volume Its long nhd uniformly successful career.
from its commencement with few hundred subscri
bees, until the presen, time, whom il has eircps-
ton Of $4,000 copies per month, is perhaps as good

of communication between the best authors and the
public. Among the attractions OF the 35th volume,

Their, the favodtc periodical OF the geniler SEX
Though its plan does not entirely exclude artclss
OF the mosl important clfssaier-such rs have iais-

Splendid Embellishments.
In tho department Of Engravings, IL 10 well knows
that GRAnAM's MAGAZINE has far surpassed say
periodical work ever published in any county
The highest ambition Of rival publishers seems thus
far 10 have been TO maintain a respectable imita-
ton OF the numerous costly and beautiful works Of
art with which the successive numbers Of this jour
nal have been graced. IN the course Of tho sue
ceedng volumes many important neu features win
be introduced. Ssrtan and Sad, the most colcbis-
ted Mczzotint Engraveis in tho Union, aud equals
Of the best in Europe, will continue 10 furnish thor
exquisite productions; and Rawdon, Wright g.
Hatch, G.. Parker, A. l.. Dick, Gimbrode, Jack
man, Jones, and others, of New York, and Cheney,
Dodson, Welch a. Walters, Tucker, and others, OF
Philadelphia--all among the most eminent linz IN.
grarey Of tho present century, have been engaged
70 furnish succession Of highly finished steel en-.
cravings superior to any that have hitherto appear
cd in periodicals. Among the pictures that will
be engraved for the volumes 10 1913, arc several
Original Paintings by Ingham, Inmnn, Thompson.
Cole, FTeeniaa, Franquiaet, Blanchard, Osgood,
Humphrey, and other distinguished artists The
American periodicals have hitherto contained, save
in very few instances, only engIavings copied
from foreign prints. The publisher Of Grahsm's
Ma sazine will be the first reform the practice,
and to make his woik strictly original in its embri-
lishmcnts as well as in its literary contents.
