continues to yindicate it's 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 KNIcKERBocKER about twelve
month: it 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 ndubiable evidence of edi
toral care and anxious thought, and well directed
| labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known

and excellence; and yet it to have an ercel-

went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may
