ELEGANT PARIS FASHIONS IN EVERY NO.
The great popularity of Graham's Magazine, in
every part of the Union, in consequence of the
gagement of the very best writers contributors;
and artists of the highest celebrity and acknow-
lodged abilities to illustrate the work. has made it
sort of polar star to all the other periodicals. So
that every thing done by Graham is instantly pro-
missed by the whole tribe The promise the public
might forgive, or at least forget, but the wretched
| attempts made 10 initiate the costly and beautiful
works of art which adorn this work. and the power
ty of their limitations in the literary department,
have impaired the public confidence and given turn
bring it into disrepute and contempt.
We have resolved, so far as Graham is concern
ed to correct the error, and as the magazine tera
ture of America is now confined to Graham and
his imitators, we are determined to give proper
direction to the popular taste; and propose in the
coming volume greatly to amplify the literary de-
partment of the work-to engage none but the very
best wrers-to open a field for young writers of
merit-and in fine, to cultivate National Periodi-
cal Literature, which shall CONN lxespect at
home and abroad.

The Magazine has become the standard of taste
in matters of establishment, and has led the way in
every thing really beautiful published in the Maya
zines. The voice of the public press, while it pa-
ces the work at the
HEAD OF AMERICAN LITERATURE,
is unanimous in the announcement, that no work
ever started in the country has been so elegantly
embellished or has rapidly increased. For the
new volume, the most extensive arrangements have
been made, with the most distinguished artists in
the country, for supply Of elegant embellishments
of all sorts.
OUR BEAUTIFUL MEZZOTINT ENGRAVINGS.
1t affords us much satisfaction to be able to state,
that we have made arrangements with Mr.. Sartin,
the accomplished Mezzotint Engraver, whose plates
have contributed so much to the beauty of the Ma
gazine heretofore, by which we secure his splendid
Mezzotints for this work alone. Those beautiful
will, therefore, form feature of Ora

any thing like competition on this ground

signs sent to Graham that they excite only con-
tempt. Our arrangements are complete, and we
