rim of another talented engraver, II. s. Sadd, Esq.
of N. Y that there may be no disappointment
as to number or regularity. These will be equal
to any thing published, so that we are able con-
hdently to promise.
Il .Mez=otint in Epery Number.
These beautiful engravings will therefore form
feature of Graham's Magazine, in every num-
ber so that 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-bcing more than
double that of line engravings-and the necess-
ty of reduplicating the plates; our edition area-
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 we shall issue in 1912,
an edition of not less than $4,000 copies monthly,
and saall soon have an edition unequaied 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 ofsplendd engravings, to
be got up in style unsurpassed by any that have
ever been done in this country. The wide spread
the character ofthe 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 a pattern for 9TH
ers to follow in the way of liDeral and judicous
expenditure, and fix new era 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 to
compare with or be preferred, to the beautiful
creations of their genius, taste and skill.
ELEGANT Embossed WORK.
An agreemen. has also been made with that
mcrlorious and accomplished artist, F. Quarrc,
Esq. for fall supply of tasteful
Embroidery, Lace Wo1k, Birds GorcrS s
Landscapes,
colorcd in the most finished and elegant STYLE
This will form an expensive, but popular and at
tactve feature in the work, and with the vaac-
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 of Fashions, and
shall also g i've the style, for gentlemen, which
has been decidedly popular with both sexes, and
has rendered the work the Textbook 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 in Philadelphia and New
York torthc 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 OF the magazine;
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 tho rich
ness beauty, excellence, and variety ofmagazine
establishment.
THE LITER AIRY 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 depa rtmcnt of the work, and
to elevate the literary, as well as the pictorial
department, we beg leave to announce a host o f
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, q number of new ones added, of
worth and note, that we may fairly say that
we have
The Strength Of AMERICAN Talent Eniis-
bed in the Hork.
The distinguished services of 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 we'll known nautical pa
pers entitled Cruising in the Last War; and
'1hc Recicr of 16,' have had a run unequalcd
by any series published in any magazine for years.
The author promises to open new series OF
Tales Of the Sea.
and from his known abilities as a depcter of sea
scenes and life, much may be relied upon from
him in maintaining the popularity of the maya
zine. Papers may be expected during the vol
n ISp pf bp uvplk
ticIes entitled" The Log of Old lronsidc", beside
variety of choice articles in prose and verse,
from various writers otcelebrlty, as Contributors
TO the prominent magazines Of the country.
Sterling Criticisms.
The critical department shall still form distinc-
tive character Of the work, and is under the con-
troll of Il gentleman Of critical acumen and repute
long established, and held every where second to
uonc for sagacity, and an honest. fearless nde-
pendonce.
The review ofbooks may therefore be expected TO
be candid and entirely free from the putting
which marks the booksellers hack;but shall be
thoroughly impartial and severely just.
SPORTS and PASTnNES
This interesting feature of the Magazine shall
be preserved as important to young sportsmcn
and in fact to all young and DID, 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 of the Union. The most
distant subscriber will consequently receive it on
that day, well as those who reside in Phiadcl-
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
thew NAV he delivered a resident SubSc rihnrs IN
the first of the month. This is an important ar
! rangement to distant subscribers, who become
tired, importunate, and eventually discontinue
many works, in consequence Of the great delay
by publishers.
