TRAHAAf'S is the oldest and most popular
" of the American Literary Magazines The
number for January, l643. will be the first of the
35th volume. Its long and universally successful
! career, from its commencement with a few hun
dred subscribers, until the present time, when il
has circulation of fifty thousand copies month,
is perhaps as good an evidence of its great and in
creasing merit as the publisher has il 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 snch men as BRYANT, CooP-
Err, DANA, LoNGFELLow, HOFFMAN, MANCUR,
ETC., of high regulations in the literary world,
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-fifth volume, will be
several TALES by Mr. J. F. Cooper, Mr. Grafton,
Mr. Hoffman, Mr. Herbert, Miss Leslie, Mary
CtGrers,' Mrs, En1bury, Mrs ELlet and Mrs Ste
phens; poems By Mr. Bryant, Mr. Dana, Mr.
! Osg0od, and Mrs Sigourney; essays by Mr. Fay,
Mr. Jones, Mr. IuckernoGn, Mr. Poe, etc. etc.
Here follows a 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 faTorte periodical of the greater sex.
Though its plan does not entirely exclude articles
of the most important character, such have raj
sed Blackwood's and some other foreign journals
to their high influence and reputation, its pages
will be Principally devoted to what is usually 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-
tributors to this 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 writers of the time. Every num-
Der contains gems which may be appealed 10 with
pride by the sex as indicating their Intellectual
eminence.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
! In the department ofEpgravings il is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work over published in tiis nr any 9th
! er country. The highest ambition of rival pub
fishers seems thus far to have been to mal@tain a
respectable imitation of the Numerous costly and
I beautiful works of art with which the successive
! numbers of this journal have been gracad. In the
course of the succeeding volumes many important
| new features will be introduced. Sartin and Sadd
thu most celebrated Mezzotint EngraveIs in the
Union, and equals of the best in Europe, will con-
tinue to furnish their exquisite predictions: and
Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, G Parker, 4 L
| Dick, Gimbredge, Jackman, Jones and others, OF
| New York, and Dodson, WEIGH and w aters,
Tucker and others, of Philadelphia-all among the
most eminent line engravers of the present centu-
~, have been engaged to furnish a succession OF
highly finished steel engravings, superior TO 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 n very few instances, only engravings cop
led from foreign prints. The Publisher of Ora.
hams Magazine will be the first to reform tht
practice. and to make his work strictly origina
in its embellishments as well as in its literary con
tents.
OuR PGRTRAlr GALLERY-One Of the new fea.
lures of the coming volumes acill be the introduce
ton of Portraits of the contributors to Graham''
Magazine, which of course, will include nearly
all the eminent writers of the day. The 3lth vol
ume will include, from the BURNS of Parker, John
son and Others, portraits engraved in the highes
style of the art of Mr. Cooper, Professor Longfel-
low, Maria Del Occidente,' Mrs Sigou ney, Mis-!
Sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew.
eral othars-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 o
general interest or value The criticisms of Ora
hams Magazine are acknowledged in all parts o
the country TO be superior in acumen, honesty ane
independence to those of any contemporary. In
deed, while a majority of the monthly and quar-
terly journals have become mere advertising medi
ums for for the booksellers, in which every thing
lin 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.
