SPLENDID EunEIrJsHHEyTe

In the department of Engravings it is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in tfis nr any 9th
or country. The highest ambition of rival pub
fishers seems thus far TO have been TO maiatain a
, 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 features will be introduced. Sartn and Sadd
the most celebrated MezZotint Engravers in the
Union, and equals of the best in Europe, will con
tnue to furnish their exquisite productions! and

the pictures that will be engraved TO
umes in lS43, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS,
| by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thompson, Freeman,
Franqdinet, and other distinguished artists. The
American periodicals have hitherto contained,
save in very few instances, only engravings 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 as well ash its literary con-
/ tents.

THE EDIToRIAL DEPARTMENT will continue
to embrace otes on current literature ETC. and re-
views of all new American and foreign works of
general interest or value. The criticisms of Gra-
hams Magazine are acknowledged in all parts o
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 as just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which both
have implicit confidence.
