HRAHAM'S is the oldes, and mos, populss
" of the American Literary Magazines. Thu

35th volume It's long and universally successful
career, from its commencement with few hun
dred subscribers, until the present time, when it
has circulation of fifty thousand copies month,
is perhaps good an evidence OF its great and in
creasing merit as the publisher has il in his power
to offer. To his old subscribers, he trusts
surance are necessary of his determination 10
maintain its present ascendancy all the rival
periodicals of the country. The engagement, du-
ring the past year, of such men as BRYANT, CooP-
Err, DANA, LoNGFELLow, HoFFMAN, MANCUR,
etc., of high reputation, in the literary world,
regular contributors in addition to previous list
embracing many of the first names in the nation is
a sufficient guarantee that the work will continue

tween the best authors and the public. Among
the attractions of the thrty-fifth volume will be
. veral TALES by Mr. J. +. Cooper, Mr. Grafton,
Mr. Hoghsan, Mr. Herbert, Miss Leslie, '.Hary

Here follows more full list of the names of
contributors, the most distinguished of the country
which we omit for want of room.
Graham's Lady's and Gentleman's Magazine
has been from its establishment more than any
other the favorite periodical Of the greater sex.
Though its plan does not entirely exclude articles
of the most important character, such have raj
sed Blackwood's and some other foreign journals
IN their high influence and reputation, It's pages
will be Principally devoted to what 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 are tina most eminent authors of
age and country; the very creators, founders,
of our National Literature. Especially is i, cell
ebrated containing the choicest predictions of
the finest female writers of the time. Every NUM-
Der contains gems which may be appealed to with
nv the sex rs yindicaiing theiK intellectual
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department ofEngravings it is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work published in tfiis nr any 9th
er country. The highest ambition of rival pub
| fishers seems thus far to have been to maotain a
| respectable imitation of the numerous costly and
! beautiful works of art with which the successive
numbers of this journal have been sraced. In the
course of the succeeding volumes many important
| new features will be introduced. Sartn and Sadd
thu most celebrated Mczzotint 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, ] ones and others, of
| New York, and Dodson, WEIGH and Waters,
Tucker and others, of Philadelpha-all among the
most eminent line engravers of the present centu-
~, have been engaged TO furnish a succession of
highly finished steel engravings. superior TO any
thathave hitherto appearedin periodicals. Among
the pictures that will be engraved for for the vol
umes in l843, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS,
by Ingham, InmaD, 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 Ora
hams Magazine will be the first to reform the
practice, and to make his work strictly original
in its embellishments well as in its literary
tents.
Dun PGRTRAlT GALLERY-One of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes soill be the introduce
ton of Portraits of the contributors to Graham's
Magazine, which of course, will include nearly
all the eminent writers of the day. The 3)th vol
ume will include, from the BURNS of Parker, j Ohm
son and others, portraits engraved in the highest
style of the art of Mr. Cooper, Professor Longfel-
low, Maria Del Occidente,' Mrs Sigourney, Miss
sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew
eral others-all from paintings executed expressly
for the purpose.
THE EDIToRIAL DEPARTMENT will continue
to embrace notes on current literature etc. and re-
views of all new American and foreign WORKS O
general interest or value. The criticisms of Ora
hams Magazine are acknowledge. in all parts o
the country to be superior in aGumen, honesty anC
independence to those "a any contemporary. In
deed, while q majority of the monthly and guar
terry journals nave become mere advertising medf
ums TO. for the booksellers, in which every thinI
an print is unfortunately praised, this period
cal is looked upon as just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which boti
have implicit confidence.
