35th volume. It's long and universally successful
career from its commencement with e few hun
dred subscribers, until the present time, when il
has a circulation of fifty thousand copies month,
is perhaps as good evidence of its great and in
creasing merit as the publisher has it in his power
TO Offer To his old subscribers, he trusts no as
surance are necessary of his determination TO
maintain its present ascendancy over all the rival
| periodicals of the country. The engagement, du-

etc. of high reputation. in the literary world, as
regular contributors, in addition to previous list

has beeh from its establishment more than any
other the ftvorite periodical of the greater sex.
Though its plan does not entirely exclude articles
of the most important character, such as have raj
sed Blackwood's and some other foreign journals
to their high influence and reputation, its pages
will be principally DEVOTED TO what lis usually term-
ed light literature. Ii will 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 il cell
ebrated as containing the choicest productions of
the finest female writers of the time. Every num-
ber contains gems which may be appealed to with
pride by the sex as vindicatng their intellectual
emDence.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
Inthe department ofEngravings il is well known
| that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
| periodical work ever published in tfis any 9th
er country. The highest ambition of rival pub
fishers seems thus far to have been TO maintan n
respectable imitation of the humorous 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 feat1reswill be introduced. Sartin and Sadd
the most celebrated Mezzotint Engravers in the
Union, and equals of the best in Europe, will con-
tinue 10 furnish their exquisite productions: and
Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, G Parker, A l.
Dick, Gimbredge, Jacknan, Jones and others,
New York, and Dodson, Neich and Waters,
Tucker and Others, of Phladelphia-all among the
most eminent line engravers of lhs present cen.u-
| nv, have been engaged to furnish succession of
highly finished steel engravings, superior to any
thathave hitherto appeared in periodicals. Among
the pictures that will be engraved for for the vol
umes in lS43, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS,
by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thompson, Freeman,
Franquinet, and other distinguished artists. The
American periodicals have hitherto contained,
save in very few instances, only engravings cop
led from foreign prints. The publisher of Gra-
HAMS Magazine will be the first to reform the
practice, and TO make his work strictly original
In it's embellishments well as in its literary con-
tents.
D Our PGRTRAlT GALLERY.-One of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes acll be the Introduc
{ ton of Portraits of the contributors TO Graham:
rl Magazine, which of course, win include nearly
ali the eminent writers of the day. The 35th vol
une will include, from the burins of Parker, John
son and others, portraits engraved in the highes
style of the artl of Mr. Cooper, Professor Longfe
: low, maria Del Occidente.' Mrs Sigourney, Mis-
Sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew
eral othersall from paintings executed expressly
for the purpose.
THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT will continue
to embrace notes on currsn literature etc, and re
| views Of all new American and foreign works o
4 general interest valne The criticisms of Ora
hams Magazine are acknowledged in all parts o
the country to be superior in acumen, honesty an(
J, independence to those of any contemporary. In
/, Decd while majority of the monthly and quar-
terly journals have become mere advertising medi
ums for for the booksellers, in which every thin
Fin print is Unfortunately praised, this period
zeal is looked upon as just and discriminating ar
| bitter between authors and readers, in which botl
have implicit confidence.
