Graham's Lady's and Genlleman'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 as have raj
sed Backwood's and some other foreign journals
to their high influence and reputation, iis pages
will be principally devoted TO what's usually term
ed light literature. Ii 7~ill 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
tr!butors 10 this are the most eminent authors of
our age and country; the very cIaatoTs, founders,
of our National Literature. Especially is it Gel
ebrated as 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 as vindicatng their intellectual
eminence.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS
Inthe department of Engravings il is well known

periodical work ever published in tits any 9th

fishers seems thus far to have been to mai atan
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. Sa5tin and Sadd

Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, G Parker, A l.
Dick, Gimbredge, JaCkInan, Jones and others, of
New York, and Dodson, WEIGH and Waters.
Tucker and others, of Philadelphia-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 appeared in periodicals. Among
the pictures that will be engraved for for the vol
umes in l643, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS,
by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thompser, 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 era
HAMS Magazine will be the FIRST to reform the
practice, and to make his work strictly original
in its embellishments as well as il its literary con-
tents.
Our PGRrRAIT GALLERY.-One Of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes uill be the introduc-
ton of Portraits of the contributors to Graham's
Magazine, which of course, will include nearly
all the eminent writers of the day. The Both vol

son and others, portraits engraved in the highest
style of the art of Mr. Cooper, Professor Longfel-
low, 'Mara Del Occidente.' Mrs Sgourney, Miss
Sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew

TIE EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT will continue
to embrace notes on current literature etc, and re-
views of all new American and foreign works of
general interest or 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. In
deed, while majority of the monthly and quar-
terly journals have become mere advertising medi-
inns for for the booksellers, i'll which every thing
lin print is indiscrminately praised. this period
ical is looked upon as just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which both
have implicit confidence.
