partmens; 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 hrst started the old
New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor of the KNIcxERBocKER about a twelve

that of any American Monthly; fact which hter-
ally speaks volumes in praise OF the manner IN
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the X has ever been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear ndubable evidence OF edi-
torial care, and anxious thought and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. we nave known
