The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1841-12-18

Is to number regularity. These will be equal
70 any thing published, SO that we are able con-
idently to promise.
A Mezzotim in Every .Num6er..
These beautiful engravrgs willtherefere form
a feature of Graham's Magazine, in every num-
Der, that we shall be able to distance any thing
like competition on this ground. These plates
are the most expensive that can be got up for
magazine Of large circulation, in consequence of
the great price of printing--being more than
double that of line engravings-and the necessi-
ty of reduplicatng the plates; our edition alrea-
dy rendering it necessary that two or three plates
Of the same subject must be prepared tor every
number in which they used. We now print
an edition greater than that of any contemporary
for the last year, and confidently assert that at
the same rate of increase we shall issue in 1912,
an edition of not less than 5000 copies monthly,
and saall soon have an edition unequalled in the
history of magazine publishing.
Our Splendid STEEL Engrarings.
We have also entered into distinct and per-
manent arrangement with Rowdon. Wright,
Hatch and Smillie and with A l.. Dick Esq. Of
New York, fora series ofsplendd engravings, to
be got up in stpl unsurpassed by any that have
ever been done in this country. The wide spread
fame of'thesc artists is sufficient guarantee of
the character the work we shall receive from
their hands. So that with such an organization,
we may safely defy competition in the way of
embellishments, show the world pattern for 9TH |
els to follow in the way of liberal and judicious
expenditure, and fix new III the history of
of magazine publishing in this country. 1t is a
libel upon American artists TO presume that the
worn out plates of old English Annals ,are to
compare with or be preferred, to the beautiful
creations OF their genius, taste and skill.

TINE Of PUBLICATION
The work will be published on the first Of the
month IN every quarter ofthe Union. The most
distant subscriber will consequently receive it on
that day, us well as those who reside in Philadc-
phia. In all the principal cities, agents have
been established, to whom the Magazine is for
wardcd, prior TO the time of issuing it, so that
they may be delivered to resident subscribers on
the first Of the month. This is an important ar
rangement to distant subscribers, who become
tired, importunatc, and eventually discontinue
many works, in consequence of the great delay
