THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
IL England, 'the best magazine In America IL

the names of every distinguished writer, male ana
female, in America, with several equally prominent
of Great Britain, Turkey, Sweden, ETC. new

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 its rich and diversified contents,
continues to vindcate 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 KsIcKERBocKEn about twelve
month: il has now reached 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 K has been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did bear indubitable evidence OF edi-
torial care and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages we have known
no monthly, Of this country Europe, 30 thorough
ly edited in the strictest of the term. Ne'o
York Daily Tribune.
.MATHEMA TIcIANs tell us of certain called
asupptotes 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 marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence; and yet 1t seems to have an ercei-
sior for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done friend CLARK may
understandable it is sealed mystery to us. There
is no publication in the United States that has at
tractive popular feature the Editors table of

THE KNIcKERBoCKER seems to increase in attrac-
ton as it advances in age. 1t exhibits monthly
variety of contributions unsurpassed In number or
ability National Intelligencer.
THE KNIcKERBocKER is one of the most valuable
magazines of the day, and outstrips all competition
in the higher walks of lierature- Albany Argus.
"The Editors Table alone is worth the price Of
the work tits not periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but 1t forms library book to
save and re-read. A set of the KNIcKERBocKER,
bound up in volumes, on the shelves of one of our
popular libraries, is consulted ESQ the librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work.
