ONRAHAM'S is the oldest and most popular of
IN the American 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 a month";
is perhaps good 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
suTances 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 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-fifth volume, will be
several TALES by Mr.. j. f. Cooper, Mr.. GrGttGn,
Mr. Hoffman, Mr.. Herbert, Miss Leslie, Mary ClG-
rers,' Mrs En16ury, Mrs. ELlet and Mrs. Stephens;
! POEMS by Mr.. Bryant, Mr. Dana, Mr.. LongfelOsO,
Mr.. Street, Mrs. SebG Snlitb, Mrs. Osgood and Mrs
Sigourney; ESSAYS by Mr.. Fay, Mr.. Iuckernean,
Mr. Jones. Mr.. Poe, etc. etc.

guished writers, who, it is said, will be contribu-
tors to this volume; but which we have not room
to insert.

In the department of Engravings, it is very we'll
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.
E spectacle imitation of the numerous costly and
beautiful works of art with which the successive
numbers of this journal have been graced. II
! the course Of the succeeding volumes, many i'm
] pOrtant new features will be introduced SartatY

Il auctions; and Rawdon, Wright g. Hatch, A l.
i Dick, e. Parker, Gimbrede, Jackman, Jones, ant
n others, of New York and Dodson, Welch & Wa

among the most eminent LINE ENGRAvERs of tn
