CRAHAM's American Monthly Magazine, for
W 1916, will commence new volume December
10th, 1874, with the January number. It's long
and universally successful career, from its CON-
mencement until the preset time, when il has |
circulation exceeding BIZ GtoRsG1ds any other Maga.
zine in the country, is perhaps as good an evidence
Of its great and increasing merit as the publisher
has il in his power to offer. 10 his old subscib-
ers, he trusts assurances are necessary Of his /
determination to maintain il present ascendancy |
over all the rival periodicals Of the country. The
engagement. permanently, during the past year, of |
such men as Bryant, Cooper, Pauiding, Dana, |
Longfeliow, Hoffman, Neal, Mancur, etcs Of high |
reputation IN the literary wsrld, regular con.
tributors, in addition TO the previous list, embrace
ing the 6rst names in the natG, is sufficient guar
antee that the work will continue to be the pFinci
pal medium of communication between the best
authors and The public.
GRAHAM's MAGAzINE has been, from its establish
ment more than any other, the fayOrite periodical
of the people OF the United States. Though its
plan does not entirely exclude articles of the most
| lmdortant characters such as have raised Black
wood and some other foreign journals to their high
influence and reputation, its pages are principally
devoted to what IS usualey termedGgbt literature
| It is distinguished fsom 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 conn
try; The very creators, founders of our Natienal
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
vindicating their intellectual eminence. Il may
be safely asserted, that GrGhGDl's .lagGsine has
regularly engaged better corps Of writer's than
any other magazine; that since its establishment
it has been the pioneer in magazine literature; and
that the contributors of "GRAHAM" have, by their
II

writers as our pages exhibit, we may challenge
; the citzeus of Europe. There is no magazine
abroad that presents any thing like such an array
