THE KNICKERBOCkERM MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark.
THIS is pronounced. by the press of America and
il England, 'the best magazine in America IL

are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writer's OF distinction.
THE KNIcKERBocKER.-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 vndicate its reputation az the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published IN
the United States. When we hrst started the old
New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded US
as Editor Of the KsIcKERsocKER about WE'VE WE'VE
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 been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubtabe evidence Of edi
torial care, and anxious thought, and
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
monthly, Of this country or Europe, 30 thorough
ly edited in the strctest sense OF the term --Nesc
York Daily Tribune.
'MATHEMATIcIANs tell us OF certain curves calie1
asympt0tes, whose popularity is always to approach
each other, and yet, even when infinitely exehded
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 ercet
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 US. There
is publication in the United states tnat nae 70 AZ

I'VE regard it as the very best work Of its kind in
the Union st AIbdn's (Va.) Journal
Its contents are invariably good as its appear
ance is punctual. '-WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, IN
the Ne,D York Eosning Post:
Its articles are worthy of BLAcxwooD's paimiest
days. The Editors 1dble is in Mr.. CLARx's hap.
piest vein; varied and racy in remarkable degree
-Ne.o York Commercial AdUertisr.
THE KNIcKER BOOKER seems TO increase in attrac-
ton as it advances in age. II exhibits monthly
variety of contributions unsurpassed In NUMBER or
ability. - National IHteuigencer :,
THE KNICKERBocKER is one OF the most valuable
zines of the day, and outsrips all competition

ss1he Editors Table alone is worth the price OF
the work. Iii not periodical To be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms library book to
