THE KNIcKERBocKE 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 a twelve
month: il has reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; fact which Inter-
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 indubitabe evidence OF edi-
labor enstamped upon its pages We have known
monthly, of this country or Europe, 30 thorough
ly edited in the strictest of the term. -Ne,o

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS tell us of certain curves called
aspmptotes whose popularity is always to approach
each other, and yet, when infinitely extended
never to intersect The KNIcKERBocKER, which
has reached age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for a man, and only 10 be at
tanned by a more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point OF interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an ercel-
si0r for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
understandable it is sealed mystery to US. There
is no publication in the United States that has 20 at
tractive popular feature as the Edtt0rs 10te OF

THE KNICKERBocKER is one OF the most valuable
magE zines of the day, and outstrips all competition
in the higher walks of literature. A6any Argus
'1he Editors Table alone is worth the price OF
the work. 1t is periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms library book to
and re-read. A set Of the KNIcKERBocKER,
bound up in volumes, the shelves OF one OF our
popular libraries, is consulted ESQ the librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work.
