THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and

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 new and beautiful type, in all its de-
partments and in its rich and diversified contents,
continues TO vindcate its reputation the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
the United States. When first started the old
New Yorker, our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor of the KNIcKERBocKER about 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 the X. has ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubitable evidence of ed
torial 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 strictest sense Of the term '-Neo
York Daily Tribune.
'MATHEMATIcIANs tell US of certain curves called
asymptotes, 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 perpetu
ally approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an ercel
sior, for each number better than that which
went before. How it is done friend CLARK may
understand-but it is a sealed mystery TO us. There
is publication in the United States that has at
tractive or popular feature the Editors table of
the KNIcKERBocKER .'-Ne,c York Courier and En-
qliirer.

THE KNIcKERBocKER is one of the most valuable

''The Editors Table alone is worth the price of
the work. 1t Is 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,

popular libraries, is consulted ESQ the Librarian
