TRAHAM'S is the oldest and mos, popular of
VI the American Literary Magaziens. Tho
number for January, l8i3, was the first of the 35th
Volume. Its long ahd uniformly successful career,
from its commencement with few hundred subscri

ton Of so 900 copies per month, is perhaps as good
evidence of its great and constantly increasing

The Lady's Choice.
GRAHAM's LADy's & GENTLEMAN's MAGAZINE
has been from its Enlistment, more than any o.
Their, the favo'ite periodical of the gentler Sex
Though its plan does entirely exclude articles
of the most important character-such as have las-
ed Biackwocd's and some other foreign journals to
their high influence and reputation--its pages will
be priDcpy devoted to what is usually termed light
Literature. 1t will be distinguished from other pub
locations of similar aims, by the literary aud ariis
tic merit of its contents. While those Of other
works are iakno,cs anonymous, the contributors
to this are the most eminent authors of age and
country; the very creators-founders--of our ma
tional literature. Especially is it celebrated as
containing the choices, productions OF the fines,
female writers OF the time. Every number
taIns gems which may be appealed to with prido
by the sex, as vndicaIing their intellec ual emn-
ence.
Splendid Embeliishcl cnts.
| In the department Of Engraving, tits well known
that GRAHAM's MAGAZINE has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published Ia any county,
The highest ambition OF rival publishers seems thus
lar TO have been 10 maintain respectable mta-
tion OF the numerous costly and beautiful works of
art with which the successive numbers OF this Jour
nal nave oeen STaced. In the course OF the sue
| ceedng volumes many important Yee features will
be introduced. Sartan and Sad. the most celebra-
ted Mezzont Engraveis in the Union, and equals
OF the best IN Europe, will continue furnish their
exquFsi;e productions; and Rawdon, Wright d.
Hatch, G. Parker, A. L. Dick, Gimhrede, Jack
man, Jones, and o.heTs, of New York, and Cheney,
Dodson, WEIGH & Walters, Tucker, and others, OF
fhiladeiphia--ali among the most eminent line en-
grarers OF the presen, century, have been engaged
10 lurnsh succession of highly finished steel en-
cravings, superior to that have hitherto appear
ed in periodicals. Among the pictures thai will
be engraved fof the volumes in 1913, are several
Original Fainttngs by Ingham, Inman, Thompson,
Cole, Fireman., Franquhet, Blanchard, Osgood,
Humphreys, and other distinguished artists. The
American periodicals have hitherto contained save
in very few instances, only engravings copied
from foreign prints. The publisher Of Grahan's
Magazine viii be the first to reform the practice,
and to make his woIk strictly original in its embel
ishmenIs as well as IN its literary contents.
