ERAHAM'S is the oldest and most popular of
VI the American Literary Magaziens. The
number for January, l8a3, was the first of tho 35h
volume. Its long ahd uniformly successful careers
from its commencement with few hundred subscri-
bers, until the present :ime, when it has eircula-
ton of $4,000 copies pei month"; is perhaps as good
an evidence of its great and constantly increasing
merit, as the publisher has it in his power TO Offer
To ts old subscribers, he trusts, no assurances arc
necessary Of his determination to maintain its pre-
sent ascendency over all the rival periodicals OF tho
country. The engagement, during the past year,
of such mon as Bryant, Cooper, Dana, Longfeilow,
Hoffman, Mancur, and others Of high reputation in
the literary world as regular contributors, in addi-
ton to a previous i.t embracing many Of the fret
names in The nation, is q sufficient guarantee that
the work will continue 10 be the principal medium
of communication between the best authors and mo

Splendid EmbeiIf shmenfs.
In the department of Engravings.i II is well kaawa
that GRAHaMs MAGAZINE has far surpassed any
