" fifth volume. Its long and uni.
formIy successful career, from its
commencement with a few hundred

fell m, Hoffman, Mancur and others,

the work will continue to be the prIn-
cipaI medium OF communication be-

SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department Of Engravings.
it is well known that Graham's Maya.
zine has far surpassed any periodical
work ever published in this or any
other country. The highest ambi-
ton of rival publishers seems thus
