riOdical in the u. 5. both in the quality and num-
Der ofs embellishments, and in the tone of It's lit
erary matter. 1t is the cheapest as well as the best
For the year lSi4 the publisher has given about
100 pages more original matter than any OF his CO.
temporaries mote original steel engravlngs, IN ad-
dun to fashion plates and colored flowers. The
cheapness and merit OF three-dollar magazine over
all Others are apparent which has made an outlay
of Seven Thousand Dollars greater than others,and
an addition Of engravngs other magazines that
would embeIlish fhe costiest Annual. The pub
Usher is however satisfied that nothing but real &c
ceence can maintain the high position his perodi-
cal has attained in the United States,
The publisher does not hesitate to say that he
deiies all competition with Grahams magazine for
IlS45. His immense subscription list, the merit
and number of his contributors, the high order OF
the engravers engaged, the number and variety OF
elegant plates already purchased and on hand and
the immense facility which his capital and position
give To prosecute the work render any efforts at H.
wal matter of rldicue, Every number oil the
work issued, bears with it the e0ldence OF ITS trl-
umphan success, and establishes the impossiblllty
of succ' ssfu competition, improves and extends
for good works, that nothing of humbug order
will be tolerated.
Every NUMBER of Graham's Magazine is issued
at cost of nearly s40OO-the plates alone consist
Original American Paintings, executed expressly
for the proprietor for engravings for the magazine
Among the pictures painted for the volume foI
lS45 are two by Sully, the greateat artist, sevela
lby Leutze Chapman, lnman ConarOe, Rothermel,
Thomson, and others Of the best artists OF Amerl'
ca. The cost of getting up embellishments in this
Istye may be estimated When we state that some vi
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 of 'Graham
But no cost shall be spared to keep our proud
position at tho head of the Periodicals OF the
world.
GRAHAMS ELEGANT EMBELLIsH.
MENTS.
The most splendid engravings of all sorts lend
their charm to the pages of Graham's magazine
Every thin in the way Of novelty and beauty that

well the most popular embellishments we place
Sartain's Brilliant Mezzotint Engraving.
We were the first to introduce this beautiful styl,
Iof " ork, as a regular establishment of the popua,
nonthlies. Its wide spread reputation thro' the
means of our amplest, called forth host OF imlta
tors but up to this time nothing has been producec
to rival the glorious pictures given in Graham
I'The Shepherds Love-, and 'Ihe Coquette,
These with host of Others done for US by Mr.
Sartain, stand unprecedented and alone at th'
head of American engraving. We have severa
Of these inmtable plates under way, and shal
lglve one in the January number.
