The publisher does not hesitate to say,
that he deies all competition with Ora
hams Magazine Tor 1874. His immense
subscription lial, The merit and number Of
his contributors, Tie high order of the en-
gravers engaged, the number and variety
Of elegant plates already purchased and Ola
hand, and the immense facility which his
capital and position give him 10 prosecute
the work, render any efforts at rivalry q
matter Of ridicule. Every number Of tho
work issued, bears with it. the evidence Of
its triumphant success, and establishes the
mpossibility Of successful competition.
Every number OF Graham's Magazine
issued at a cost Of nearly $400O--:le plates
alone cost nearly half the sun. Most of
The plates arc from original American PAIN,
tings. executed expressly for the p%ropris-
tor, for engravings Tor the Magazine. A.
mong the picIures painted for the volume
for 1874. are W. by SuIly, the great artist,
several by Leutze, Chapman, lnman, Cons
aroe. Rothefmel, Thon pson, and others of
the best artists Of America. The cost Of
getting up embellishments in this style,
may be estimated when we state that some.
of these pictures cost $500 a piece, and,
will cost us some oil them three times that
sum TO have them engraved and worked
of for the edition oil Graham. Blu, no cost

at the head Of the periodicals of the world.
