NRAHAM'S is the oldest and most popular of
" the American Literary Magaziens. Tho
number for January, l843, was the first Of the 35th
volume. Its long aid uniformly successful careers
from its commencement with few hundred subscri
befs, until the present time, when il has circuln-
ton Of $4,000 copies per month, is perhaps as good
an evidence of its great and constantly increasing
merit the publisher has il in his power TO offer.

necessary of his determination 10 maintain its pre-
sent ascendency over all the rival periodicals OF the
country. The engagement, during the past year,
of such men as Bryant, Cooper, Dana, Longfellow,
Hoffman, Mancur, and others OF high reputation in
the literary world, regular contributors, in add
ton TO previous list embracing many OF the first
names in The nation, is a sufficient guarantee that
the work will continue 10 be the principal medium
of communi cation between the best authors and tho
public. Among the attractions OF the 35th volume,
will be TALES by Messrs. Cooper, Grattan, Willis,
Hoffman, Mancur, Herbert, 0Masy Clavers,n Mrs.
Embury, Ellet, and Stephens; POEMS by Messrs.
