venerable and widely popular periodical appears
UPON entirely and beautiful type, in all its de-
partments; and in its rich and diversified contents,

agreeable and entertaining Magazine Pubiishca IN
the United States When we first started the old
| New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded US
as Editor Of the KNICKERBoCKEn about a twelve
month: it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; fact which liter
| ally speaks Volumes in praise OF the manner In
which the work has been conducted. No number
of ne K has ever been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear indubtabe evidence Of ed-
torn care and anxious thought, and well directed
! labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe, 30 thorough

is no publication in the United States that has 80 at
