SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS;
In the department. ofEngravings it is we'll know,
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed apv
periodical work ever published in ttiis 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 of art with which the successive
numbers OF this journal have been graced. In the
course OF the succeeding volumes many important
new featureswil be introduced Sartin and Sadd
the most celebrated Mezzotint Engravefs 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, JaCkinan, ] ones and others, o
New ork, and Dodson, WEIGH and Waters,
Fucker and Others, of Philadelphia-aIi among the
most eminent line eengrayers of tho present centu-
ry, have been engaged to furnish succession of
( highly finished steel engravings, superior TO any
thathave hitherto appearedin periodicals. Among
the pictures that viii be engraved for for the VOL
umes in l643, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS,
I by lngham, lnman, 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 well as in its literary con-
tents.
Our FGRTRA1T GALLERY-One Of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes will be the introduc-
ton of Portraits of the contributors to Graham's
| Magazine, which Of course, viii include nearly
all the eminent writers ofthe day. The 35th vol
umewill include, from the burinsof 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
Sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew
eral othe7s-ai from paintings. executed expressly
for the purpose.
The EDIToRIA1. 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-
HAMS Magazine acknowledged 10 all parts Of
the country TO be superior in acunlen, honesty and
independence to those of any contemporary. In
deed, while a majority of the monthly and quar-
tery journals have become mere advertising medi
ums for for the booksellers, in which every thing
lin print is indiscrimnately praised, this period
cal is looked upon as just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which both
have implicit confidence.
