THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
il England, the best magazine in America II
has nearly reached its thirty fourth pollime, and in
its list of uptoard of hundred contributors found
the names of every distinguished writer, male and
female, in America, with several equally prominent
of Great Britain, Turkey, Sweden, etc. A new
volume, containing a superb engraving, portrait
Of the editor engraved by CHENEY, from painting
by ELLIOTT, will commence on the first dayof July,
l649 The following notices of the KMCKERBocKER
are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers Of distinction.
THE KNIcKERBooKER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, in all its de-
partments and in its 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 twelve
month: it has 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 the X. has been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubable evidence of edi
torial care, and anxious thought and well directed
no monthly, Of this country Europe, thorough
ly edited in the strictest sense of the term. -Nso
York Daily Tribune
sMATHEmArIcIANs tell us of certain curves called
each other, and yet, even when infinitely extended,
never to intersect. The KNIcKERBoCKER, which
has reached age for a Magazine much greater
than hundred years for a man, and only to be at
tanned by more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point OF interest
and excellence and yet it seems to have an ercel-
sior for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may

bound up in volumes, on the shelves OF one of our
popular libraries is consulted (so the librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work.
