are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writer's 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-
partmens; 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
sNew Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor of the KNIcKERBocKER about twelve
month: il 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 CLARK's super
vision that did not bear ndubitable evidence OF ed
toria care, and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known

asymptotes, whose peculiarly is always to approach
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-

and excellence; and yet it seems to have an ercei-

went before. Howit is done our friend CLARK may
