THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark.
T,HIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
Il England, the best magazine in America II
has nearly reached its thirty fourth rotums, and in
its list of upcard of hundred contributors found
the names of every distinguished writer, male and
female, in America, with several equally prominent
of Great Britain, Turkey, Sweden, etc. new
volume, containing q superb engraving, portrait
at the editor engraved by CHENEY, from painting
by ELLIOTT, will commence on the first day OF July,
l649. The following notices of the KNIcKERBocKER
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 It's de-
partments; and in its rich and diversified contents,
continues to vindicate its reputation the most
| agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
the United States. When we first started the old
| sNcw Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded US
| as Editor of the KSICKERsoCKER about a 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 has ever been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear ndubitable evidence of ed
toral care, and anxious thought, and weil-drected
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
monthly, of this country or Europe, so thorough
ly edited, in the strictest sense OF the term Netc
York Daily Tribune.
sMATHEMArIcIANs tell us of certain curves called
asynpt0fes whose popularity is always to approach
each other, and yet, 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 a more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point OF interest
and excellence; and yet it seems TO have an eIcei
sior, for each number better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
understandable it is a sealed mystery to U.S. There
