NRAHAM'S is the oldest and most popular of
NJ the American Literary Masaziens. Tho
number for January, 1913, the first Of the 35th
volume. Its long and uniformly successful careers
from its commencement with few hundred subseri
befs until the present time, when 1t has eircula-
ton of 0,000 copies per month, perhaps as good
an evidence of tsgrsat and constantly increasing
merit al the publisher has it in his power TO Offer.
To its old subscribers he trusts, no assurances are
necessary of his determination to maintain its pre-
sent ascendency all the rival periodicals OF the
country. The engagement, during the past year,
of such men as Bryant, Cooper, Dana, Longfolow,
| Hoffman, Mancur, and others OF high reputation IN
the literary world, as regular contributors, ~ add
tion TO previous list embracing many OF the brst
nanes in The nation, is a sufficient guarantee that
| The work will continue TO be the principal medium
of communi caton between the best authors and tho
public. Among the attractions Of the 35th volume,
will be TALES by Messrs. Cooper, Grattan, Willis,
Embury, Ellei, and Stephens; POEMS by Messrs.
Bryant, Dana, Longfeow, Stree, Mrs Seba Smith,
Osgood, and Sigourney; ESSAYS by Messrs. Jones,
Fay, Tuckennan, Poe, etc etc.
The Lady:s Choice.
GRAHAM's LADY's 4 GESTLEMAS's MAGAZINE
has been from its establishment, than any of
Their, the favotie periodical Of the gentler Sex
Though its plan does not entirely exclude articles
oil the most important charartersuch as have iais-
ed BlackW0cd's and some other foreign journals to
their high influence and reputatioi--ts pages will
be prnciply devoted TO what is usually termed light
literature. twill be distinguished from other pub
locations Of similar aims, by the literary and arts-
tic merit of its contents. While those OF other
works uHk'lOscfa nyn,ous, the contributors
10 this are the most eminent authors of our age and
country; the very creators--founders--o our nd-
ttOnGl literature. Especially is il celebrated as
containing the choicest productions Of the finest
female writers of tho time. Every number con-
;ains gems which may be appealed 10 with pride
by the sex, vindicasng their intellectual ernn-
ence.
Splendid Embellishments.
In the department Of Engravings, i, is III known
that GRAHAM's MAGAZINE has far surpassed any
periodical work over published in any eoun,ry.--
The highest ambition Of rival publishers seems thus
far TO have been to maintain respectable imita-
ton OF the numerous costly aud beautiful works Of
art with which the successive numbers OF this jour-
nal have been graced. In the course Of the sue.
ceeding volumes many fn,port0nt nee features win
be introduced Sartan and Sad, the most celebra-
ted Mezzotint EngraveIs in the Union, and equals
of the best in Europe, will continue 10 furnish their
exquisite predictions; and Rawdon, Wright e.
Hatch, G. Parker, A. l.. Dick, Gimhrede, Jack
man, Jones, and others, of New York, and Cheney,
Dodson, Wee Il Walters, Tucker, and others, OF
Phadelphia--all among the most eminent line en-
grFrerS OF the present century, have been engaged
TO Cornish succession of highly finished steel en-
cravings, superior 10 any that have hitherto appear
cd in periodicals. Among the pictures that will
be engraved foI the volumes in lS43, are several
Original Paintings BY Inghau, Inman, Thompson,
Cole, FreemaI, Franquinet, Blanchard, Osgood,
Humphreys, and other distinguished artists. The
American periodicals have hitherto contained, save
in very few instances, only engravings copied
from foreign prints. The publisher Of Graham's
Ma azine viii be the first TO reform the practice,
and to make his woik strictly original in its embs-
lishments as well as in it's literary contents.
Our Portrait Gallery.
One Of the new features Of the corning volumes
will be the introduction OF Portraits of the contri-
butors 10 Graham's Magazine, which, of coarse,
will include nearly all the eminen, writers of the
day. The 35th volume will include, from the bu-
rms of Parker, Dodson, and others, portraits ZEN
graved in the highest style OF the art Of Mr. Coo
per, Professor Longfellow, "sfaria del Occidenie,.
Ms Sgourney, Miss Sedgwiek, Mrs. Seba Smith,
Mrs. Emhury, and several others--all from paint
inss executed expressly for the purpose.
The Editorial Department
VIII continue to embrace notes on current liter
ature, ETC., and reviews Of all new American and
foreign works of general interest or value. The
criticisms OF Graham's Magazine aIe acknowleds4
ed 10 all parts of this country to be superior aen-
men, honesty, and independence to those OF say
contemporary.
