The Lady's Choice.
GRAHAM's LADY's & GENrLEMAN's MAGAZINE
has been from its establishment, more than any Of
Their, the favofite periodical of the gentler
Though its plan does entirely exclude articles
of the most important character-such as have iais-
ed BLdcklcOcd'S and some other foreign journals TO
their high influence and reputatiom--its pages will
be princply devoted to what is usually termed light
literature. twill BE- distinguished from other pub
locations of similar aims by the literary and ars
tic merit of its contents. While those Of other
works are unk,loacn anonymous the contributors
TO this are the most eminent authors Of our age and
country; the very creators--founders--o our na-
honGl literature. Especially is it celebrated as
containing the choicest productions of the bnsst
female writers of the time. Every number con-
tains gems which may be appealed to with pride
by the sex, as vindica'ng their intellectual emin-
ence.
Splendid Embellishments.
In the department of Engravings, il is well known
that GRAHAM's MAGAZINE has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in any country
The highest ambition of rival publishers seems thus
far TO have been to maintain respectable imita-
ton of the numerous costly and beautiful works of
art with which the successive numbers of this jour-
nal have been graced In the course of the sue
ceeding volumes many important netc features win
be introduced. Sartan and Sad, the most celebra-
ted Mezzotnt Engraveis in the Union, and equals
of the best in Europe, will continue furnish their
exquisite productions; and Rawdon, Wright &
Hatch, G. Parker, A. l.. Dick, Gmhrede, Jack
man, tones, and others, of New ork, and Cheney,
Dodson, Welch & Walters, Tucker, and others, OF
Phiadelphia--all among the most eminent hnc en-
grGrers of the present century, have been engaged
70 furnish succession of highly finished steel en-
,,a, no..
ed in periodicals. Among the pictures that will
be engraved for the volumes in lS43, are several
Original Paintings by lnghau, Inman, Thompson,
Cole, Freemai, Franquinet, Blanchard, Osgood,
Humphreys, and other distinguished artists. The
American periodicals have hitherto contained, save
in very few instances, only engTavings copied
from foreign prints. The publisher of Graham's
MAGAZINE will be the first to reform the practice,
and make his woIk strictly original in its embel-
lishmenls as wen as in its literary contents.
