The object of this journal will be to studiously pro- 
mote a healthful interest in outdoor recreation, and to 
cultivate a refined taste for natural objects. We es- 
pecially desire to make the Forrest AND STREAM the 
recognised medium of communication between ama- 
teurs and professional sportsmen. All of us have 
something to impart, whicf if made available to each 
other, willin time render us proficient in all those 
several branches of physical culture which are absolute- 
ly essential to our manhood and well-being, both as in- 
dividual men and asa nation. A practical knowledge 
of natural history must of necessity underlie all at- 
tainments which combine to make a thorough sports- 
man, Itis not sufficient that aman should be able 
to knock oyer his birds dexterously right and left, or 
cast an inimitable fly. He must learn by study and 
experience the haunts and habits of the game or fish 
he seeks. If he depend altogether upon his dog’s 
nose, or upon his henchmen, he will some day have 
to retire from the field’ in’ mortification and dis- 
grace. Therefore it is that we shall study to give 
practical instruction in the most attractive depart- 
ments of natural history. We shall not forget the 
technicalities of the craft either, but take pleasure in 
designating the best localities for hunting and fishing, 
outfits, implements, remedies, routes, distances, breeds 
of dogs, &c. Each number will contain a paper de- 
scriptive of a particular animal, bird, or fish, with some 
instruction as to its habits, haunts and mode of cap- 
ture, and the period when it isin season. We have 
arranged to receive regular weekly reports of the fish- 
ing and shooting mm various parts of the country. 
Yachting and boating will be encouraged, and yacht 
news be made an especial feature of the paper. A 
reasonable space will be given to athletic sports and 
those out-door games in which ladies can participate. 
In a word, every description of game that is in vogue 
among respectable people, and of value as a health- 
giving agent or recreative amusement, will be consid- 
ered and its practice encouraged. Nothing that de- 
moralizes or brutalizes, nothing that is regarded as 
“sport”? by that low order of beings who, in their in- 
stincts are but a grade higher than the creatures they 
train to amuse them, will find favor in these columns. 
To horse news we shali devote some space, giving a 
record of leading races and meetings and current 
events, but we shall not make it a feature of this jour- 
nal. We leave this department to others, much more 
competent than ourselves, who are recognised through- 
out the country as exponents of the turf, and as au- 
thority in stock, pedigree and kind. We yield to no 
one, however, in our love and appreciation of the horse 
und his estimable qualities. The noblest of all ani- 
mals, and the companion alike of men of high and 
low degree, he has never become contaminated by the 
moral atmosphere by which he is often surrounded, or 
degraded below the high rank to which his attributes 
entitle and assign him. 
To the forest, lawn and garden we assign full place. 
For the preservation of our rapidly diminishing for- 
ests we shall continually do battle. Our great inter- 
ests arein jeopardy—even our supply of drinking wa- 
teris threatened, from the depletion of our timber- 
lands by fire and axe. It is but proper to state here 
that the gentleman in charge of this department is 
the well-known ‘‘Olipod Quill,” who was connected 
with the Agriculturist newspaper from the start, and a 
co-laborer with the lamented Downing for many years. 
Much valuable information will be found in this de- 
partment. 
Our military department is intended to comprise 
merely a weekly summary of news for officers and 
soldiers upon the frontier—such news as the casta- 
ways would enjoy to receive in a ‘letter from home;” 
and we trust that many of them will be inclined to 
send us in return some account of their hairbreadth 
experiences among the Indians, the buffaloes, the griz- 
zlies and the antelopes. We of the East are not 
thoroughly familiar with the varied species of game 
in the far Northwest, and would like to receive full 
information especially of the numerous Cervus family 
and of the Rocky Mountain sheep.. This department 
is under the charge of a distinguished army officer. 
Our dramatic and art column will be prepared by 
Colonel T. B. Thorpe, and must at once become popu 
lar with all our readers who are interested in these 
matters. We shall occupy an independent position 
and throw our offorts in behalf of competent reform, 
We shall perhaps even clamor for it. 
Our columns will always contain the cream of the 
atest foreign sporting news. 
In a word, we are prepared to print a dive paper and 
a aseful one. We shall not be parsimonious in secur 
ing the best material for its columns. We are con 
vinced that there is a standard of eminence and useful 
ness not yet fully attained by any sporting journals 
in this country. To this we aspire. It will be our am- 
bition to excel; and we have relinquished a life of ease 
and semi-indolence to take charge of the enterprise. 
This not of our own free choice, but at the solicitation 
of many hundreds of friends and strangers. We are 
ably assisted in our labors by a corps of valuable as- 
sociates—men of-age and experience, all of whom, with 
single exception, haye been identified with leading 
journals for years.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. 
“The Sanitary question is now uppermost in the 
public mind, and it is gratifying to see that the dis- 
cussion of it Is not going to be kept as a “mystery”? in 
the medical profession, Every human being is con- 
cerned in this matter; and if Sanitary science has any 
sugsestions to make, they must be made directly to 
the people themselves, This is what the periodical 
before us aims to do, and this it 1s doing well.”*—Pop- 
ular Science Monthly. 

