THE KNIcKERBocKER The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
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
sNew Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded US
as Editor Of the KNIcxEnBocKER about twelve
month: it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; fact which liter
ally speaks voumes' 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 indubtabe evidence OF edi
toral care, and anxious thought and well-directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, Of this country or Europe so thorough
ly edited in the strictest of the term. .Ne,D
