| the KNIcKERBocKER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
parmonts; and in it's rich and diversified contents,
continues TO vindicate its reputation as the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
| the United States. When we first started the old
| New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor of the KNIcKERBocKER about a twelve
month: il has now reached an age greatly beyond
| that of any American Monthly; a fact which liter
ally speaks volumes in praise of the manner IN
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the X. has ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubitabe evidence OF cdi-
torial care and anxious thought and well directed
labor enstamped upon It's pages. we have known
no monthly, Of this country or Europe, so thorough
ly edited, in the strctest sense OF the term-Neio
York Daily Tribune.

asynptOteS, whose popularity is always to approach
each other, and yet, even when Infinitely extended
never to intersect. The KNICKERBocKER, which
has reached age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for man, and only to be at
| tanned by more marvellous miracle, has perpctu-
ally approached the highest possible point OF interest
and excellence; and yet it seems 10 have an ercei-
sior for each number seems better than that which
