American and British writer's OF distinction.
THE KNIcKERBoCKER.-Thel last number OF this
venerable and widely-p 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
New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor Of the KNIcKERB0cKER about twelve
month: it has 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 X. has ever been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear indubtable evidence OF edi-
toral CARE and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
monthly of this country or Europe, so thorough
ly edited, in the strctest sense Of the term. -NsU

ally approached the highest possible point OF interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an ercel
