NRAHAM'S is the oldest and most popular OF
| " the American Literary Mogazens. Tho
number for January, lSi3 was the first OF the Both
volume. Its long ahd uniformly successful careers
| from its commencement with few hundred suoscrt
befs, until tho present time, when II has circua-
ton of st, 900 copies per month, Is perhaps as good
an evidence Of its great and constantly increasing
merit the publisher has II III hispower TO oner.
To its old subscribers, he trusts, no assurances are
necessary Of his determination TO maintain its pre-
sent ascendency over all the rival periodicals Of the
country The engagement, during the past year,
of such mon as Bryant, Cooper, Dana, LoDgfellow,
Hoffman, Mancur, and Others of high reputation In
tho literary world, as regular confr1onfors ~ add
ton 10 a previous list embracing many OF the hrst
pames in The nation, is sufficient guarantee that
the work will continue 10 be the principal medium
of communication between the best authors and The
public. Among the attractions OF the 35th volume,
will be TALES by Messrs. Cooper, Grattan, Willis,
Hoffman, Mancur, Herbert, "May Clayors," Mrs.

The Lady,s Cb"sre-
QKAHAMfs LADY's " GESTLEMAN's MAGAZINE
has been from its establishment, more than any Of
Their, the favotite periodical OF the gentler SEX
Though its plan does not entirely exclude articles
of the most important character--such as have iais-
ed Blackwocd's and some other foreign journals to
their high influence and reputation--its pages viii
| DO princpy'deyoted TO what is usually termed light
literature. 1t will be distinguished from other pub
locations of similar aims, by the literary and ariis-
tic merit of its contents. While those OF other
works arc ttlkrloson anonymous, the contributors
10 this are the most eminent authors OF our age and
country the very crea,ors--founders--of our ma
tional literature. Especially is it celebrated as
containing the choicest productions OF the hnest
female writers of the time. Every number con-
iains gems which may be appealed to with pride
by the sex, as vindicating their intellectual emin-
ence.
