GRAHAM AND Cooley, BOTH FOR 81 PER
ANNUM
THE WIDESPREAD CIRCULATION and ac-
i knowedged ability of these popular Maya
zines, render long descriptions and elaborate puff
cry unnecessary. They are known and read in
every corner of our country, and are 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, well as the bu-
rine of the ablest 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 care
ana LAVISH expense OF these two prominent Anne
rican periodicals..
Their initators fail 0l,oays in equalIing 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 ,cel established tcorks are az yet the only
reliable to which they can look for faith
full 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
cheoptess, elegance and merit Of their periodicals.
all that has ever been attempted and as the works
are dssimilar, have resolved to place both within
the reach of all, who desire to keep thoroughly
posted up in the rapidyimproving periodical hie-
nature of the age.
The best and freshest, both in Literature and
Art, will be found in their ample and greatly mul
tpled pages, and they challenge the world to ex-
eel or equal the forthcoming volumes either in the
beauty and cost of their adornments, the merit and
amplitude of literary matter, in the cheapness
and accommodating terms with which they are pre-
scented to the American public.
