%RAHAM'S is the oldest and most popula

35th volume. Its long and universally successful
career. from its commencement with few hun
dred subscribers, until the present time, when it
has circulation of fifty thousand copies month,
is perhaps as good evidence of its great and in
creasing merit as the publisher has it in his power
to offer. To his old subscribers, he trusts as
surance 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 regulations in the literary world, as

Here follows n more full list of the names of
contributors, the most distinguished of the country
which we omit for want of room.
Graham's Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine
has been from its establishment 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 is usually term
ed light literature. Ii will be distinguished from
other publications. of similar aims by the literary
and artistic merit of its contents. While those of
other works 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 il cell
ebratod containing the choicest productions of
the finest female writer's of the time. Every num-
Der contains gems which may be appealed 90 with
pride by the sex as indicating their Intellectual
ominence.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
Inthc department cfEhgrayings it is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in this or any 9th
er country. The highest ambition of rival pub
fishers seems thus far to have bean to maintan
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. SaTtin and Sadd
the most celebrated Mezzotint Engravers in the
Union. and equals of the best in Europe, will CON
tinue TO furnish their exquisite productions: and
Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, G. Parker, A l.
Dick, Gimbredge, Jacknan, Jones and Others, o
New York, and Dodson, Welch and Waters,
Tucker and others, of Philadelphia-all among the
most eminent line engravers of tho present centu-
~, have been engaged to furnish Il succession OF
highly finished steel engravings, superior to any
thathave hitherto appeared periodicals. Among
the pictures that will be engraved for for the vol
umes in 1913, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS,
by Ingham, Imam, Cole, Thompson, Freeman,
Franquinet, and other distinguished artists. The
American periodicals. have hitherto contained,
save in q very few instances, only engravings cop
led from foreign prints. The publisher of Ora
hams Magazine will be the first to reform the
practice, and to make his work strictly original
in its embellishments we'll as in It's literary con-
tents.
OUR PORTRAIT GALLERY.-One of the new fea-
lures Of the coming volumes lCill be the ntroduc-
tion Of Portraits oil the contributors to GEaham's
all the eminent writers of the day. The 35th vol
nme will include, from the BURNS of Parker, John
SON and Others, portraits engraved in the highest
style of the art of Mr. Cooper, Professor Longfel-
low, Maria Del Occidente.' Mrs Sgourney, 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 re-
views of all new American and foreign works of
general interest or value. The criticisms Of Ora
hams Magazine are acknowledged in all parts o.
the country to be superior in acumen, honesty and
independence to those of any contemporary. In
deed, while 4 majority of the monthly and quar-
terly journals have become mere advertising medi-
ums for for the booksellers, in which every thing
Fin print is ndiscrimnately praised, this period
ical is looked upon just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which both
have implicit confidence.
