The Cecil Whig. [volume] (Elkton, Md.) 1841-current, 1844-02-24
MAGAZINE,

VNiiE January number will be issued on De-
| l. cember 10Th, 1873. Graham's Magazine
has long enjoyed the envable reputation of be-
ing the best periodical in the United States,
both in quality end number of embellishments,
and in the tone of its literary matter II is the
cheapest as well as the best. For the year Is i3
the publisher has given about 100 pages more
original reading matter than any Of his coteIn-
poraries, and more original Engravinus in adj
diton to the fashion plates and coloured flowers
The cheapness and merit ola threc-dollar maya
zine over all others, are apparent, which
has made an outlay Of over seven thousand dol
lars greater than Others and an addition Of en-
cravings over other magazines that would en-
GGG2l!lish the c,stliest Annual The publisher is
however satisfied that nothing but real excel
lence can maintain the high position his ,2di
cal has attaiucd in the United States and, as th
taste improves and extends for good works, the
nothing ola humbug order will be tolerated.
| The publisher does not hesitate to say, that
| detes all competition with Graham's MagaE
| for 1s4i. His immense subscription list,
merit and number of his contributors, tn c
order of the engravers engaged, the nun BE
variety of elegant plates already purchased and
on hand, and the immense facility which his
Ipital and position give him to prosecute the
work, render any efforts at rivalry matter Of
ridicule. Every number of the Tork issued,
bears with it the evidence Of It's triumphant sue
cess, and establishes the impossbili,y of success
full competition.
Every number of Graham>s Magazine s issued
at a cost of nearly Si000-the plates alone cost
nearly half the sum. Most Of the plates are from
FROM ORIGINAL P.lLNTL> GS,
Executed expressly for the proprietor, for en-
cravings for the Magazine. Among the pictures
painted for the volume fol 1874, are two by
Sully, the great artist, several by Leutze, Chap
man, lnman, Conarroc, Rothermel, THOMPSON
and others of the best artists of America The
cost of getting mp embellishments in this style,
may be estimated when we state that some OF,
these pictures cost $500 piece, and will cost us
some OF them three times that sum to have them
engraved and worked off for the edition oft &c IA
ham " But no cost shall be spared to keep our
proud position sat the head Of the periodical: oil
the world"
