upon entirely new and beautiful type, in all is de-
partments; and in its rich and diversified contents
continues TO vindcate its reputation 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 KNIcKEaBocxER about twelve
month: it has now 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 has ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubitable evidence of edi
torial care, and anxious thought, and well directed
labor enstamped upon its pages We have known
no monthly, Of this countryor Europe, 30 thorough

than hundred years for man, and only TO be at

and excellence; and yet it seems to have ercel-
