GRAHAM'S MAGAZINE.

Nraham's Magazine has long enjoyed the enVlous
W reputation ofbeing the best periodical in the uni
ment, and in the tone of its literary matter. 1t is the
cheapest as wellas the best. The ~cheapnoss and mer-
it ola three dollar magazine over all Others are appar-
ent, which has made an outlay Of over
$1,000 GREATER THAN OTHERS
an addition Of engravings over other magazines that
would embelish the costIiest annual. The publisher
is however satisfied that nothing but real excellence
tan maintain the high position that his periodical Las
attained in the United States, and as the taste i'm
proves and extenGs for good works, THAI nothing of a
humbug order will be tolerated.
The publisher does not hesitate to say, that he de-
fs all competition with Graham's Magazine for eigh-
teen hundred and forty-four-Elis immense subscrip-
ton list, the merit and the number Of his contributors,
the high order of the engrayers engaged, the number
and variety Of elegant plates already purchased and
on hand, and his immense facility which his capital
give him to prosecute the work, render any efforts at
rivalry a matter of ridicule. Every number of the
work issued, bears with it the evidence oft triumph
ant success, and establishes the impossibility of sue
cessul competition.
Every number of Graham's Magazine is issued at n
cost of nearly one thousand dollars-the plates alone
cost nearly half the sum. Most Of the plates are
from original American paintings executed expressly
for the proprietor, for enngravings for the Magazine.
Among the pictures painted for the volumes for 1874,
are two by Sully, the great artist, several by Leutze,
Chapman, Lnman, Conaroe, Rothermel, Thompson,
and others of the best artists of America. The cost
of getting the embellishments in this style, may be
estimated when we state that some Of these pictures
cost two hundred dollars a piece, and will cost us
some of them three times that sum to have them enga-
ged and worked off for the edition Of Graham. But
no cost shall be spared to keep our proud position at
the head of the periodicals Of the world.
The most splendid engravinss of all sorts lend their
Icharm to the pages of Groham's Magazine. Eve ny
thing in the way Of novelty and beauty that has ever
been invented is laid under contribution. Nothing
that capital and taste can supply is omitted. First,
as the most elegant and appropriate, as well as the
most popular establishment, we place Sartain's Bril-
liant Mezzotint Engraving.
We were the first to introduce this beautiful style of
work, as a regular establishment of the popular
monthlies. Its wide spread reputation, through the
means of our ample list, called forth a host of imita-
tors, but up to this time nothing has been produced to
rival the glorious pictures given in Graham-''The
Shepherds Love,'' and 'The Coquette!" These, with
a host of others done for us by Mr.. Sartain, stand 'un-
precedented and alone at the head of American en-
craving. We have several of these inimitable tales
} under way, and shall give one in the January number
The series of elegant steel engfavings from the bu
hin of Rawdon, Wright, Hatch e. Smile, Jackson
WEIGH, Walter, and others, which have graced Ora,
hams Magazine, have never been surpassed in the
country, and some of them, of which we may desig
nate THE Fountain The Captives,' and the Signal,
have never been excelled in Europe. The exquisite
Fl line, and line and stipple engravings, win be followed
by a series now on hand for 1874, of most magniicen
subjects. One or more will appear in January.
Charcoal SfeteheS, EtchingS on Steet.
These engravings will for the most part illustrate tn
F., popular stories of Joseph G. Neal, author of Char
!, coal Sketches and will be finished for us in Yeager'
immitable style. Mr.. Neal ranks as the best humoris
in America, and has long been known as American
Boz
The publisher of Graham gives the correct fashions
for both ladies and gentlemen, in addition to the usu
al number Of steel and mezzotint engravings, and doe
not omit a plate, or give the fashions in place Of one
when they appear in his book. G
i More particularly for the use OF the ladies, and a
/ an attractive establishment, we shall continue to Civ
E the handsomest specimens Of colored flowers of tn
field and garden, a sort of illustration peculiarly ap
: ~proprlate for the study of persons Of taste, and widel
! sought after by all lovers of the beautiful.
Graham's Magazine is the only periodical that ha
the enterprise and sagacity to give to the world a fu
series of highly furnished portraits of our Distinguish
i litcrati.
: We have under way some fine original matter for III
y pages of Graham. This is desirable matter particular
d ly to subscribers in the country. This with the bi
liant array of attractions before enumerated, az tn
price named, will render Grahams Magazine the mo-
popular and cheapest periodical in America.
