THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark.
TINIIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
i England, the best magazine in America II
has nearly reached its Mnty.fo volume, and in
its list of poard Of hundred contributors are found
the names of every distinguished writer, male and
female in America, with several equally prominent

by ELLIOTT, will commence on the first day yof july
l849. The following notices of the KNICKERBocKER
are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writerspf distinction.
THE KNIcKERBocKER.-The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely and beautiful type, in all its de-
partmcnts; 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 fret started the old
sNew Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded US
as Editor Of the KNIcKERBocKER about twelve
month"; il has now 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 ocrdncted. No number
Of the X has ever been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear indubitabe evidence Of cdi
torial care and anxious thought and well-directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly Of this country Europe, 30 thorough
ly edited, in the strctcst sense of the term-NesD

sMArHEMArIoIANs tell us of certain curves called
asynptoes, whose popularity is always to approach
each other and yet, even when infinitely extended,
never to intersect The KNIcKERBocKKR, which
has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for man, and only TO be at
tanned by a more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems TO have an ercel
sior for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARE may
understandable it is a scaled mystery to US. There
is no publication in the United States that has so at
