SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
Inthe department ofEngravings it is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in tiis or any 9th
or country. The highest ambition of rival pub
fishers seems thus far to have been to maintain a
respectable imitation of the numerous costly and
beautiful works of art with which the successive
numbers of this journal have been graced. In the
codrse of the succeeding volumes many important
'Gew eatnreswill be introduced. Sartn and Sadd
the most celebrated Mezzotint Engrayers in the
Union, aud equals of the best in Europe, will con
tinue 10 furnish their exqniste productions. and
Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, G Parker, A L
Dick, Gimbredge, ] aCknan, Jones and others, o
New York, and Dodson, Welch and w aters,
Tucker and others, of Phadelphia-all among the
most eminent line engravers of the present centu-
ry, have been engaged to furnish succession of
highly finished steel engravings, superior 10 any
| thathave hitherto appeared in periodicals. Among
the pictures that will be engraved for for the VOL

Our PORTRAIT GALLERY.-One of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes pill be thu introduc-
ton of Portraits of the contributors to Graham's
Magazine, which of course, will include nearly
all the eminent writer's of the day. The 35th vol
ume will include, from the burins of Parker ] ohm
son and others, portraits [engrayed in the highest
style of the art of Mr. Cooper, Professor Longfel-
low, Maria Del Occidente. Mrs Sgourney, Miss
sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew
eral others-all from paintings executed expressly
for the purpose.
The 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 Gra-
han's Magazine are acknowledged in all parts o 8
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-
ums for for the booksellers, in which every thing
Fin print is indiscriminately praised, this period
ical is looked upon as Just and discriminating
bitter between authors ana readers, in which both
have implicit confidence.
