THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
j. England 'the best magazine In America IL
has nearly reached its thirty fourth Uoltime, and in
its list of upoard 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, a portrait
qf the editor engraved by CHENEY, from painting
by ELLIOTT will commence on the first dayof July,
lS49. The following notices of the KNIcKERBocKER
are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers Of distinction.
THE KNIcKERBocKER.-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: ii has 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 been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear ndubitable evidence Of cd-
torial care and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages We have known
no monthly Of this country or Europe, 80 thorough
ly edited in the strictest sense OF the term.'-NeD
York DAILY Tribune.
sMATHEMA TIcIANs tell us of certain curves called
each other and yet, even when infinitely extended,
never to intersect. The KNICKERBocKER, which
has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for 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 erce-
sior for each number seems better than that which
went before How it is done our friend CLARK may

THE KNIcKERBoCKER is one OF the most valuable
magazines of the day, and outstrips all competition

"Ihe Editors Table alone is worth the price of
the work. tits not periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms library book to
save and re- read. A set of the KNIcKERBoCKER,
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.
