THE WIDESPREAD CIRCULATION and ac-
l. knowledged ability of these popular Maya
zines, render long descriptions and elaborate puff
cry unnecessary. They 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, we'll as the bu
rims of the ablest artists. enlisted 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 care
and lavish expense of these two prominent Anne
Tican periodicals.
Their imitators foil a.oays in equaIing 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 ,Dorks are as yet the only
reliable sources to which they look for faith
ful 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
eheapness, elegance and merit of their periodicals
all that has ever been attempted, and as the works
are dssimlar, have resolved to place both within
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 muI
tipied pages, and they challenge the world to ex-
Gel or equal the forthcoming Volumes either in the
beauty and cost of their adornments the merit and
amplitude of literary matter, or in the cheapness
and accommodating terms with which they are pre-
scented to the American public.

all its mechanical and business aspects shall be
such az will meet the views of our most distin-

seek for in communicating with the world, and
such as may tempt some to write ably and profita
