10 dilate upon the superiority of this Magazine
is superfuous Its fame is already spread through
out the whole country, and the intention of the
publishers is to keep it in the proud position it has
acquired. as the leading Periodical in .4nerica.
The best and most popular American authors are
regular contributors to its pages-tfe most superior
artists are constantly employed in producing the
brightest efforts of skill for its embelshment-and
no expense is spared in any of the various depart
ments connected with its publication, to renderit
in every respect worthy of the distinguished favor
which has been bestowed upon it.
In entering upon new volume, the publishers
feel that the public requires from them stronger
guarantee for the future excellence of their Maya
zine, than their past prompt and faithful ful6llment
of all their promises. Every pledge made has been
entirely redeemed, and the assurance now given
that their future efforts will produce results exce
ing those which have gone before, will be carefully
carried out.
variety of new attractions are in course of pre-
paration but when imitators vigilantly watch
ing every movement to catch ideas they are in
capable of originating, it is matter of duty that we
should keep our plans for the future to ourselves,
until the time arrives for putting our patrons IN
possession of them Suffice it to say, that the lite
rary standard of Graham's Magazine shall be fully
maintained its pictorial beauties increased in de-
gree which cannot fail to be astonishing to those
who have hitherto acknowledged its vast superiority
this score; whilst new features 10 be intro
duced which cannot fail to command unusual ap-
prevail and admiration
Our distinguished artist, w. E. Tucker, Esq, has
been sent by us TO Europe to secure, with the aid
Of American artists abroad, succession of most
splendid illustrations, and TINS, with the aid of our
home force, we shall present every novelty as it
arises fresh to our readers.
Colored Plates, of great beauty. will be furnished
to our readers hereafter, in addition tc the usual
steel and mezzotnt engravings, which we monthly

of rare beauty, are now in the hands of our artists
| This is a feature which has been introduced
by any publisher, and which will surpass in point
of excellence and beauty, any thing that has yet
appeared in any publication OF similar character
in his country.
| We also purpose commencing the publication OF
series of'.4,fhurs illustrated Nourettetes, written
expressly for this Magazine by 1. S. Arthur, Esq,
whose character author is SO tavorably known
throughout the whole country.
ISIt is favorite plan with some contempora-
neous magazines to boast of their size, and the num-
Der of extra pages they contain. Now. good wine
needs no bush'' and our patrons will testify that
we first in quality, so are we second to mono
in the quantity of ntellec ual fruit which present
monthly. ANY printer may, by an easy calculation,
demonstrate very clearly that we furnish much
larger quantity of reading matter than other maya
zines which boast more than we do-to say nothing
of the rich and exquisite eDgravings which adorn
our pages. This fact which, not to be disputed,
and it is only wonderful to that with know
ledge of it, modest contemporaries are not lit
tie more qualified in their beastings.
