See what the Press says of Holden:
"The Editors table is very rich and
amusing-in some respects equal to that of the
Knicksrbocker.''--N Y Evangelist.
"Holden's Dollar Magazine for September is an
excellent number. The literary contents are va
ried and interesting; the Sketches o~fliving Amer
lean Poets and Divines cannot fail of giving the
work a very popular character. The Editors ia
BILE is lively and piquant, and the book notices CO.
pious and candid. We understand the circulation
Of the Magazine is rapidly increasing .-Horace
Greeiy, Of the W Y. Tribune.
HoLDEN's DOLLAR MAGAZINE.-The Sep
TENDER number of this work has been received, and
to simply say that it is a valuable publication,
would not be doing justice to its merits. It's the
best of Magazines, and must soon assume its place
at the head of the literary Press--DemOcraf,
Bloomsbury, ". Y.
''The August No. Of Holden's Dollar Magazine
is now upon our table. In glancing owe, its con-
tents we are forcibly struck at the superior ar.
rangment of every thing appertaining to Litera-
ture and Art. The articles are all of high order--
lar surprising any thing that appears in "Gra-
HAMS" or "Godey's Lady's Book" The typog-
raphy of the No. before us, is most excellent,
vieing in whiteness of paper and clearness and
distinctness of type, with any similar work pub.
lished in the United Statps.-Rep. Jackson, Tenn.
"Holden's Dollar Magazine is the most inter-
esting production of popular literature that we
know. The price, as its name implies, is but one
dollar a year, and we commend every body to SUBJ
scribe for it.-.Advertiser, LoWeH, Mase.
"We believe there is no other periodical publish
ed in America that contains so much choice read
ing matter, and such excellent engravings, Tor so
little money."-Star, Houston, Teas.
Over three thousand five hundred similar no.
tees have been received, but these must suffice,
The object of the Editor has been to give a
Three Dollar Magazine for one third price, and a
glance at Holdens will show the result. No y,
he only asks the support OF the community, and in
return will give improvements as they are deman-
ded
