Edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark.
vTyHIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
i England, 'the best magazine in America II
has nearly reached its thirty fourth Uolt'ne, and in
its list of upoard Of hundred contributors are found
the names of every distinguished writer, male and
female, in America, with several equally prominent
of Great Britain, Turkey, Sweden, etc. A new
volume, containing a superb engraving, portrait
of D.e editor engraved by CHENEY, from painting
by ELLIOTT will commence on the hrst day OF July,

THE KNIcKERBocKER.-Thc 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
sNew Yorker our friend CLARK had preceded us
as Editor of the KNIcKERDocKER 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 X. has ever been issued under CLARKs super
vision that did not bear indubitabe evidence Of edi
torial care, and anxious thought and welldirected
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known

sMArHEMArIcIANs tell US of certain curves called
each other, and yet, even when infinitely extended,
never to interscct. The KNIcKERBocKEn, which
has reached an age for Magazine much greater
than hundred years for a man, and only to be at
tanned by a more marvellous miracle, has perpetu-
ally approached the highest possible point OF interest
and excellence; and yet 1t seems TO haze an sEcet
sior, for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend CLARK may

"The Editors Table alone is worth the price Of
the work Itis not periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but il forms library book to
save and re-rcad. A set of the KsIcKERBocKER,
bound up in volumes, the shelves OF one OF our
popular libraries, is more consulted ESQ the librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work.
