| GRAHAM's MAGAzrSr has long enjoyed the en-
liable reputation Of being the bvst periodical in the
] United States, both in the quality and number OF
- embellishments and in the tone Of its literary
uatter il is the cheapest well as the bvst For
the yer ls43 the publisher has given about 100
pages original reading matter than any of his
contemporaries, and more original steel eagraciHgs
in addition to the fashion pidtes and cultured owers.
The ohsapRess and merit Of three-dollar magazine
| over all others are apparent, which has made an
outlay of over SEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
GREATER THAN OTHERS, and an addition
OF engravings over other magazines that would
embellsh the costliest Annual. The publisher is
however satisfied that nothing but real excellence
can maintain the high position his periodical has
attained IN the United States, and, the taste for
good works improves and extends, that nothing IF
hHmbug Ordtr irW be tolerated.
The publisher does not hesitate 10 say, that he
dCfeS all competition irHh GrahamS MDgd1ine FIR
loii. His immense subscription lisa the merits
and nnmher 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 him TO prosecute the work, render any efforts
at rivalry matter of ridIeue. Every number of
the work issued hears with il the evidence OF its
triumphant success, and establishes the npossibluy
OF successful competition.
Every number of Grahams Magazine is issued
at cost of nearly SIO00--the plates alone costing
nearly half the sum. Most OF the plates are from
ORIGINAL AMERICAN PAINTINGS
executed expressly for the proprietor, for cngra-
wings for the Magazine. Among the pictures paint
ed Tor the volume ior lc44, two by SUI the
great artist, several by LtuTzE, CnArMAN, lNNAN
CONARoE, RoRHERMEL, THoMrsoN and others OF
the best artists OF America. The cost of getting
up embellishments IN this style, may be estimated
when stale that some of these pictures cost
$500 piece, and Will cost us, some of them
three times that sum 10 have them engraved and
worked off for the edition OF '.Graham." But no
cost shall be spared To keep our proud position
at tic head IF tie periodicals. IF the ,cord.
