in the best style of the author of The Red Rover,
Water Witch, &c. Js lp
We have the pleasure of being able to announce
to the 30 900 readers of Graham's Magazine, that
we commenced the publication, in the November
number of Graham's Magazine, of new novel by
James Fennmore Copper entitled THE lSLETS
OF THE GULF Sea Novel, written in the
very best vein of that accomplished novelist. This
Story which Is intended to bring out the authors
brilliant covers in the description of Sea Scenes
and incidents, while il will describe most power
fully nautical adventures and engagements, has a
delightful vein of sentiment running through the
entire work. The heroine, 'RosE,' is one of the
sweetest characters ever drawn by Mr. Cooper,
and one of the Old Salts has vein of humor and
home-spun philosophy equal to 'Natty Bumpo' in
his best days This novel will run through IL or
IA numbers of Graham, and we predict for it
'run.' unequaed by any thing Cooper has ever
written
Subscribers to the January volume of the Mag
azne ill receive the entire sheets of The lsets
of The Gulf which commences in November
1t is understood that the novel will make from 10
to Is pages EXTRA, in each number of the Maga-
zine, so that subscribers will receive this novel in
addition TO the usual quantity Of reading matter ia

ELEGANT PARIS FASHIONS IN EVERY

icas crumbling to decay, and resorting to eve
ry eXpedient to save themselves from destruction,
Graham pursues the even tenor of its way proud
ly at the head of the periodical literature of the
day-wilh its SO, 900 readers, gradually widening
its influence aud extending its circulation The
policy adopted in this Magazine, of giving the best
both in literature and art, has established it upon
the secure basis Of public confidence.
We have resolved, so far as Graham is con.
cerned, to give proper direction to the popular
taste; and propose u the coming volume greatly to
ampfy the literary department of the work-to
engage none but the very best wTlters-to open a
field for young writer's of mert-and, in fine, to
cultivate National Periodical Literature, which
shall command respect at home and abroad.
FOR THE NEW VOLUME.
In addition to the host of able writers who have
enriched our pages by their productions, we shall
have the advantage of being able to publish some
of the most brilliant articles that have ever appear

For the New Year, we have made the most lib
eral arrangements in regard to the work, with =
determination TO make
A GREAT NATIONAL MAGAZINE,
Contributed TO by the highest talent in the coun-
try-iree from all cliques and sectional differen-
ces, and relying on the merits of its literary mat.
ter, and the exceency Of its illustrations for still
wider support
The volume to be opened with new and beau
tiul type the finest white paper, and with
SERIES OF EMBELLISH HMENTS,
Unsurpassed by any which have yet appeared IN
any Magazine ..
Graham has become the standard of taste in
matters Of establishment, and has led the way IN
every thing really beautiful published in the Maga-
zines The voice OF the public press, while it pla-
ces the work at the
HEAD OF AMERICAN LITERATURE,
Is unanimous in the announcement. that no work
ever started in the county has been so elegantly
embellished, or has so rapidly increased.
OUR MEZZOTINT ENGRAyINGS.
II affords US much satisfaction to be able to state
that we have made arrangements with Mr.. SAR-
TAIN, the accomplished Mezzotint Engraver,
whose plates have contributed so much to the
beauty of the Magazine heretofore, by which we
secure his splendid Mezzotints for this work alone.
These beautiful engravings will, therefore, forma
feature Of Graham's Magazine. SO that we shalIbe
able to distance any thing like competition ON this
ground.
OUR BEAUTIFUL FASHION PLATES.
These exquisite creations of taste and skill we
have engaged exclusively from the publisher of
lie Follet, and all other efforts 10 get them have
failed. An attempt has been made to deceive the
public, by re.engravlng the old designs; but these
duplicates are far beneath the original Paris de-
signs sent to Grabam,' that they excite only con.
tempt. Our arrangements are complete, and we
cannot be equaled IN the beauty and correctness
of this department of the Magazine These plates
appear in every number.
