T,HE WIDESPREAD CIRCULATION and ac-
i knowledged ability Of these popular Maya
zines, render long descriptions and elaborate puff
cry unn necessary. They are known and read in
every corner of our country, and are as household
words in the mouths of those who pretend to judg-
ment IN Literature or taste in Art. The pens OF
our most accomplished writers, as we'll as the bu-
rims of the abest artists, enlisted to enrich and
adorn their pages-and all that is now famous in
letters or beautiful in engravings, in the world of
periodical literature, is owing to the fostering
and lavish expense of these two prominent Anne
TiCan periodicals.
Their imitators fail a,oays in equalling them, for
want of public support, and the poor dupes who
are led to subscribe to the hastily born enterprises
which spring up every year to delude the public,
with promises of wind and words of sound, find
that these tce established ,oorks are as yet the only
reliable sources to which they look for faith
fai performance OF all contracts entered into with
subscribers.
The publishers of Cooley and of Graham have
determined that for 1853 they will surpass in the
cheapess, elegance and merit of their periodicals,
all that has ever been attempted, and the works
are dssimilar, have resolved to place both within
the reach of all, who desire to keep thoroughly
posted up in the rapidly-improving periodical lite
nature Of the age.
The best and freshest, both in Literature and
Art will be found in their ample and greatly null.
tiplied pages, and they challengethe world to ex-
eel equal the forthcoming volumes either in the
beauty and cost of their adornments, the merit and
amplitude of literary matter, or in the cheapness
