THE KNIcKERBocKER The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and beautiful type, in all its de-
parments; and in its rich and diversified contents
continues to vindcate 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 KNfcxERBocKEa about twelve
month: 1t has reached 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 the X has been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear indubitabe evidence Of edi
toraI care and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly Of this country or Europe, SO thorough
ly edited, in the strctest sense of the term.Neic
