I" RAHAM's is the Oldest and most popular OF
IN the Americans Literary Magazines. The
number for January, l843, will be the first of the
35th volume. Its long and universally successful
career, from its commencement with few hum
dred subscribers, until the present time, when it
has circulation OF fifty thousand copies month,
is perhaps good an 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
surances 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 in the literary world, as regular
contributors, IN addition to previous list embra-
cling many OF the first names in the nation, is a
sufficient guarantee that the work will continue
to be the principal medium of communication be-
tween the best authors and the public Among
the attractions OF the thirty-ffth volume, will be
several TALES by Mr.. j. F. Cooper, MIR. Grattan,
Mr. Holman, Mr.. Herbert, Miss Leslie, mary Clq-

SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS
In the department of Engravings, it's very well
known that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed
any periodical work ever published in this or any
country. The highest ambition of rival pubiish-
ers seems thus far 10 have been to maintain a re-
spectacle 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 inn
portant new features will beintroduced. Sartain
! and SGdd, the most celebrated MEZzoTINT ENGRA-
vERs in the Union, and equals of the best in Eu-
rope, will continue to furnish their exquisite pro-
ductions; and Rawdon, Wright & Hatch, A. L.
| Dick, q. Parker, Gimbrede, Jackman, Jones. and
| others, of New York; and Dodson, WEIGH & Wa
tiers, Tucker, and others, of PhiIadephia,-all
among the most eminent LINE ENGRAvRRs of the
present century, have been engaged 10 furnish a
succession OF highly finished steel engraving. SUI
perloT to any that have hitherto appeared IN per-
odicals. Among the pictures that will be engra-
we'd for the volume in l843, are several ORIGINAL,
PAINTINGS, by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thomp-
son, freeman, Franquinet and other distinguished
artists. The American periodicals have hitherto
contained, save in very few instances, only en-
cravings copied from foreign prints. The pub
Usher of Grahamas Magazine will be the first to
reform the practice, and TO make his work strictly
original IN It's EMBELLISHMENTS as well in its
| literary contents.

THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT.
Will continue to embrace notes on current Iitera.
ture, ETC., and reviewsof ell new American and
foreign works Of general interest Of value. The
criticisms Of Graham's Magazine are aeknovl-
edged in all parts Of this country to be superior Is
acumen, honesty and independence to those of
any contemporary. Indeed, while majority Of
the monthly and quarterly journals have become
mere advertising mediums for the booksellers. Is
which every thing in print IS Unfortunately
praised, this periodical Is looked upon as s lust
and discriminating arbiter between authors ana
readers, in which both have implicit confidence.
