SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department CT Engravings il iswellkuow
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in tits or any 9th
er country. The highest ambition of rival pub
fishers seems thus fer TO have been to maintain
respectable imitation of the numerous costly and
beautiful works of art with which the successive

new features will be introduced. Sartin and Sadd

most eminent line engravers of tho present centu-

= American periodicals have hitherto contained,
save in a very few instances, only engrayings cop
led from foreign prints. The Publisher Of Ora
HAMS Magazine will be the first to reform the
practice. and to make his work strictly original
in rs embellishments as well az in its literary con-
tents.

TIE EDIToRIAL DEPARTMENT viii continue
to embrace notes on current literature etc, and
views of all new American and foreign works O
general interest or value. The criticisms Of Ora
HAMS Magazine are acknowledged in all parts o
> the country to be superior in acumen, honesty an
!, independence TO those of any contemporary. In
l., deed, while majority Of the monthly and quar-
terly journals have become mere advertising medi

zeal is looked upon just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which bot
have implicit confidence.
