from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers OF distinction.
THE KNIcKEnBooKER.-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
as 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 not bear indubiable evidence of edi
torial 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 strictest sense Of the rm.'Neic
York Daily Tribune.
tMATHEmArlCIANs tell us of certain curves called
asynptoes, whose peculiarly is always to approach
each other, and yet, even when infinitely extended,
| never to intersect. The KNIcKERBocKER, which
has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for man, and only to be at
tanned by 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
understandable it is sealed mystery to U.s. There
is publication in the United States that has at

"The Editors Table alone is worth the price of
the work. tits not periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but il forms library book to
and re-read. A set of the KNIcKERBocKER,
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.
