Graham pursues the even tenor Of its way, proud
ly at the head Of the periodical literature Of the
day-with its 50, 900 readers, gradually widening
its influence and 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 iu the coming volume greatly to
ampfy the literary department of the work-to
engage none but the very best writers-to open a
field for young writers Of merit-and, in fine, to |
cultivate National Periodical Literature, which
shall command respect at hcme and abroad.

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
ed in our language.
