INNRAHAM'S is the oldest and most popular of
IN the American Literary Magazines. The
number for January, l843 will be Ihe first of the
35th volume, Its long and universally successful
career, from its commencement with a few hum
dTed 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
creasng merit as the publisher has il in his power
to offer. To his old subscribers, he trusts no as
sufances 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 as regular
contributors, in addition to previous list embra-
cling many of the first names in the nation, is
sufficient guarantee that the worn will continue
| TO be the principal medium Of communication be-
tween the best authors and the public. Among
the attractions Of the thirty-6fth volume, will be
!, several TALES by Mr.. J. F. Cooper, Mr.. GrGttGn,
Mr. Hoffman, Mr.. Herbert, Miss Leslie, Many Cla-

guished writers, who, it is said, will be contribu-

to insert.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department of Ehgravings, 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 20 have been to maintain 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. SGrtGiH
/, and SGdd, the most celebrated MEzZoTINT ENGR A.
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, ant
! others, of New York; and Dodson, WEIGH & Wa
J. tiers, Tucker, and others, Of Philadelphia,-al
:. among the most eminent LINE ENGRAvERs Of thu
present century, have been engaged 10 furnish
. succession of highly finished steel engravings, su
:, periOr to any that have hitherto appeared IN peri
e Odicals. Among the pictures that will be engra
|, we'd for the volume in l843, are several ORIGINAL
e PAINTINGS, by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thomp
: son, Freeman, Franquinet and other distinguishe
u artists. The American periodicals have hithert
d contained, save in very few instances, only en-
r. cravings copied from foreign prints. The pub
Usher of Graham's Magazine will be the first t
reform the practice, and TO make his work strict
original in its embellishments as well as in ii
literary contents.

q criticisms of Graham's Magazine are acknoW
edged in all parts of this country to be superior
acumen, honesty and independence to those
h any contemporary. Indeed, while majority
- the monthly and quarterly journals have becon
mere advertising mediums for the booksellers,
which every thing in print is indscriminate
praised, this periodical is looked upon ju
no and discriminating arbiter between authors al
OF readers, IN which both have implicit confidence
