TRAHAM'S is the oldest and most popular
u of the American Literary .Magazines. The
number for January, 1843. will be the first of the
35th volume. Its long and universally successful
career, from its commencement with few hun
dred subscribers, until the present time, when il
has circulation of fifty thousand copies month,
is perhaps good evidence of its great and in
creasing merit the publisher has it in his power
to offer. To his old subscribers, he trusts no as
surance are necessary of his determination 10
maintain its present ascendancy 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
embracing MANY of the first names in the nation, is
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, viii be
everal TALES by Mr. J. +. Cooper, MIR Grafton,
! Mr. HoGran, Mr. Herbert, MIS- Leslie, s.Marv
Cauers,' Mrs, Er,,6atIy, Mrs EIet and Mrs Ste
phens; poems by Mr. Bryant, Mr.. Dana, Mr.
Longteltow, Mr. Street, Mrs Sebc Smith, Mrs
Osgood, and Mrs Sigoo1ney; essays By Mr. Fay,
| Mr. Jones, Mr. Iuckern.an, Mr. Poe, etc. etc.
Here follows more full list of the names of
contributors, the distinguished of the country
| which we omit for want of room.
Graham's Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine
has been from its establishments 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 influence and reputation, its pages
will be principally devoted to what usually term
ed light literature. 1t Twill be distinguished from
other publications Of similar aims by the literary
and artistic merit of its cortents While those of
| other works are unknown or anonymous, the con-
tributors 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 containing the choicest productions of
the finest female writers of the time EveIy num-
Der contains gems which may be appealed to with
pride by the sex as vindicating their intellectual
eminence.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department ofEngraviGgs il is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed anv
periodical work ever published in tfis or any 9th
er country. The highest ambition of rival pub
fishers seems thus far to have been 10 maintain a
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, will con-
tinue 10 furnish their exquisite productions: and
Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, C. Parker, A L
Dick, Gimbredge, Jackman, Jones and others,
New York, and Dodson, Welch and Waters,
Tucker and others, of lphia-all among the
most eminent line engravers of the present centu-
ry, have been engaged to furnish succession of
highly finished steel engravings, superior 10 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 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 well asin its literary con-
tents.
Our PGRTRAIT GALLERY.-One of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes aCl 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
ume will include, from the burins of Parker, Ohm
son and others, portraits engraved in the highest
style of the art of Mr. Cooper, Professor Longfel-
low, Maria Del Occidente.' Mrs Sigourney, Miss
Sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew
eral others-all from paintings executed expressly
for the purpose.
The EDIToRIAL DEPARTMENT will continue
to embrace notes on current literature etc, and
views of all new American and foreign works of
general interest or value. The criticisms of Gra-
hams Magazine are acknowledged in all parts o
the country to be superior in acumen, honesty and
to those of any contemporary. In
deed, while majority Of the monthly and quar-
terly journals have become mere advertising med-
for for the booksellers, in which every thing
sin print is indiscrminately praised, this period
ical is looked upon just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which both
have implicit confidence.
