A few brief notices of the Knickerbocker. from
well known journals are subjoined:
The progress of the Knickerbockcr is still or
ward. 1t is conducted with decided ability, is CO.
pous and varied in its contents, and is printed ina
superior style. At season, we have little spacs
tor literary extracts and cannot, therefore, enable
those of our readers who may not see this Maya
zine, to judge Of its merits otherwise than upon
our assurance that they are of high order."--
New York American.
'We have found in the Knickerbockef so m,icl,
to admire, and SO little to condena, that we hardly
cantrust ourselves to speak of it from frst impress
sIons as we could not do so, without being expect
cd of cxtravagant praise sIt is not surpassed by
any of its contemporaries at home or abroad, 1T
sustains high ground in all the requisites Of
Magazine; and we are pleased 10 see that its merits
arc appreciated abroad as well as at home.'-( Al
bany Argus.

lished for itself n character among the abest and
most entertaining publications in the and.--- New

Che knickerbocker seems to increase in at,rac-
tons as it advances III age. 1t exhibits monthly
variety of contributions, unsurpassed in number or
ability Nat. Int.
sIhe work is in the highest degree creditablcto
the literature of our.country.- Washington Globe.
sWc have read several numbers of this talented
periodical, and rcjoiccd in them. They would do
credit to any country, Or to any state of civiza-
ton to which humanity has yet arrived.'-[ Mar
ryatt's London Metropolitan Magazine.
sThere is no publication among the many we re-
ceive from the Old Country, and from this con,in-
emf, to the receipt of which we look forward with
higher expectation than the Knickerbocker; and
it never disappoints our anticipatons- Quebsc
Mercury.
Its contents are of the real excellence and va
riety. No department is permitted 10 decline, or
to appear in bad contrast with another Phil. lng
