rim of anothertalented engraver, Fl. 5. Sadd, Esq
of N. Y. that there may be no disappointment
as to number regularity. These will be equa
to any thing published, SO that we are able con-
fdently to promise.
II Mezzotim In Every .Number.
These beautiful engravines will therefore form
a feature of Graham's Magazine, ia every num-
Der, so 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 a
magazine Of large circulation, in consequence OF
the great price of printing-being more than
double that of line engravings- land the necessl-
ty of redupcating 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 are 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 VIC shall issue in 1912,
an edition of not less than 1908 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 Smile and with A l.. Dick Esq. of
New York; for series ofsplendid engravings, to
be got up in style unsurpassed by any that have
ever been done in this country. The wide spread
iape,efthese artists is sufficient guarantee of
| the character ofthe work we shall receive from
| their hands. So that with such an organization
we may smelly defy competition in the way of
| embellishments, show the world pattern for 9th
els to follow in the way of liberal and judcious
expenditure, and fix IL new era III the history Of
OF magazine publishing i'll this country. 1t is IL
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 genus, taste and Skill.
ELEGANT EaRhss 1ssrd WORK.
An agreement has also been made with that
merltorlous and accomplished artist, +. Qulrre,
Esq fora full supply of tasteful
Embro,dery, Lace Uo,k, Birds ROrers &
landscapes
colored in the most finished and elegant STYLE
This will form an expensive, but popular and at
tractive feature in the work, and with the vaaie-
ty which will be thus introduced, will always
be novel and pleasing,
RICHLY COLORED FASHIONS.
In compliance with the almost unanimous wish
OF our lady subscribers, we shall furnish them
with beautiful and correct plate off'ashions, and
shall also give the STYLE for gentlemen, which
has been decidedly popular with both sexes and
has rendered the work the Text Book of Fashion,
the Union over. These fashion plates will be
drawn from original designs from Paris and
London and may always be depended upon as
the prevailing style i'll Philadelphia and New
York iorthe month in which they are issued.
These however; shall in no wise interfere with
the regular and choice engravings, and music
which accompany each number ofthc magazine;
as we shall not suffer ourselves to be surpassed in
number or beauty of Illustrations by any other
work, but shall maintain the position which we
have assumed of leading all others in the rich
ness, beauty, excellence, and variety of magazine
establishment.
THE LITERARY CHARACTER,
The reputation of the Magazine thus far would
be sufficient guarantee for the future, but that
il may be seen that nothing bas been left undone
to maintain every department of the work and
to elevate the literary, well as the pictorial
department. we leg leave to announce u host o Fl
talented and elegant American writers.
THE List Of Contributors.
In addition to the old contributors whose names
and articles have given high celebrity to the
Magazine, number of new ones are added, of
worth and note, SO that we may fairly say that
we have
The Strength of AMERICAN Talent Eaiis-
bed in The Work.
The distinguished services of a host of anony-
nous writers of no ordinary abilities will give
worth and character to the pages of the Maya
zine. The series of the well known nautical pa
pcrs entitled " Cruising in the Last War; and
"The Refer of 49," have had run unequalled
by any series published in any magazine for years
The author promises to open new series of
H'aaes OF the Sea.
and from his known abilities as a dcpictcr of sea
scenes and life, much may be relied upon from

a variety of choice articles in prose and verse,
from various writers ofcelebrity, as Contributors
to the prominent magazines Of the country.
Stcrling Criticisms
The critical department shall still form distinc-
tive characr Of the work. and is under the con-
troll of IA gentleman of critical Gcumcn and repute
long established, and held every where second to
uonc for sagacty, and an honest. fearle SIS lnde
pendonce. II
The review ofbooks may therefore be expected
be candid and entirely free from the nane putin
which marks the booksellers hack ;but shall bg
thoroughly impartial and severely Just.
SPORTS and PASTIMES
This interesting feature of the Magazine shall,
he preserved as important to young sportsmen
and in fact to all young and old, who delight in
the sports of the rod and the gun. Articles in
this department shall be from acknowledged pens
and of the very best authority.
TIME Of PUBLICATION
The work will be published on the first of the
month in every quarter ofthc Union. The most
distant subscriber will consequently receive it on
that day, as well as those who reside in Phiadel-
phia. In all the principal cities, agents have
been established, to whom the Magazine is for
warded, 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, mportunate, and eventually discontinue
many works in consequence Of the great delay
by publishers.
