of our National literature. Especially is it eel
ebraied as containing the choicest productions OF
the finest female writer's of the time. Every num-
ber contains gems which may be appealed to with
pride by ihe sex as vindicating their Intellectual
eminence.
SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
Inthe department ofEngravings it is welkn
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in tfis or any 9th
er county. The highest ambition of rival pub
fishers seems thus far to have been to maintain
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 featdfes will be introduced. Sartina and Sadd
the most celebrated Mezzotnt Engrayers in the
Union. and equals of the best in Europe, will con
tinue to furnish their eXqnisite productions. and
Rawdon, Wright and Hatch, c. Parker, L.
Dick, Gimbredge, Jackman, Jones and Others,
New York, and Dodson, Welch and Waters,
Tucker and others, of Philadelphia-all among the
most eminent line ehgravers of the present centu-
~, have been engaged to furnish succession of
highly finished steel engravings, superior to any
thathave hitherto appeared in periodicals. Among
the pictures that will be engraved for for the vol
umes in 1873, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS,
by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thompson, Freeman
.Franquihet, 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 tsemballshments as well asin its literary con-
tents
OUR PGRTRAiT GALLERY.-One of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes wilI be the ntroduc-
tion Of Portraits of the contributors to Graham's
Magazine, which of course, will include nearly
all the eminent writer's OF the day. The 35th vol
une viii include, from the burins OF Parker ohm
son and others, portraits engraved in the highest
style of the art Of Mr. Cooper, Professor Longfel-
low, Maria Del Occidente.' Mis- Sigourney, Miss
| Sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew
eral othars-all FROM paintings executed expressly
for the purpose.
The EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT will Continue
to embrace notes on current literature ETC. and res
views Of all ncw American and foreign works of
general Interest or value. The criticisms of Gfa-
hams Magazine are acknowledged in all parts D.
the country to be superior in acumen, honesty and
independence to those of any contemporary. IN
deed, while majority of the monthly and quar-
tery journals have become mere advertising medi-
ums for for the booksellers, in which every thing
in print is indiscriminately praised. this period
ical is looked upon a ust and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which both
have implicit confidence.
