SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
! In the department of Engrayngs, 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 10 have been to maintain re-
n 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 inn
portant new features will be introduced. Sdrtain
and Sadd, the most celebrated MEzzoTINT ENGRA-
vERs in the Union, and equals of the best in Eu-
rope, will continue to furnish their exquisite pro-
auctions; and Rawdon, Wright g. Hatch, A. L.
Dick, g. Parker, Gimbrede, Jackman, Jones, and
others, of New York; and Dodson, WEIGH & Wa,
tiers, Tucker, and others, Of Philadephia,-al
among the most eminent LINE ENGRAvERs Of the
present century, have been engaged 10 furnish
succession of highly finished steel engravings su
: perOr to any that have hitherto appeared n peri
! odicals Among the pictures that will be engra
we'd for the volume in l943, are several ORIGINAL
PAINTINGS by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thomp

reform the practice, and make his work strictl
J, original in its embellishments as well as in it
d literary contents.
