i. GRAHAM,s MAGAZINE has been, from It's 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
, lmdortant character, such have raised Black
wood and some other foreign journals TO their high
influence and reputation Its pages are principally
devoted to what usualey termed light literature.
1t is distinguished ftom other publications of
similar aims by the literary and artistic merit #
. 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
Literature. 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
, Evindicating their intellectual eminence. 1t may
u be safely asserted, that GrahGnI's Magazine has
regularly engaged better corps OF writers than |
any other magazine; that since its establishment
it has been the pioneer in magazine literature; and

able contributors, given Higher National Charac-
ter to periodical literature in the United States
