career, from its commencement with few hum
bred subscribers, until the present time, when it
has a circulation OF fifty thousand copies month,

creasing merit as the publisher has it in his power
to offer To his old subscribers, he trusts as

SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS
In the department Of Engravings, II is very veil
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 70 have been to maintain a 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. SqrtGiR
and SGdd, the most celebrated MEzzoTIET ENGRA-
I Al - r. IL. I
rope, will continue to furnish their exquisite pro-
auctions; and Rawdon, Wright & Hatch, A. l..
Dick, e. Parker, Gimbrede, Jackman, Jones, and
others, of New York; and Dodson, Welch Wa
tiers, Tucker, and others, of Philadelphia,-aI
among the most eminent LINE ENGRAvERs Of the
present century, have been engaged to furnish a
succession of highly finished steel engravings SUI
perior to any that have hitherto appeared IN peri
odicas. Among the pictures that will be enpra-
we'd for the volume in 843, are several ORIGINAL
PAINTINGS, by Ingham, Imam Cole, -Thomp.
son, Freeman, Franquinet and other distinguished
artists. The American periodicals have hitherto
contained, save in a very few instances, only en-.
cravings copied from foreign prints. The pub.
! fisher of Graham's Magazine will be the first Il
eform the practice, and to make his work strictl,
original in its embellishments as well a. in IL
literary contents.
