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

as Editor of the KNIcKERBocKER about twelve

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 CLARKs super
vision that did not bear ndubitable evidence OF ed
torial care, and anxious thought and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
