THE KNIcKERBocKER.-The last number OF TINS
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, IN all us ae-
partmens and in its rich and diversified contents
continues to vindicate its reputation as the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine puDlshed In
the United States. When we first started the Ola
New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor of the KNIcKERBocKER 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 CLARK's super
vision that did not bear ndubtable evidence OF edi,
torial care and anxious thought and well-directed
labor enstamped upon its pages We have known
monthly, ofthis country or Europe 30 thOrough-
ly edited in the strictest sense OF the Term.
