volume. Its long ahd uniformly successful careers
from its CONNIE cement with few hundred subscri

of such men us Bryant, Cooper, Dana, Longfellow,
Hoffman, Mancur, and others of high reputation in

the work will continue to be the principal medium
of communication between tho best authors and the
public. Among tho attractions OF The 35th volumes
will be TALES by Messrs. Cooper, Grattan, Willis,
Hoffman, Mancur, Herbert, "Masy Clayers," Mrs.

tains gems which may be appealed to with pride

enco.
Splendid Embellishments.
In tho department Of Engavings, il 10 well known
that GRAHAM's MAGAZINE has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in any county
The highest ambition Of rivnl publishers seems thus
far to have been to maintain q respectable iniita-
ton Of the numerous costly and beautiful works Of
art with which tho successive numbers Of this jour
nal have been graccd In the course OF tho sue
ceeding volumes many important neD Jeatures wiz
be introduced. Ssrtan and Sad, the most celebia-
ted Mezzotlnt Engraveis in the Union, and equals
Of the best In Europe, will continue 10 furnish their
exquisite productions; and Rawdon, Wright d.
Hatch, G. Parker, A. l.. Dick, Gimbredo, Jack
man, Jones, and others, Of New York, and Cheney,
Dodson, WEIGH a. Walters, Tucker, and others, Of
Phiadolphia--ali among the most eminent line en-
erapers Of the present century, have been engaged
70 furnish cesson of highly finished steel en-
cravings superior to any that have hitherto apponr
cd in periodicals Among the pictures that will
DO engraved for tho volumes in 1643, arc several
Original Paintings by Ingham, Inman, Thompson,
Cole, Freemaa, Franquinet, Blanchard, Osgood,

lishinents ne well as in It's literary contents.
