* RAHAM'S is the oldest and most popular Of
the American Literary Magazines. The
number for January, l843, will be the first of the
35th volume. Its long and universally successful
career, from its commencement with few hum
bred subscribers, until the present time, when 1t
has circulation OF fifty thousand copies a month,
is perhaps good an evidence of its great and in
creasing merit the publisher has it in his power
to offer. To his old subscribers, he trusts no
surances are necessary of his determination 10
maintain it's 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 embra-
cling many of the first names in the nation, is a
sufficient guarantee that the work will continue
to be the principal medium Of communication be-
tween the best authors and the public. Among
the attractions of the thirty-ffth volumes will be
several TALES by Mr.. j. F. Cooper, Mr.. GrGttan,
Mr. Hoffman, Mr.. Herbert, Miss Leslie, Mary Ca

guish ed writer's who, it is said, will be contribu-

SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department of Engravings, 1t is very well
known that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed
any periodical work ever published in this or any
country The highest ambition of rival publish
ers seems thus far 10 have been to maintain re-
| spectacle 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 i'm.
portant new features will be introduced. Sartain
and SGdd, the most celebrated MEZzoTINT ENeRA-
vERs in the Union, and equals of the best in Eu
rope, will continue to furnish their exquisite pro-
auctions; and Rawdon, Wright & Hatch, A. L.
Dick, q. Parker, Gimbrede, Jackman, Jones, anC
others, OF New York; and Dodson, WEIGH & Wa
tiers, Tucker, and others, Of Philadelphia,-al
among the most eminent LINE ENGRAvERs of thu
present century, have been engaged 10 furnish
succession of highly finished steel engTavings, su
perior to any that have hitherto appeared in peri
Odicals. Among the pictures that will be engra
we'd for the volume in I843, are several ORIGINAL
PAINTINGS, by Ingham, Inman, Cole, ThomP
son, Freeman, FRANC uinet and other distinguished
artists. The American periodicals have hitherto
contained, save in very few instances, only en-
cravings copied from foreign prints The pub
Usher of Graham's Magazine will be the first t.
eform the practice, and TO make his work strictly
original in its embellishments as well as in it
literary contents.

THE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT
Will continue to embrace notes on current liters

criticisms of Graham's Magazine are acknow

e any contemporary. Indeed, while majority
If the monthly and quarterly journals have becOm
L mere advertising mediums for the booksellers,
