SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department of Engravings, 1t lie very we'll
known that Greham's Magazine has far surpassed
any periodical work ever published in this or any
country. The highest ambition Of rival publish
eTs seems thus far TO have been to maintain a re-
spectacle imitation of the numerous costly and
beautiful works OF art with which the successive
numbers of this journal have been graced. In
the course of the succeeding volumes, many inn
portant new features will be introduced. SaTt0in
and SGdd, the most celebrated MEzzOTINT ENeRA-
vERS in the Union, and equals Of the best in Eu-
rope, will continue furnish their exquisite pro-
auctions; and Rawdon, Wright & Hatch, A. L.
Dick, q. Parker, Gimbredes Jackman, Jones. and
others, of New York; and Dodson, WeIch & Wa
tiers, Tucker, and others, Of Philadelphia,-all
among the most eminent LINE ENeRAvERs Of the
present century, have been engaged 10 furnish
succession Of highly finished steel engravinQs SUI
peTioT TO any that have hitherto appeared IN peri.
odicals. Among the pictures that will be enOra-
we'd for the volume in l843, are several ORIGINAL
PAINTINGS, by lngham, Inman, Cole, Thomp-
son, Freeman, Franquinet and other distinruished
artists. The American periodicals. have hitherto
contained, save in very few instances, only en-
cravings copied from foreign prints. The pub-
Usher Of Grahamis Magazine will be the frst "a
reform the practice, and 10 make bis work strictly
original IN its embellishments as well as ia tie
literary contents.
