TO OUR READERS.
With our next number we commence a new
volume, and now that the Celtic Montldy is tlie
only existing representative of Uigldamd ma^a-
~iiu I'll- niturr, we feel that a great, responsibility
rests upon us, and that our countrymen expert
us to make the CM. worthy of its representative
position, and be a credit to Highlanders. We
are determined to do our utmost to realise this
object, and have arranged a programme for next
volume which, we feel sure, will give every
satisfaction to our readers. The series of line
plate portraits will be continued, and each issue
will contain likenesses of two or three prominent
Highlanders These portraits are real works of
art, calculated to maintain the high reputation
which the CM. has already gained for the ex
cellence of its artistic work.
The series of illustrated sketches on " Highland
Places worth visiting," which we commence in this
issue, u ill ,'ilsn be continued, and w ill embrace such
places of special interest as tona, Staffa, Inverness,
Skye, Lewis, Thurso, Mull, Kintyre, Strathpeffer,
etc. We further intend L'lving illustrated sketches
regarding the clans and other Highland tuples
The general literary features of the magazine will
he carefully attended to, each number conta ng
articles, stones, songs and | ol mi rit, oited
to the tastes of all clftS I ol n ld< 1- "Oui uillM.al
Column " will be specially attractive, as we intend
giving a number of historical melodies associated
with interesting romances. In future we will devote
known Gaelii scholars having kindly promised to
see that this important department is given that
prominence which it deserves. The four extra
panes, which will be added to the magazine, will
permit us to introduce one or two features which
only the limited nature of our space prevented us
from giving effect to before. Mam of our readers
have been disappointed that the proceedings of the
various Highland societies ha\c not Wen noticed
hitherto, and we take this opportunity of in-
viting the secretaries, or friends connected with
these associations, to favour us with reports of the
proceedings. We will resume the "Calendar" of
meetings, and will feel obliged if the office-bearers
of the societies interested would send us a copy of
their syllabus, or particulars regarding the date,
time, place, etc., of their meetings. A page will
also he devoted to "Notes and (.tileries," which,
from the varied nature of its contents, is likely to
prove one of the most interesting features of the
magazine. ( 'aiuanachd will also receive special
attention, and we are arranging to devote a page
to reports of matches and notes on the game, w Inch
will lie conducted by a gentleman well-known in
shin 13 circles. There are other improvements
which we have in contemplation, but we feel
assured that our readers will be well satistied with
the programme which we have already briefly
sketched. We trust that on their part they will
assist us in our efforts by forwarding their annual
subscript ioil ( t posl tree ) at once, and bj 1 com
mending the magazine to their friends. We are
indebted to those members who have already
remitted their subscriptions, and trust that those
