THE KyTcKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press Of America and
il England, sthe best magazine in America IL
has nearly reached its thirty fourth Uol,nns, and in
its list of tpsoard 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
volume, containing superb engraving, portrait
Qf he editor engraved by CHENEY, from painting
by ELLIOTT, will commence on the first dayof July,
l649. The following notices Of the KNIcKERBoCKER
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-
partmens; and in its rich and diversified contents,
continues 10 vindicate its reputation as the most
agreeable and entertaining Maeazine published IN
the United 6tAtss. When we hrst started the old
New YORKER our friend CLARx had preceded US
as Editor of the KNIeKERBocKER about twelve
month: it has 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 K has ever been issued under CLAsxs super
vision that did not bear ndubitable evidence OF edi
toria care, and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
monthly, of this country or Europe, 80 thorough
ly edited, in the strictest Of the term Nsto
York Daily Tribune.
sMATHEMATIcIANs tell us of certain curves called
asymptotes whose popularity is always to approach
each other, and vet when infinitely extended,
never to intersect The KNIcK ERBoCKER, which
has reached age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for a man, and only 10 DC 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 excel
si0r 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 no publication in the United States that has at
tractive popular feature the Editor table OF
the KSIcKERBoCKER.'-Nelo York Courier and En-
qairr.
I'VE regard it as the very best work of its kind in
the Union st Adams (Ha.) Journal.
Its contents invariably good as its appear
ance is punctual. '-WnLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, IN
the Ne,c York Epening Post.
Its articles are worthy of BLAoKwooD's palmiest
days. The Editors Tube is in Mr.. CLARx's hap
piest vein; varied and racy in q remarkable degree

sTHE KNICKERBocKER seems to increase IN attrac-
ton as it advances in age. 1t exhibits monthly
variety of contributions unsurpassed in number or
abhty.'-NatiOnGi inteiiigencr.
THE KNIcKERBoCKER is one of the most valuable
magazines of the day, and outstrips all competition
in the higher walks of literature. Albany Argp.
"1'he Editors Table alone is worth the price OF
the work tits periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms library book to
save and re-read. A Get of the KNIcKERBocxER,
bound up in volumes, ON the shelves OF one OF our
popular libraries, is consulted ESQ the Librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work =
