SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENT.
In the department of Engravlngs, it's
very we'll known that Graham's Maya
z,ne has far surpassed any periodical
work ever published in this or any o'h'
er country. The highest ambition OF rl~
val publishers seems thus tar to nave neen

numerous costly and beautiful WORKS oil

this ,ournal have been graced. In the
course of the succeeding volumes many
irnor,ant new features will be introduced.
Sar,aip and Sadd the most celebrated

century, have been engaged to furnish

strictly original in its embellishments

THE EDlTORIA DEPARTMENT
Will continue TO embrace notes on Gu

American and foreign works of gener
interest or value. The criticisms of CIR
