GRAHAM's MAGAZINE has been, from its establish
ment more than any other, the favorite periodical
Of the people Of the United States Though its
plan does not entirely exclude articles Of the most
lmdortant character, such as have raised Black
wood and some other foreign journals TO their high
influence and reputation, itS pages are principally
devoted to what IS usualey termed light literature.
| Il Is distinguished tom other publications OF
similar aims BY the literary and artistic merit Of
Its contents, While those Of other works are
unknown or anonymous, the contributors to this
are the most eminent authors of our age and coun-
try; The very creators, founders Of our National
Literature. Especially it is celebrated as contain
ing the choicest productions OF the finest female
writers OF the time. Every number contains gems
which may be appealed to with pride by the SEX as
vindicating their intellectual eminence It may
be safely asserted, that Grahan's .Wagasine has
Regularly engaged better corps OF writer's than
any other magazine; that since its establishment
It has been the pioneer in magazine literature; and
that the contributors OF "GRAHAM" have, by their
able contributors, given Higher National Charac-
ter to periodical literature in the United States
than it ever before possessed. With such list Of

the citiseus Of Europe. There is no magazine
abroad that presents any thing like such an array
