ORAHAM's is the oldest and most popular Of
IN the American Literary Magazines. The
number for January, 843, will be the first Of the
35th volume. Its long and uniYe Tsally successful
career, from its commencement with a few hun
dred subscribers, until the present time, when it
has circulation of fifty thousand copies month,
is perhaps as good an evidence of its great and in
creasing merit the publisher has il in his power
to offer. To his old subscribers, he trusts 10 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, regular
contributors, in addition to previous list embra-
cling many OF the first names in the nation, is
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-ifth volume, will be

guish ed writers, who, it is said, will be conirbu-

SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
/ In the department of Engravings, tits 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 publish
ers seems thus far TO 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 i'm
portant new features will be introduced. Sartain
and Sadd, the most celebrated MEzzorINT ENGRA-
vERs in the Union, and equals of the best in Eu-
rope, will continue to furnish their exquisite pro-
auctions; and Rawdon, Wright & Hatch, A. l..
! Dick, g. Parker, Gimbrede, Jackman, Jones, and
others, of New York and Dodson, Wech G Wa
tiers, Tucker, and others, of PHILADELPHIA
among the most eminent LINE ENGRAvERs of the
present century, have been engaged 10 furnish a
succession of highly finished steel engravings SUI
perior any that have hitherto appeared IN peri
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, cave in very few instances, only en-
1 cravings copied from foreign prints. The pub
Usher Of Graham's Magazine will be the first to
eform the practice, and to make his work strictly
original in its embellishments as well as in its
literary contents.
OUR PORTRAIT GALLERY.
/ One of the new features of the coming volumes
will be the introduction of portraits Of the conti-
/ 0UL0TS 20 Ofdn6HbS glElftes WHICH, Oh course
will include nearly all Of the eminent writers Of
the day. The thirty-fith volume will include,
from the burins of Parker, Dodson, and others,
portraits engraved in the highest style of the arD
Of Mr.. Cooper, Prof. Longfellow, Maria del 0c-
cidente,' Mrs. Sigourney, Miss Sedgwick, Mrs.
Seba Smith. Mrs. Embury, and several others-all
from paintings executed expressly for the purpose.
THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT
! Will continue to embrace notes on current litera-
ture, ETC., and reviews Of all new American and
foreign works of general interest or value. The
criticisms Of Graham's Magazine are acknowl-
edged in all parts Of this country to be superior in
acumen, honesty and independence to those of
any contemporary. Indeed, while a majority Of
the monthly and quarterly journals have become
mere advertising mediums for the booksellers, in
which every thing in print is indiscriminately
praised, this periodical is looked upon as Just
and discriminating arbiter between authors and
readers, in which both have implicit confidence.
