"A NEW NOVEL BY COOPERATIVE IS
LETS OFlTHE GULF" powerful Sea story.
IN the best style Of the author Of The Red Rover,
Water Witch &c.
o We have the pleasure Of being able to announce
TO the so 900 readers Of Graham's M9gazne, tnat
we commenced the publication, in the November
number of Grahams Magazine, OF new novei ~
James Fennimore Cooper ,entitled THE lSLEiS
OF THE GULF a Sea Novel, written IN the
verv best vein of that accomplished novelist. This
Story which is intended to bring out the authors
brilliant goYers in the description of Sea scenes
and incidents, while il will describe most power
fully nautical adventures and engagements, has
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 sGraham, and we predict for it a
srun.' unequalled by any thing Cooper has ever
written.
Subscribers to the January volume of the Mag
azine will receive the entire sheets of 'The lslets
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 IN
Graham. The publishers have given
,a 81, 200 FOR THE NOVEL,
And with the Premiums, 81 900 for Prizes, Graham
will undoubtedly excel all the Magazines for lS47.

its influence and extending its circulation. The
policy adopted in this Magazine, of giving the best

We have resolved, so far as Graham is con-
cerned, to give proper direction to the popular
taste; and propose iu the coming volume greatly to
amplify the literary department of the work-to
engage none but the very best wTters-to open

cultivate National Periodical Literature, which
shall command respect at hcme and abroad. l,
