Grahams Magazine has been, from its establish
ment, more than any other, the favorite periodical
Of the people of the United States Though it's
plan does not entirely exclude articles of the most
important character, such as have raised Backwood
and some other foreign journals to their high nfu-
ence and reputation its pages are principally devo-
ted to what is usually termed light literature Its
distinguished from other publications Of similar
aims by the literary and artistic merit Of IFS con-
tents. While those OF other works are unknown
or anonymous, the contributors to this the must
