SPLENDID ESTABLISHMENTS.
In the department ofEngravings it is well know
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in tfiis or INV 9th
er country. The highest ambition of rival pub.
fishers seems thus far to have been TO maintain =
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 Sartin and Sadd

most eminent line engravers of the present cent,i-
ny, have been engaged to furnish a succession OF
hIghly finished steel engravings, superior to any

Franqunet, and other distinguished artists. The
American periodicals have hitherto contained.

practice, and to make his work strictly original

TnE EDIToRIAL. DEPARTMENT will continue
to embrace notes current literature etc, and re-
views of all new American and foreign works of
general interest or value. The criticisms of Gra-
ham's Magazine are acknowledged in all parts {
the country to be superior in acumen. honesty and
independence to those of any contemporary In
deed, while a majority of the monthly ard quar-
terly journals have become mere advertising medi-
ums for for the booksellers, in which every thing
in print is ihdiscriminately praised, this period
ical is looked upon just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which both
have implicit confidence.
