HRATIAM'S is the oldest and most popular

number for January, lS43 will be the first of the
35tli volume. Its long and universally successful
career, from its commencement with few hun
dred subscribers, until the present time, when it
has circulation of fifty thousand copies month,
is perhaps as good evidence of its great and in
creasng merit rs the publisherhas it in his power
to Offer To his old subscribers, he trusts no as
surance are necessary of his determination 10
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
embracing many of the first names in the nation, is
a 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 volume. will be
everal TALES by M J. f. Cooper, Mr. Grafton,
Mr. Hoffman,, Mr. Herbert, Miss Leslie, '1Hary
Clarers,' Mrs, Enpbury, Mrs Eklet and Mrs Ste

| Here follows more full list of the names of
contributors, the most distinguished OF the country
which we omit for want of room.
| Graham's Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine
! has been from its establishment more than any
| other the fayorte 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, It's pages
will he principally devoted to what's usually term
ed light literature. II twill be distinguished from
other publications of similar aims by the literary
and artistic merit of It's contents. While those of
| other works unknown or anonymous, the con-
tributors to this are the most eminent authors of
our age and cpHntry; the very creators, founders,
! of our National Literature. Especially Is it cell
ebrated rs containing the choicest productions of
the finest female writers of the time. Every num-
Der contains gems which may be appealed TO with
pride by the sex as vindicating their intellectual
eminence.
| SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
| In tke department ofEpgravings il is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in tits or any 9th
! er country. The highest ambition of rival pub
!
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 Sartin and Sadd
| the most celebrated Mezzotint Engravers in the
Union, and equals of the best in Europe, will con-
tinue 10 furnish their exqnisite predictions: and
| Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, @ Parker, l.
Dick, Gimbredge, JaCkman, ones and others,
| Maui nd Dndsoo Wnlch and Waters.
Tucker and others, of Philadelphia-all among the
most eminent line engrayeTs of the present centu-
nv, have been engaged TO furnish succession ol
highly finished steel engrayings, superior 10 any
thathave hitherto appeared in periodicals. Among
the pictures that will be engraved for for the vol
umes in lS43, 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 engraVings cop
led from foreign prints. The publisher of Ora
ham's 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.
Our PGRTRA1T GALLERY-One of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes lcill 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 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 o.
the country to be superior in acumen, honesty end
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
'n print is indiscriminately praised, this period
, cal is looked upon as just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which both
have implicit confidence.
