THE KNrcKEHaocKEs. THE last number of this
venerable and widelyrpopular 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, 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; fact (which liter
ally speaks volumes in praise of the manner in
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the K has been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear indubtabe evidence of edi
toral care, and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon it's pages. We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe 30 thorough

has reached age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for q 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 ercei

went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may

THE KNIcKERBocKER is of the most valuable
magazines of the day, and outstrips all competition

''1he Editors Table alone Is worth the price Of
the work. II Is periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms library book to
save and re-read. A set of the KNIcKERBocKER,
bound up in volumes, the shelves of one of our
popular Libraries, is more consulted lso the librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work.
