NRAHAM'S is the oldest and most ponular o.
M the American Literary Magazines The

35th volume Its long and unive rsally ccessfu
career, from its commencement with a few hmm
dred subscribers, until the present time. when il
has u circulation OF fifty thousand copies a month
is perhaps good an evidence of its great and IN
creasing merit the publisher has il in his bower
to offer. To his old subscribers he trusts no as
suraDees are necessary of his determination TO
maintain It's present ascendancy over 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, as regular
contributors, in addition to a previous list embra-
cling many of the first names in the nation, is
sufficient guarantee that the worn will continue
! to be the principal medium of communication be-
tween the best authors and the public Among
the attractions OF the thirty-ffth volume, will be
several TALES by Mr.. j. +. Cooper, Mr. Grattan,
Mr. Hofnlan Mr.. Herbert, Miss Leslie, Mary Clq-

h guished writers, who it is said, will be contribu-

to insert.
. SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS
In the department of Engravings, 1t is very vel
known that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed
any periodical work ever published in this OF an,
country. The highest ambition of rival publish
ers seems thus Tar 70 have been to maintain a re
# spectacle imitation of the numerous costly anC
, beautiful works OF art with which the successive
) numbers of this journal have been graced. i
u the course OF the succeeding volumes, many i'm
q portaut new features will be introduced Sartail
D. and Sadd, the most celebrated MEZZoTINT ENGR
Is vERs in the Union, and equals of the best in Eu
Ic rope, will continue to furnish their exquisite pro
~ ductions; and RaWdon, Wright & Hatch A l.

in others, of New York; and Dodson, Wech Wa
h. tiers, Tucker, and others, of Phadelphia.-a
- among the most eminent LINE ENGRAvERs of tn
). present century, have been engaged 10 furnish
., succession of highly finished steel engravngs. 81
