SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department Of Engravings, it lie very well
Gnown that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed
any periodical work ever published in this or any
country. The highest ambition of rival publish
ers seems thus far TO have been to maintain 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 lm-
portant new features will be introduced. SartGin
and SGdd, the most celebrated MEzzoTINT ENeRA-
vERs in the Union, and equals of the best in Eu-
rope, will continue te furnish their exquisite pro-
| auctions; and RaWdon, Wright & Hatch. "A. L.
Dick, q. Parker, Gimbrede, Jaekman, Jones, and
others, of New York and DOdson, WEIGH & Wa
tiers, Tucker, and others, of Philadelphia,-all
among the most eminent LINE ENeRAvERs Of the
present century, have been engaged TO furnish a
succession of highly finished steel engravings, SUI
peToT to any that have hitherto appeared IN PERI
odicals. Among the pictures that will be engra-
we'd for the volume in l843, are several ORIGINAL
PAINTINGS, by lngham, Inman, Cole, Thomp-
son, Freeman, Franquinet and other distinguished
artists. The American periodicals. have hitherto
contained, save in very few instances, only en-.
cravings copied from foreign prints. The pub
Usher of Graham's Magazine viii be the first K
reform the practice and to make his work strictly
original in its embellishments as well as in it
literary contents.

will be the introduction of portraits Of the cOntTt
bItoTS to GrahGnsS Magazine, which, Of course

cidente,' Mrs. Sgourney, Miss Sedgwick, Mrs

from paintings executed expressly for the purpose
THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT
Will continue to embrace notes on current litera
ture, ETC., and reviews of all new American an
foreign works Of general interest or value. TIL
3 criticisms of GTaham's Magazine are acknowl
edged in all parts of this country to be superior
acumen, honesty and independence to those G
J any contemporary. Indeed, while a majority G
6 the monthly and quarterly journals have becom
. mere advertising mediums for the booksellers, il
which every thing in print is indiscriminatel
praised, this periodical is looked upon as a jus
and discriminating arbiter between authors an
/ readers, in which both have implicit confidence.
