| Graham's is the oldest and most popular of Anne
rican Literary Magazines The number for Janu.
ary 1916, will be the first of the twentyeighth vol
Its long and uniformly successful career from its
commencement with few hundred subscribers, I'M
til the present time, when it has circulation
ceeding by thousands all Others is perhaps good
an evidence Of its great and constantly increasing
merit as the publishers have it in their power to Of
fer To its old subscribers they trust assurances
are necessary Of their determination to maintain its
present ascendancy over all the rival periodicals of
the country. The engagement Of such men Bry-
ant, LongteUor, Cooper, Dana, Hoffman, .nancur
and Others, of high reputation in the literary world,
as regular contributors in addition to list cmbrac-
ING many of the first names in the nation is sufi-
cient guarantee that the work will continue to be
the principal medium of communication between
the best authors and the public.
Besides these we'll known and universally popular
writers, many anonymous contributors Of distin-
guished merit furnish articles for nearly every num-
ber and in each will be found an able letter upon
the literature of Europe, from our able correspon-
dent, F. j. Gruld, Esq.
Our Elegant Paris Fashion Plates.
The splendid fashion plates, with which we shall
ready awakened the jealousy of our contemporaries,
and they show their annoyance by all manner OF
torture of the word Paris It seems to be both
charm and bane to them. We have only to say
that our December number contains specimen of
what Our Paris Fashions are and will be, and we
must trust the eyes of the public to detect the su-
perior value of those designed, engraved printed
and colored at the headquarters of the fashionable
world over the vapid limitations, which got up
here at least sixty days DID, and palmed off correct
In January We shall have most elegant style of
cloak patterns and it will be issued early, say by
December 10th. we advise our fair readers not to
spoil their material by following the blind guides of
last year, but to adopt the true fashions or 1916.
Splendid Embellishments.
In the department of Engravings, it is we'll known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any pc
riodical work ever published in this or any other
country. The highest ambition of rival publishers
seems thus far to have been to maintain respectable
imitation of the numerous costly and beautiful
works of art with which the successive numbers of
this journal have been graced. In the course OF the
succec ding volumes many important neaU features
will be introduced. Sartin, the most celebrated
best in Europe will continue to furnish his exquisite
productions; and Ralrdon, Wright g. Hatch; SmiAie
Is. HinShellUood, and oshers, of New York, and
Cheney, DOdSon, Welch & Walters, Tucker, and
Others Of Philadelphia, all among the most eminent
Line Engravers Of the present century, have been
engaged to furnish succession of highly finished
steel engravngs, superior to any that have hitherto
appeared in periodicals.
Our Reuieao Department
Will continue to embrace notes on current litera-
ture, ETC., and reviews of all new American and
foreign works of general interest or value. The
criticisms of Graham's Magazine are acknowledged
in all parts of this country be superior in acumen
honesty and independence to those of any cotem-
porary.
TER.uS.-Graham's Magazine will be published
about the first of each month every quarter of the
Union The most distant subscribers will therefore
receive it on before that day, well as those who
reside in Philadelphia. The Proprietors being more
DESTROYS presenting the best and most beautiful than
