THE KNIcKERBocKER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, in all Its de-
partments; 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 first started the old
| 'New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
! as Editor of the KNIcKERBocKER about a twelve
month: it has now reached an 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 X. has been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear indubtabe evidence OF edi
torial care and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known

has reached 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 erect
sior for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may

popular libraries, is more consulted $50 the Librarian
