THE KNIcKERBocxER last number OF this
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

that of any American Monthly; fact which liter
