SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
the department ofEngravings it is wellknown
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in tits or any 9th
er 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 ofart with which the successive
numbers of this journal have been graced. In the
course of the succeeding volumes many important
new features viii be introduced. Sartn and Sadd
the most celebrated Mezzotint Engravers in the
Union, and equals of the best in Europe, will con-
tnue 10 furnish their exquisite productions: and
Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, G. Parker, A l.
Dick, Gimbredge. Jackinan, Jones and others, o
New York, and Dodson, WEIGH and Waters.
Tucker and others, of Philadelphia-all among the
most eminent line engrayers of the present centu-
I ry, have been engaged to furnish succession of
highly finished steel engravings, superior 20 any
thathave hitherto appeared in periodicals. Among
the pictures that will be engraved for for the vol
umes in lS43, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS,
by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thompson, Freeman
Franquinet, and other distinguished artists The
American periodicals have hitherto contained
save i'll very few instances, only engravings cop
led from foreign prints. The publisher of Ora
HAMS Magazine will be the first to reform the
practice, and to make his work strictly original
in its embellishments well in its literary con-
tents.

the country 10 be superior in acumen, honesty and
independence to those of any contemporary. In
deed, while majority of the monthly and quar-
tery journals have become mere advertising medi-
