NtRAHAM'S is the oldest and most popular Of
IN 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
dred subscribers, until the present time, when it
has a circulation of fifty thousand copies q month,
is perhaps as good an evidence of its great and in
creasing merit as the publisher has it in bis power
to offer. To his old subscribers, he trusts no as
suIances are necessary of his determination to
maintain its 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, BoNGFELLow, HOFFMAN, MANcUR, etc.,
Of high reputation in the literary world, as regular
contributors, in addition to previous list embra-
cling many of the first names in the nation, is
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 thiry-ffth volume, will be
several TALES by Mr.. j. F. Cooper, Mr. Grattan,
Mr. HOFFMAN,, Mr.. Herbert, Miss Leslie, MARY Ga

guished writers, who, it is said, will be conribu-

SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department of Engravings, II is very well
known that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed
| any periodical work ever published in this any
country. The highest ambition of rival publish
/ ers seems thus far TO 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
/ o,ff
portant new features will be introduced Sartain
| and SGdd, the most celebrated MEzzoTINT ENGRA-
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, g. Parker, Gimbrede, Jackman, Jones, and
others, of New York and Dodson, Welch Wa
tiers, Tucker, and others, Of Philade phia,-all
| among the most eminent LINE ENGRAvERs of the
present century, have been engaged 10 furnish
succession of highly finished steel engravings, SUI
perior to any that have hitherto appeared IN peri
Odicals. Among the pictures that will be engra-
we'd for the volume in 843, are several ORIGINAL
Il PAINTINGS, by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thomp-
son, Freeman, Franquinet and other distinguished
artists. The American periodicals have hitherto
contained, save in u very few instances, only en-
cravings copied from foreign prints The pub
Usher of Graham's Magazine will be the first to
leform the practice, and make his work strictly
original in its embellishments as well as in its
literary contents

edged in all parts of this country to be superior in
acumen, honesty and independence to those o.
any contemporary. Indeed, while a majority O
: the monthly and quarterly journals have become
mere advertising mediums for the booksellers, il
which every thing in print is indiscriminately
praised, this periodical is looked upon as ius
] and discriminating arbiter between authors anC
f readers, in which both have implicit confidence.
