35th volume. Its long and universally successful

SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department of Engravings, II is very well
Anown 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 10 have been to maintain a re-
speciahle 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. Sartaig
and SGdd, the most celebrated MEzZoTINT EEGR A.
vERs in the Union, and equals Of the best in Eu
rope, will continue to furnish their exquisite pro
ductions; and Rawdon, Wright & Hatch, A. L.
Dick, 6. Parker, Gimbrede, Jackman, Jones, ant
others, of New York; !; and Dodson, Welch & Wa
ters, Tucker, and others, of Philadelphia,-aI
among the most eminent LINE ENGRAvERs of th
I present century, have been engaged 10 furnish
succession Of highly finished steel engravings, su
perior to any that have hitherto appeared IN peri
odcals. Among the pictures that will be engra
we'd for the volume in f843, are several ORIGINAL
PAINTINGS, by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thomp
son, Freeman, Franquinet and other distinguisheC
. artists The American periodicals have hitherto
contained, save in a very few instances, only en-
: cravings copied from foreign prints. The pub
eform the practice, and TO make his work strictly
original in its embellishments as well as in it
literary contents.
