number for January, 1913, will be the first of the
35th volume. Its long and universally successful
career, from its acknowledgement with few hun
dred subscribers, until the present time, when il
has circulation of fifty thousand copies month.
is perhaps as good evidence of its great and in
creasng merit as the publisher has il in his power
TO offer. To his old subscribers he trusts no as

Graham's Lady's and Gentlemahs 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 infuerce ana reputation, its pages
will be principally devoted to what susualv term
ed light literature. II will 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-
trtbutors to this are the most eminent authors of
our age and country; the very creators, founders,
OF our National Literature. Especially is it cell
ebrated as containing the choicest productions of
the finest female writer's Of the time. Every num-
ber contains gents which may be appealed to with
pride by the sex as vndicating their intellectual
eminence.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
Intfte department ofEngravings it is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in tfis or 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 features will be introduced. Sartin and Sadd |
the most celebrated Mezzotint Engravers in the |
Union, and equals Of the best in Europe, viii con-
tinue 10 furnish their exqnisite productions. and
Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, G Parker, A L
Dick, Gimbredge, Jackinan, Jones and others,
New York, and Dodson, Wech and Waters,
Tucker and others, of PhiledeIphia-all among the
ry, ha engaged to furnish succession of
highly fnis steele savings, superior to any
thath-ve hitherto appeared in periodicals. Among
the pictures that will be engraved for for the vol
umes in l843, are seversl ORIGINAL PAINTINGS.
by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thompson, Freeman,
Franqune., 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 Gra-
hams Magazine will be the first to reform the
practice, and to make his work strictly original
in its embellishments as well asin its literary co-
tents.
Our PGRTRAIT GALLERy.-One of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes Will be the introduc-
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
nme will include, from the burins of Parker ohm
son and others, portraits engraved in the highest
style of the artl of Mr. Cooper, Professor Lorrfe-
ow, sMaria Del Occidonte.' Mrs Sigouney, Miss
Sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew !
sral others-all from paintings executed expressly
or the purpose.

70 embrace notes current literature etc, end re-
7iews of all new American and foreign works of
general interest or value. The criticisms of Gra-
lam's Magazine acknowledged in all parts or
he country 10 be superior in acumen, honesty and
Independence to those of any contemporary. In
Iced, while majority of the monthly and quar-
erly journals have become mere advertising medi-
ms for for the booksellers, in which every thing
IN print ls lndiscrimirarey praised, this period
cal is looked upon just and discriminating ar
liter between authors and readers, in which both
