RAHAM'S is the Oldest and most ponuIa r
N of the American Literary Magazines. The
number for January, le13 will be the first of the
35th volume. Its long and universally successful
career, from its commencement with few hun
dred subscribers, until the present time, when it
has a circulation of fifty thousand copies a month";
is perhaps as good evidence of its great aud in
creasing merit as the publisher has it in his power
to offer. To his old subscribers, he trusts no as
surance are necessary of his determination TO
maintain its present ascendancy over all the rival
periodicals of the country. The engagement, du-

Graham's Ladb'a and Gentleman's Magazine
has been from its establishment more than any
other the ravorito periodical of the greater SEX
Though its plan does not entirely exclude articles
OF the most important character, such have raj
sed Blackwood's and some other foreign journals
to their high influence and reputation, IFS pages
will be principally devoted TO what's usually term
ed light literature. twill be distinguished from
other publications of similar aims by the literary
and artistic merit of It's contents. While those of
other works are unknown or anonymous, the con-
trbutors to this are the most eminent authors OF
our age and country; the very creators, founders
OF our National Literature. Especially is il cell
ebrated as containing the choicest productions of
the finest female writers of the time Every nun
Der contains gems which may be appealed to with
pride by the sex as viadicating their intellectual
eminence.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department ofEngravings it is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any |
periodical work ever published in tits or any 9th /
or country. The highest ambition of rival pub /
fishers seems thus far to have been to maintain n
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 viii beintroduced. Sariin and Sadd !
the most celebrated Mezzotint Engravers in the
Union, and equals of the best in Europe, will con-
tinue 10 furnish their exquisite productions: and
Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, 6 Parker, A l.
Dick, Gimbredge, ] aCknan, Jones and others, |
New York, and Dodson, Welch and Waters.
Tucker and others, of Phladelp hid-all among the
most eminent line engravers of the present centu-
ry, have been engaged to furnish a succession of
highly finished steel engfavings, superior TO any
hathave hitherto appeared i'll periodicals. Among
The pictures that will be engraved for fer the vol
INES in lS43, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS, |
by lngham, Inman, Cole, Thompson, Freeman,
Franquinet, and other distinguished artists. The
American periodicals have hitherto contained,
ave in a very few instances, only engravings cop
ed from foreign prints. The publisher of Ora
lam's Magazine will be the first to reform the
practice, and to make his work strictly original
n its embellishments as well sin its literary con-
ents.
OuR PORTRAIT GALLERY.-One of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes ,Cill be the introduc-
ion of Portraits of the contributors to Graham's
Magazine; which of course, will include nearly
Ill the eminent writers of the day. The 35th vol
lime will include from the BURNS of Parker, Ohm
ton and others, portraits tengraved in the highest
style Of the art of Mr. Cooper, Professor Longfel-
ow, 'Maria Del Occdente.' Mrs Sigourney, Miss
sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew
stsl others-all from paintings executed expressly
or the purpose.
THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT will continue
10 embrace notes current literature etc, and re-
views of all new American and foreign works of
general interest value. The criticisms of Ora
1am's Magazine are acknowledged in all parts 0
Inc country to be superior in acuflen, honesty and
Independence to those of any contemporary. In
Iced, while majority of the monthly and quat-
erly journals have become mere advertising medi-
inns for for the booksellers, in which every thing
in print is indscriminately praised, this period
cal is looked upon as just ard discriminating ar
liter between authors and readers, in which both
rave implicit confidence.
