ebrated as containing the choicest productions of
the finest female writer's Of the time. Every num-
Der contains gems which may be appealed to with
pride by the sex as vindicating their intellectual
eminence.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
In the department ofEngravings it is we'll known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work published in tfis or any 9th
er country. The highest ambition of rival pub
hshers 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
course of the succeeding volumes many important
new features will be introduced Sartin and Sadd
the most celebrated Mezzotint Engravers in the
Union, and equals of the best in Europe, will con
tnue TO furnish their exquisite productions. and
Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, G Parker, A L
! Dick, Gimbredge, JaCkman, J ones and others,
! New York, and Dodson, WEIGH and Waters,
! Tucker and Others, of Phladelphia-all among the
inost eminent line engravers of the present centu-
| ry3 have beef engaged to furnish succession of
highly finished steel engravings, superior TO any
thathave hitherto appeared i'll periodicals. Among
the pictures that will be engraved for for the vol
umes in 1913, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS,
by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thompson, 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 Gra-
HAMS Magazine will be the first to reform the
practice, and to make his work strictly original
in its embellishments we'll as in It's literary con-
tents.
OUR PORTRAIT GALIERY.-One Of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes will be the introduce
zion of Portraits of the contributors to Graham's
Magazine, which of course, will include nearly
all the eminent writers oftha day. The 35th vol
ume will include from the BURNS of Parker J ohm
son and others, portraits engraved in the highest
style of the art of Mr. Cooper, Professor Longfel-
low, maria Del Occidente.' Mrs Sigourney, Miss
Ssdgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew
eral othars-all from paintings executed expressly
for the purpose.
The EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT will continue
to embrace notes on current literature etc, and
views of all new American and foreign works of
general interest or value. The criticisms of Ora
hams Magazine are acknowledged in all parts o.
the country to be superior i'll acumen, honesty and
independence to thcr- of any contemporary. In
deed, while majority of the monthly and quar-
teri, journals have become mere advertising medi-
ums for for the booksellers, in which every thing
Sin print is indscriminately praised, this period
ical is looked upon as Just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which both
/ have implicit confidence.
