volume. Its long aid uniformly successful careers
from its commsnc ement with few hundred subscri-
bers until the present time, when it has circula-
lion Of 1000 copies per month, is perhaps as good
| an evidence of its grsa, and constantly increasing

OF the most important character--such as have ais-

literature 1t will be distinguished from other pub
LEGATIONS OF similar aims by the literary and artis-
tic merit OF its contents. While those of other
works are unkroicl or anonymous the contributors
to this are the most eminent authors of age and
| country; the very creators-founders--of our ra-
tioaG! literature. Especially is it celebrated as
containing the choicest productions OF the finest
female writers of the time Every number con-
tains gems which may be appealed 10 with pride
by The sex, as vihdlcatnS their intellectual emin-
eNce.
Splendid Embellishments.
In the department OF Engraving, il swell known
that GRAHAM's MAGAZINE has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in any eounry.--
The highest ambition of rival publishers seems thus
far 10 have been TO maintain respectable imita-
ton Of the numerous costly and beautiful works of
art with which the successive numbers of this jour
nal have been graced. In the course of the sue
| ceeding volumes many important 1eic features win
!
ted Nezzotnt EngraveIs in tine Unon, and equals
OF the best in Europe will continue 10 furnish their
exquisite productions; and Rawdon, Wright &
Hatch, G. Parker, A. l.. Dick, Gmhrede, Jack
naA, Jones, and others, Of New Y ok, and Cheney,
Dodson, Weleh 81 Walters, Tucker, and others, OF
fhllade phia--alI among the eminent lifte en-
STdrers OF the present, century, have been engaged
10 iuIhis 81 succession of highly finished steel en-
Cravings, superior to any that have hitherto appear
Ell in periodicals. Among the pictUres thai viii
be engraved fof the volumes in lS43, are several
O1glnG! Paintings by lnghauI, lnman, Thompson,
Cole, FrsemaL, Franquihet, Blanchard, Osgood,
Humphreys, aud other distinguished artists. Tie
American periodicals have hitherto contained, save
in very few instances, only engravings copied
from foreign prints. The publisher Of Graham's
Ma azihe will be the first TO reform the practice,
and make his woIk strictly original in its embel-
lishnenIs as well as in its literary contents.
