sNew Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded US
as Editor of the KNIcKERBoCKER about twelve
month: it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; fact which liter
which the work has been conducted. No number
of the X has ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear ndubiable evidence of edi
torial care, and anxious thought and elldirected
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
