American and British writer's OF distinction.
THE KNIoKERBocKER.--The last number OF this
venerable and widely popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and beautiful type in all lis de-
partments and in its rich and diversified contents
continues to vindcate 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 KNIoKERBocKER 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 conducted. No number
OF the X has ever been issued under CLARK's super
vision that did not bear indubtable evidence OF ed
toral 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 strictest sense Of the tcrm'-Nee

'MArHEMATIcIANs tell US of certain curves called

never to intersect. The KNIcKERBocxER, which
has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for a man, and only TO be at
tanned BY more marvellous miracle, has Perpetu-
and excellence; and yet it seems to have ercel-
sor, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How is done our friend CLARK may
undcrstand-but 1t is sealed mystery to US. There

popular libraries, is more consulted ESQ the librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work.
