venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, In all It's de-
partments; and in its rich and diversified contents
continues to vindicate It's reputation as the most

sNew Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor Of the KNIcKERBooKER 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 K has ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubitabe evidence OF edl
toral care, and anxious thought and eli-drectea
labor enstamped upon its pages we have known