“As its name implies, Tum SANTTARIAN is devoted 
entirely to Sanitary Science, in its hberal and proper 
sense. The field it occupies is a most important one, 
and the editor admirably qualified for the work he has 
undertaken.”’— Medical Examiner. 
“Consistent with his announcement, Dr. Bell seems 
to have spared no pains to secure for the Journal the 
continued approbation of the public, by treating, ina 
clear yet comprehensive manner, of subjects with 
which the public are directly interested, and the im- 
portance of which cannot be overestimated.’’— A pple- 
tons Journal. 
“This is a Monthly Journal, containing original es- 
says on various Sanitary topics, by some of our most 
prominent medical scholars, popular enough to be 
read with profit by every person who reads, and 
learned enough to be of great interest to medical men. 
It ought to be read and preserved by every family, be- 
cause it teaches how to avoid numerous causes of 
disease, and to support health and vigor.”—The Isra- 
elite, 
“A thorough-going Health Journul—not the cheap 
popular thing which generally goes current under 
that title, but a substantial register of Sanitary knowl- 
edge and science.”’— Christian Standard. 
“Of amuch higher grade than is common to our 
health publications.’’— }¥atchman and Reflector. 
“THE SANITARIAN ought td be in every family on 
account of the practi¢al common sense manner in 
which it treats questions of public and private health,” 
—The National.

APPLETON’S | 
American Cyclopaedia. 
NEW REVISED EDITION. 
Entirely re-written by the ablest writers on every sub- 
ject: Printed from new type, and illustrated 
with Several Thousand Engrayings and Maps. 


The work originally published under the title of 
Tur New AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA was completed in 
1863, since which time the wide circulation which it 
has attained in all parts of the United States, and the 
signal developments which have taken place in every 
branch of science, literature and art, have induced the 
editors and ‘publishers to submit it to an exact and 
thorough revision, and to issue a new edition entitled 
THE AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA. 
Within the last ten years the progress of discovery 
in every department of knowledge has made anew 
work of reference an imperative want. 
The movement of political afiairs has kept pace 
with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful ap- 
plication to the industrial and useful arts and the con- 
venience and refinement of social life, Great wars 
and consequent revolutions haye occurred, involving 
national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war 
of our own country, which was at its height when the 
last volume of the old work appeared, has happily 
been ended, and anew course of commercial and in- 
dustrial acitvity has commenced. 
Large accessions to our geographical knowledge 
have een made by the indefatigable explorers of 
Africa. 
The great political revolutions of the last decade, 
with the natural result of the lapse of time, have 
brought into public view a multitude of new men, 
whose names are in everyone’s mouth, and of whose 
lives every one is curious to know the particulars. 
Great battles have been fought and important sieges 
maintained, of which the details are as yet preserved 
only in the newspapers or in the transient publications 
of the day, but which ought now to take their place in 
permanent and authentic history. 
In preparing the present edition for the press, it has 
accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down 
the information to the latest possible. dates, and to 
furnish an accurate account of the most recent dis- 
coveries in science, of every fresh productiou 1m liter 
ature, and of the newest inventions in. the-practical 
arts, as well as to give a succinct and original record 
of the progress of political and historical events. 
The work has been begun after long and careful pre- 
liminary labor, and with the most ample resources for 
carrying it on to a successful termination. 
None of the original stereotype plates have becn 
used, but every page has been printed on new type, 
forming in fact a new Cyclopzdia, with the same plan 
and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater 
pecuniary expenditure, and with such improvements 
in its composition as have been suggested by longer 
experience and enlarged knowledge. 
The illustrations which are introduced for the first 
time in the present edition have been added not for 
the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity 
and force to the explanations in, the text. They em- 
brace all branches of science and of natural history, 
and depict the most famous and remarkable features 
of scenery, architecture and art, as well as the various 
processes of mechanics and manufactures, Although in- 
tended for instruction rather than embellishment, no 
pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence 
the cost of their execution is enormous, andit is be- 
lieved they will find a welcome reception as an admi- 
rable feature of the Cyclopedia, and worthy of its 
high character. ; 
This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on 
delivery of each volume. 
teen large octavo volumes, each containing about 800 
ages, fully illustrated with several thousand Wood 
Rapvines: and with numerous colored Lithographic 
Maps. 
PRICE AND STYLE OF BINDING. 

Three volumes now ready. Succeeding volumes, 
until completed, will be issued once in two months.
