The great popularity of Graham's Magazine in ev-
cry part OF the Union, in consequence OF the engage
ment of the very best writer's as contributors and ar
fists Of the highest celebrity and acknowledged ab
tiles to illustrate the work has made il sort Of polar
star to all the other periodicals; that everything
DONE by "Graham" is instantly promised by the whole
tribe. The promise the public might forgive, or at
least forget IT, but the wreched attempts made 10 im
tate the costly and beautiful works Of art which adorn
this work, and the poverty Of their limitations in the
literary department, have impaired the public conli
dcnce and given turn to our periodical literature,
which would ultimately bring itno disrepute and con-
tempt We have resolved, as far as "Graham is con-
Ccued, TO correct the error and the magazine lite
nature Of America is now confined to "Graham" and
his imitators, we are determined to give proper di-
rcction to the popular taste; and propose in the
ing volume greatly TO ampliy the literary department
Of the wOrk-to engage none but the very best writer's

fine, TO cultivate a National Periodical Literature,
which shall command respect at home and abroad.

ul type tho finest white paper, and with series of
Embellishments unsurpassed by any which have yet

bOvG ALL the tone Of its literary department given it
by the brilliant array Of its contributors whose arti-
cCs will enrich the pages Of each number, will give it
a character above any other magazine in the Union.
The Magazine has become the standard of taste in
matters Of establishment, and has led the way in
cry thing really beautiful published in the magazines.
The voice of the public press, while it places the
work at the head of American Literature is mani
nous in the announcement, that no work ever start
ed in the country has been 50 elegantly embellished
or has so rapidly increased. For the new volume
the most extensive arrangements have been made
with the most distinguished artists in the country for
a supply of embellishments of all sorts.
Our BEAUTIFUL MEZzOTINT ENGRAvINGs.--It aE-
lors much satisfaction to be able to state that
have made arrangements with Mr. Sartain, the accom-
pshed mezzotnt engraver, whose plates have conri-
butcd much to the beauty of the magazine hereto
fore, by which we secure his splendid mczzOtints for
| this work alone. These beautiful engravings will,
therefore, form ieature"Of Graham's Magazine so
that we shall be able to distance any thing like COM
petitors on this ground.
Our BEAUTIFUL FASHION PLATEs-These cXquis-
tc creations of taste and skill we have engaged
cusivcly, from the publisher of "Le Folle," and all
other efforts to get them have failed. An has
been made to deceive the public, by rc-cngravng the
old designs; but these duplicates are far beneath
the original designs sent to "Graham" that they cX-
cite only contempt. Our arrangements are complete
and we cannot be equaled in the beauty and correct
ness of this department of the Magazine. These
plates appear in every number
TIE LOWEST TERMs.-The propritors being more
dcsrous of publishing the handsomest and best, than
the cheapest work in the Union, while at the same
time they are anxious to bring within the reach OF
all, offer the following the lowest possible terms al
which they can afford the work in its elegant style
for 1916. Three dollars per unnum in advance for
