THE KNIcKERBocK The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely new 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
az Editor of the KNIcKERBocKER about 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 ever been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did bear indubtable evidence of edi-
torial care, and anxious thought and well-directed
labor enstamped upon its pages We have known
no monthly, Of this country or Europe 30 thorough
ly edited in the srictest Of the term. -NetD

the work tits not periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but il forms a library book to
