career, from its commencement with n few hun
dred subscribers, until the present time, when il
has a circulation Of fifty thousand copies a month,
is perhaps good evidence of its great and in
crsasng merit as the publisher has il in his power

GrahGm's Lady's and Genllemzn-s Magazine
| has been from its establishment mosa than any
other the favorte periodical of the greater sex.
Though its plan does not entirely exclude articles
of the most important character, such as have raj
| ssd Blackwood's and some other foreign journals
to their high influence and reputation, its pages
will be Principally devoted 10 what is usually term
ed light literature. twill be distinguished from
other publications of similar aims by the literary
and artistic merit of its contents. While those of
| other works are unknown or anonymous, the con-
/ tributors TO this the most eminent authors OF
our age and country; the very creators, founders,
| of our National Literature. Especially is it cell
/ ebrated containing the choicest productions of
| the finest female writers of the time. Every num-
| Der contains gems which may be appealed TO with
! pride by the sex vindicatng their Intellectual
| eminence.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
! In the department Of Ergravings il is well known
! that Grab ans Magazine has far surpassed any
| periodical work ever published in tfis or any OH
| or co1ntry. The highes, ambition of rival pub
| fishers seems thus far to have been to maiAtain
/ respectable 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 important
| new features Will be introduced. Sartin and Sadd
the most celebrated Mezzotint Engravars in the
Union, and equals of ;ne best in Europe, will con
tinus 10 furnish their eNaniste productions: and
| Rawdon,- Wright ard Hatch, G Parker, 4 T.
| Dick, Gimbrodgo, JaCkInan, Jones and others
/ New York, and Dodson, Welch and aters,
| Tucker and others, of PhiadeIphia-all among the
most eminent line engravers of the present cent?
| ry, have been engaged TO furnish a succession of
| highly finished steel engravngs, superior 10 any
! thathave hitherto appeared in periodicals. Among
the pictJres that will be engraved for for the vol
umss in IS43, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS,
| by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thompson, Freeman,
| Franqunet, and other distinguished artists The
| American periodicals have hitherto contained,
save in n very few instances, only engrayIngs cop
led from foreign prints. The publisher of Ora
| HAMS Magazine will be she first to reform the
practice, and to make his work strictly original
in its embellishments as well as in its literary
tents
! Our PGRTRAIT GALLERY.-One Of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes tcill be the ntroduc
ton of Portraits of the contributors 10 Graham's
( Magazine, which of course, will include nearly
| all the eminent Writers of the day. The 35th vol
uTne will include, from the BURNS of Parker ohm
SCH and others, portraits engraved in the highest
stTl5 OF the art of Mr. Cooper. Professor Longfel
low Maria Del Occiderte.' Mrs Sigourney, Miss
| Sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew
eTal others-all from paintings executed expressly
for the purpose.
/ The EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT will continue
to embrace notes current literature ETC. and re-
| views of all new American and foreign works of
general interest value. The criticisms of Ora
hams Magazine are acknowledged in all parts
the country to be superior in acumen, honesty and
independence to those of any contemporary. Ir.
| deed, while majority of the monthly and quar-
terly journals have become mere advertising medi-
ums for for the booksellers, in which every thing
'in print is Unfortunately praised, this period
ical is looked upon just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which both
have implicit confidence.
