GRAHAM'S MAGAZINE.

4 Nraham'sM Magazine has long enjoyed the enVlous
" reputation ofbeing the best periodical in the uni
ted States, both in the quality and number of embellish-
ment, and in the tone of its literary matter. 1t is the
cheapest as well as the best. The cheapness and mer-
it ola three dollar magazine over all others are appar-
ent, which has made an outlay Of over
$1,000 GREATER THAN OTHERS
an addition of engravings over other magazines that
would embellish the costliest 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 extends for good works, thai nothing of u
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 iorty-four.--His immense s~ubscrip-
ton list, the merit and the numberof his contributors,
the high order Of the engrayeIs 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 ofits triumph
ant success, and establishes the impossibility 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 enngrayings for the Magazine.
Among the pictures painted for the volumes for 1874,
are two by Sully, the great artist, several by Leutze,
Chapman, lnman, Conaroe, Rothermel, 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-
ged 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 engravings of all sorts lend their
charm to the pages Of Graham'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 o
work, as a regular establishment of the popular
monthhes. 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 "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 inimitabe tales
under way, and shall give one in the January number.
The series of elegant steel engravings from the bu-
rim Of Rawdon, 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 q series now on hand for 1874, Of most magnificent
subjects. One Or more viii appear in January.
Charcoal Sketches, EtchingS on Steel.
These engravings will for the most part illustrate the
popular stories of Joseph G. Neal, author of Char
coal Sketches and will be finished for us in Yeagers
~immitable style. MI. Neal ranks as the best humorist
in America, and has long been known as American
Boz,
The publiseerof Graham gives the correct fashions,
for both ladies and gentlemen, in addition to the usu-
al number of steel and mezzotint engra wings, and doe
not omit a 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 ap-
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
litcrati.
We have under way some fine original matter for the
pages of Graham. This is desirable matter particular
y to subscribers in the country. This with the bril-
liant array of attractions before enumerated, at the
price named, will render Grahams Magazine the most
popular and cheapest periodical in America.
