THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
| Edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark.
VNHIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
| Il England, 'the best magazine in America IL
has nearly reached its thirty fourth ool,ne, and In
its list Of pioard Of hundred contributors are 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 superb engraving, portrait
| Of the editor engraved by CHENEY, from painting
by ELLIOTT, will commence on the first dayof July,
| lS49. The following notices OF the kNIcKERBooKER
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-
partments; and in it's rich and diversified contents,
continues to vndicate it's 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: 1t 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 has ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubitabe evidence OF edi-
toral care and anxious thought, and well directed
| labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
monthly, Of this country or Europe, 30 thorough
ly edited, in the strictcst sense of the term-e,o
York Daily Tribune.
sMATHEmATIcIANs 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 KNIcKERBocKEa, which
| has reached an age for a 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 seems to have an ercet-
sor, 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 30 at
