GRAHAM'S MAGAZINE.a

A Nraham'S magazine has long enjOyeu te enVlous
Z reputation of being the best periodical in the uni
ted States, both in the quality and number of embelish-
ment, and in the tone of its literary matter. 1t is the
cheapest as well as the best. The c~heapnGss and marr
it ola three dollar magazine over all others arc appar
ent, which has made an outlay Of over
$1,000 GREATER THAN OTHERS
an addition of engravings over other magazines that
would cmbellish the c~ostliest annual. The publisher
is however satisfied that nothing but real excellence
can maintain the high position that his periodical Las
attained in the United States, and as the taste i'm
proves and extenos for good works, thai nothing of Il
humbug order will be tolerated.
The publisher does not hesitate to say, that he de-
fes all competition with Graham's Magazine for eigh-
teen hundred and forty-foGr.--His immense subscrip-
ton list, the merit and the number of his contributors,
the high order Of the enSrayers 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 ridicule. Every number of the
work issued, bears with it the evidence of its tliumph-
ant success, and establishes the impossibIity of sue
Cessiul competition.
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 1914,
are two by Suly, the great artist, several by Leutze,
Chapman, Imam, Conaroe, R%othermel, 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-
gcd 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 cngrayings of all sorts lend their
charm to the pages of Gralan'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 0
work, as a regular establishment of the popular
%monthlies. Its wide spread reputation, through the
means of our ample list, called forth a host of imita
tors, but up to this time nothing has been produced to
rival the glorious pictures given in Graham-"The
Shepherds Love- and 1.-The Coquette." 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.
The series of elegant steel engravings from the bu-
rim of Rawdcu, Wright, Hatch & Smile, Jackson,
WEIGH, Walter, and others, which have graced Gra-
hams Magazine, have never been surpassed in the
country, and some of them, Of which we may desig-
nate The Fountain THE Captives,' and the Signal
have never been excelled in Europe. The exquisite
line, and line and stipple engravings, will be followed
by n series now on hand for 1874, of most magnificent
subjects. One or more will appear in January.
Charcoal Sketches, Etchings on Steel.
These engravings viii for the most part illustrate the
popular stories of Joseph G. Neal, author of Char
coal Sketchcs,' and will be finished for us in Yeager's
i~mmitable style. Mr., Neal ranks us the best humorist
in America, and has long been known as American
Boz
Tho publisher of Graham gives the correct fashions,
Cor both ladies and gentlemen, in addition to the usu-
al number Of steel and mezzotint engra wings, and doe
not omit q plate, or give the fashions in place of one,
when they appear in his book.
More particularly for the use OF the ladies, and as
an attractive establishment, we shall continue to give
the handsomest specimens of colored flowers of the
field and garden, a sort Of illustration peculiarly APP
propnate for the study of persons of taste, and widely
sought after by all lovers of the beautiful.
Graham's Magazine is the only periodical that has
the enterprise and sagacity to give to the world a full
series of highly furnished portraits of our distinguished
ltcrati.
We have under way some fine original matter for thc
pages of Graham. This is desirable matter particular
" to subscribers in the country. This with the bril-
liant array of attractions before enumerated, at tn,
price named, viii render Grahams Magazine the mos
popular and cheapest periodical in America.
To PosTMAsTERs AND oTIERs-The high merit ofGra
hams Magazine considered, the publisher 1atters him
self that the following liberal terms will induce thou
sands to subscribe.
Editors copying will be entitled to an exchange 70
one year. Address,
GEO. r.. GRAHAM.
