SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department. of EngraVings, it is very we'll
known that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed
any periodical work ever published in this or any
country. The highest ambition of rival publish
eTs seems thus far TO 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. Sartain
and SGdd, the most celebrated MEzzoTINT ENGRA-
VERS IN the Union, and-equals of the best in Eu-

others, OF New York and Dodson, Welch& Va

among the most eminent LINE ENGRAVERs OF the
present century, have been engaged TO furnish
succession of highly finished steel engravings, SUI
perior to any that have hitherto appeared IN peri
odicals. Among tho pictures that will be engra
we'd for the volume in l843, are several ORIGINA Al
PAINTINGS, by lngham, Inman, Cole, Thomp
son, Freeman, Franqulnet and other dlstlngulshet
artists. The American periodicals have hithert

cravings copied from foreign prints. The pub

original in its embellishments as well as in il
literary contents.
