For the year s44 the publisher has given about
100 pages more original matter than any of his CO.
temporaries mote original steel engravings, in adj

cheapness and merit Of thee-dollar magazine over

lof Seven Thousand Dollars greater than othersand
an addition of engravings over other magazines that
would embelish thc costliest Annual The pub
Usher is however satisfied that nothing but real er
ceilence can maintain the high position his perodi-
cal has attained in the UntGcd States,
| The publisher does not hesitate TO say that he
deGes all competition with Graham's magazine for
ls45. His immense subscription list the merit
and number of his contributors, the high order of
the cngravers engaged, the number and variety of
leegant plates already purchased and OH hand, and
the immense facility which his capital and pOsitionl
give to prosecute the work render any efforts at Ii
lval matter of ridcule, Every number of the
work issued, bears with it the evidence OF its tri-
lumphsnt success, and establishes the impossbllity

for good works, that nothing of a humbug order
Twill be tolerated.

Ing nearly half the most of the plates are ON
Original American Paintings, executed expressly

style may be estimated wheT, we state that some u
these pictures cost $500 piece and will cost Us
some of them three times that sum to have then
