To the foregoing particulars, the publishers would
only add, that at no period since the work passed
into their hands, have its literary capabilities and
prospects been 80 ample and auspicous at press
ent; and that not only the same exer,ions be con-
trbuted, which have secured to their subscription
fist an unexampled increase, but their claims upon
| the public favoi will be enhanced by every means
which increasing ondeayor, enlarged facilities, and
/ liberal q and ynrL
numbers have been reprinted to supply Vol. Q, and
] 5000 copies of Vol. 10 will be printed to meet
the demands of our new subscribers. The work is
now SO fully established in the public regard as to
be beyond the reach of any contingency which can
affect It's pernsancnce. Increased encouragement,
however, wcald still enable the publishers to add
to the enjoyment of their readers Aud they
readily promise, that i'll al equal ratio with the en-
hancement OF their ability, through the iberaity
OF the public, shall be their eBectipe labors. If
each subscriber TO the work, who has derived pleas
urc from its perusal, would send us one or more
names, Ga not difficult task, it is confidently be-
lieved,) the publishers can safely affirm, that no
periodical, foreign or domestic, will be- permitted
to exceed in variety and interest the knckerbocker
Magazine.

slhe progress of the knickerbocker is still on

for literary extracts, and cannot thoroiorc enable
those of our readers who may not see this Maga-

our assurance thar they arc of high order.''--
