We have the pleasure of being able to announce
to the sc, 900 readers of Grahams Magazine, that
we commenced the publication, in the November
number of Graham's Magazine, of a new novel by
James Fennimore Cooper entitled THE ISLETS
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
delightful vein of sentiment running through the
entire work. The heroine, 'RosE, is one of tho
sweetest characters ever drawn by Mr.. Cooper,
and one of the odd Salts has vein Of humor and
home-spun philosophy equal to 'Natty Bumpo'in
his best days. This move! will run through IL or
IA numbers of Graham, and we predict for it .
'run.' unequalled by any thing Cooper has ever
written. -.ff i-n-..} }s, ~ ~
