Grahams is the Oldest and most popular of Anne
rcan Literary Magazines. The number for Janu-
airy, 1916, will be the first of the twenyeighth vol.
Its long and uniformly successful career, from its
commencement with few hundred subscribers, I'M
til the present time, when it has circulation ex-
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 no
are necessary of their determination to maintain its
present ascendancy all the rival periodicals of
| the country. The engagement ofsuch mon as BTy-
ant, Longtelgoar, Cooper, Dana, Huffman, .uancu'
and others, of high reputation in the literary world,
regular contributors in addition to list embrac-
inc many of the first names in the nation is sutfi-
lcient 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
Der, and in each will be found an able letter upon
the literature of Europe, from able correspon-
dent, F. J. Grund, Esq.
Our Elegant Paris Fashion Plates.
The splendid fashion plates, with which we shall
ladorn each number of Graham for 1885, have al
ready awakened the jealousy of our contemporaries,
and they show their annoyance by all manner OF
torture of the word Paris 1t seems to be both
charm and bane to them. We have only to say
that our December number contains u 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 the vapid limitations, which are got up
here at least sixty days DID, and pamed 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 for 1896
Splendid Embellishments.
In the department of Engravings it is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any pc
riodcal 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 of the
succeeding volumes many important ae,o features
will be introduced. Sartin, the most celebrated
Mezzotint Engraver in the Union, and equal Of the
best in Europe will continue to furnish his exquisite
productions; and Ra,rdon, Wright s. Hatch; Smilie
& Hinshelavood, and oshers, of New York, and
Cheney, Dodsom, WeIch g. Walters, Tucker, and
others, OF Phllade!phla, 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 Repie1U Department
Will continue to embrace notes on current htera-
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 to be superior in acumen,
honesty and independence to those OF any cotem-
porary.
