Exceeding By tlORsGads any other M.aga-

Of its great and increasing merit as the puDAsner

over all the rival periodicals Of the country. The

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
lmdorsant character, such as have raised Black
wood and some other foreign journals 10 their high
influence and reputation, its pages are principally
devoted TO what Hsualey termed lc4ht literature |
II is distinguished ffom 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
LeterGture. 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
vindcating their intelsctuaul eminence. 1t may
be safely asserted, that GrGhGnl's JHagGsine has
regularly engaged a 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
writers as our pages exhibit, we may challenge
the citiZeus of Europe. There is magazine
abroad that presents any thing like such an array
of eminent writer's as danes FennimoIe Cooper,
