GRAHAM'S MAGAZINE.

Sraham's Magazine has long enjoyed the enyious
reputation OF being the best periodical in the uni
ted States, both in the quality and number Of embellish-
ment. and in the tone Of It's literary matter. Ii is the
cheapest as wela the best. The c~heapness aud mer-l
Il ola three dollar magazine over all others are appar-l
emf, which has made an outlay of over
$1,000 GREATER THAN OTHERS
an addition of engrayings OVER other magazines that
would embellish the c~ostliest annual. The publisher
fs however satisfied thar nothing but real exceIlencel
can maintain the high position that his periodical Las
attained in the United States, and as the taste i'm
proves and EXTENDS 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-I
teen hundred and forty-fonr.-His immense subsorip-
ton list, the merit and the number of bis contributors,
the high order Of the engravers 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 rdicule. Every number of the
work issued, bears with it the evidence ofits triumph
ant success. and establishes the impossibility of sue
cessful competitions.
Every number of Graham's Magazine is issued at a
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 Suly, the great artist, several by Leutze,
Chapman, Inman, 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 engravings of all sorts lend their
charm to the pages OF Graham's Magazine. Every
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 q regular establishment of the popular
monthhes. Its wide spread reputation, through the
means of our ample list, called forth a host of iInita-
tors, but up to this time nothing has been produced tc
rival the glorious pictures given in Graham-''The
Shepherds Love-" and 1.-THE CoGuette." 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

country, and some of them, OF which we may desig-
nate slhe Fountain The Captives,' and the Signal,
have. never been excclled in Europe. The exquisite
line, and line and stipple engraVings, will be followed
by a series now on hand for 1914, of most magnificent
subjects. One or more will appear in January.
Charcoal Sketches, Etchihgs on Steel.
These engravings will for the most part illustrate thC
popular stories of Joseph G. Neal, author of Char
coal Sberctes,' and will be finished for us in Yeagcrl
i~mmitable style. Mr.. Neal ranks as the best humoris
in America, and has long been known as American
