THE KSICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
| Edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark.
ITHIS is pronounced, by the press Of America and
Il England, sthe best magazine in America II
has nearly reached its thirty fourth uol,ins and in
its list Of uptcard 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. A new
volume, containing superb engraving, portrait
| qf the editor engraved by CHENEY, from painting
by ELLIOTT, will commence on the first dayof July,
l849. The following notices. the KsIcKEaBocxER
are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writer's Of distinction
| THE EKNIcKERBocKER.--The last number OF this
upon entirely new 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
| as Editor Of the KSIcKERBocKER about a twelve
| month: il has 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 CLARK's super
vision that did not bear indubable evidence OF ed
toria care, and anxious thought and well-directcd
| labor cnstamped upon its pages. We have known
monthly, Of this country or Europe, SO thorough
y edited, in the strictest sense of the Nelp
York Daily Tribune.
sMArHEAArIcrASs tell us of certain curves called
Gsymptotes, whose popularity is always to approach
never to intersect. The KSIcKERBocKER, which
has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for a man, and only to be at
tained by more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point Of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an excel
s0r for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
understand-but it is sealed mystery to us. There
is no publication in the United States that has 80 at
tractive popular feature the Editors table of

I'VE regard it the very best work of its kind in
the Union. .'-St. Adams (Ta.) Journal.
Its contents are as invariably good as its appear
ance is punctual '-WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT, in

Its articles are worthy of BLAcKwooD's palmiest
| days. The Edtor's Table is in Mr.. CLARK's hap
piest vein; varied and racy in remarkable degree

THE KNIcKERBocKER seems to increase in attrac-
ton as it advances in age. 1t exhibits monthly
variety of contributions unsurpassed in number or
abity.'-Nationai Inteliigencer.
THE KNIcxERBocKER is one Of the most valuable
magazines of the day, and outstrips all competition
in the higher walks Of lieraturc. A6any Arglis.
"1'he Editors Table alone Is worth the price Of
the work. 1t is not periodical 10 be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms library book to
save and rc-read. A set of the KNcKERBocKER,
bound up in volumes, on the shelves Of one Of our
popular libraries, is more consulted (so helibraran
has often told us) than any other similar work.
