and universally successful career, from itg COM
mencement until the preset time, when il has a
circulation erceeding By tlonsarlds any other Maya

determination to maintain its present ascendancy
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 tire United States. Though its
plan does not entirely exclude articles Of the most
| lmdoTtant character, such have raised Black
wood and some other foreign journals TO their high
influence and reputation its pages are principally
devoted 70 what usualey termed light literature.
| Il is distinguished from 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 National
Literature Especially it Is celebrated as contain
ing the choicest productions of the finest female
writer's OF the time. Every number contains gems
which may be appealed to with pride by the SEX as
vndicating their intellectnaul emnence. Il may
| be safely asserted, that Grdtanl's JMagGsi1e has
regularly engaged better corps of writer's than
any other magazine; that since its establishment
1t has been the pioneer in magazine literature; and
that the contributors Of tsGRAHAM" have byltheir
able contributors, given a Higher National Charac-
ter to periodical literature in the United States
than it ever before possessed. With such list of
| writers as pages exhibit, we may challenge
the citzeus of Europe. There is no magazine
abroad that presents any thing like such an array
of eminent writer's as DANES FennimoIe Cooper,
w. e. Brant, Hon. JAS K Pauding, R. II. Dana,
H. w. ongiellow, Nathaniel Hawthorne, ]. C.
