We have the pleasure of being able to announce
to the sc, 900 readers of Grahsm's Magazine, that
we commenced the publication, in the November
number Of Graham's Magazine, Of a new novel by
James Fennimore Copper ,entiiled THE ISLETS
OF THE GULF Sea Novel, written in the
very best vein of that accomplished novelist. This
Story which ls 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 the
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 novel will run through IL or
II numbers of Graham, and we predict for it
run unequalled by any thing Cooper has ever
written. ~"
Subscribers to the January volume of the Mag
azine will receive the entire sheets of The Islets
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-1
zne that subscribers will receive this novel in
addition to the usual quantity Of reading matter ia
Graham. The publishers have given
$1,000 FOR THE NOVEL, H- 40
And with the Premiums, 81 900 for Prizes, Graham
will undoubtedly excel all the Magazines for lS47-
ELEGANT PARIS FASHIONS IN EVERY
NUMBER.-While all the other monthly period.
icas are 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--with its so 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 u the coming volume greatly to
ampIify the literary department of the work-to
engage none but the very best wIiters-to open a
field for young writers of merit-and, in fine, to
cultivate a National Periodical Literature, which
shall command respect at heme and abroad. t
FOR THE NEW VOLUME.
In addition 10 the host of able writer's 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
ed IN our language.
