agreeable and entertaining Magazine published IN

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; 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 CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubitable evidence of ed
torial care and anxious thought, and ll-drected
labor enstamped upon its pages We have known

"1he Editors Table alone is worth the price OF
the work. It's not periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms Library book TO
save and re-read. A set of the KNIcKERBooKER,
bound up in volumes, on the shelves Of one OF our
popular libraries is more consulted ESQ the librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work.
