in all sincerity to honest and thorough work, which is performed with ability and zeal, discussion also being free, with truth as the object.-The Churchman, N. Y. This serial is both interesting and able.-Western Christian Advocate. Any intelligent American may take pride in this publication. It is truly a fact for congratulation that in the midst of our richest antiquarian region, a quarterly is published whose editor is on the continual look-out for discoveries to illustrate the prehistoric events of this continent, and to secure the services of the ripest pens to treat the facts of its ethnology and archæology.-Daily Inter-Ocean. Beautifully printed, as all the Transatlantic magazines are, the AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN is a quarterly publication of especial interest. There is about our European, and especially our British archæology a certain monotony. The novelty of our discoveries is losing its gloss, but Prehistoric America is to us a region of romance and wonder pretty similar to what the New World was to the Elizabethan mariners. Not the least interesting portion of the magazine is the correspondence, in which a number of writers accumulate much curious information regarding burial customs, and give valuable details respecting burial mounds in several parts of the States. The AMERICAN ANTIQUARIAN deserves to be widely known among English readers.-Liverpool Gazette. |
