! TRAHAM'S is the oldes. and mos, popular
| " of the American Literary Magazines. The
number for January, 1913. will be the first of the
35th volume. Its long and universally successful
career, from its commencement with few hun
bred subscribers, until the present time, when il
| has circulation of fifty thousand copies a month.
is perhapsa good evidence of its great and in
creasng merit as the publisher has it in his power
to offer. To his old subscribers, he trusts no as
surance are necessary of his determination to
maintain its present ascendancy over all the rival
| periodicals of the country. The engagement, du-
ring the past year, of such men as BRYANT, Coop
| Err, DANA, LoNGFELLow, HOFFMAN, MANCUR,
ETC., of high reputation. i'll the literary world, as
regular contributors, in addition TO previous list
embracing many of the first names in the nation is
n sufficient guarantee that the work will continue
/ to be the principle medium of communication be-
| tween the best authors and the public. Among
the attractions of the thirty-ifth volume, will be

! Here follows Il more full list of the names of
contributors, the most distinguished of the country
which omit for want of room.
| Graham's Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine
has been from its establishment more than any
other the favorite periodical of the greater sex.
| Though its plan does not entirely exclude articles
of the most important character, such as have raj
! sed Blackwood's and some other foreign journals
| to their high influence and reputation, its pages
will be principally devoted to what is usually term
| ed light literature. twill be distinguished from
other publications of similar aims by the literary
and artistic merit of its contents. While those of
| other works are unknown or Anonymous, the con-
trbutors TO this are the most eminent authors of
our age and country; the very creators, founders,
! of our National Literature. Especially is il Gel
ebrated as containing the choicest productions of
| the finest female writers of the time. Every num-
Der contains gems which may be appealed 10 with
| pride by the vindica,ng their intellectual
emneNce.
i---z SpIRSDID- EMBELLISHMENTS
| In the department ofEngravings it is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work published in tfiis nr any 9th
| er country. The highest ambition of rival pub
fishers seems thus far to have been to maintain
| respectable 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 important
new eatures will be introduced. Sartin and Sadd
the most celebrated Mezzotint Engravers in the
Union. and equals of the best in Europe, will CON
tinue TO furnish their exquisite productions: and
Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, G Parker, l.
Dick, Gimbredge, JaCkman, J ones and others, of
New York, and Dodson, WEIGH and Waters,
Tucker and others, of Philadelphia-all among the
most eminent line engravers of the present centu-
~, have been engaged to furnish a succession of
highly finished steel engravings, superior TO any
that have hitherto appeared in periodicals.. Among
the pctUres that will be engraved for for the vol
umes in 1S43, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS,
by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thompson, Freeman,
Franquinet, and other distinguished artists. The
American periodicals have hitherto contained,
save in very few instances, only engravngs cop
led from foreign prints. The publisher of Ora
hams Magazine will be the first to reform the
practice, and to make his work strictly original
in its embellishments well as in its literary
tents.
lures of the coming volumes icll be the introduce
ton of Portraits of the contributors TO Graham's
Magazine, which of course, will include nearly
all the eminent writers of the day. The 35th VOL
ume will include, from the BURNS of Parker, ] ohm
SON and others, portraits engraved in the highest
style of the art of Mr. Cooper, Professor Longfel-
low, Maria Del Occidente,' Mrs Sigourney, Miss
Sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew
eral others-all from paintings executed expressly
for the purpose.
THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT will continue
to embrace notes on current literature etc, and re-
views of all new American and foreign works of
general interest value. The criticisms of Ora
: hams Magazine are acknowledged in all parts
the country to be superior in acumen, honesty and
, independence to those of any contemporary. In
deed, while majority of the monthly and quar-
terly journals have become mere advertising medi-
ums for for the booksellers, in which every thing
sin print is Unfortunately praised, this period
ical is looked upon just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which both
have implicit confidence.
