THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark.
vT>HIs is pronounced, by the press Of America and
i England, the best magazine in America. II
its list of upsDGrd of hundred contributors found
the names Of every distinguished writer, male and
female, in America, with several equally prominent
of Great Britain, Turkey, Sweden, etc. new
If he editor engraved by CHENEY, from a painting
by ELLIOTT, will commence ON the first day OF July,
1849. The following notices of the KNcKERBocKER
are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers Of distinction
THE KNIcKERBocKRR.--The 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
the United States. When we first started the old
New Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
rs 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 X. has ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubitabe evidence OF edi-
torial care and anxious thought, and elldirected
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, Of this country or Europe, 30 thorough
y edited, in the strictest sense of the term
York Daily Tribune.
sMArHEMATIcIANs tell US of certain curves called
asympotes, whose popularity 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 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 ercel
si0y, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
