In announcing his readiness to receive orders for

any very brilliant ideas hold out in largo capitals
TO dazzle peoples eyes" Graham will he pretty
much what il has been this volume with some i'm
provemenis which experience suggests No number
will contain less than 100 pages of matter; and the
| readers Of Graham mDy rely with great confidence
upon MiS-that the two volumes for tho year shall

OVER TWELVE HUNDRED PAGES
Of the very best reading matter that capital can com
mand from original sources, taste select from tho
vast mass of available material
The aim OF the editor will be TO produce publica-
ton which shall be valuable in matter and choice in

mon wood cuts are so easily multiplied that tho most
indifferent publication may 0utrank, in drcary dis
play, the choicest periodical.
The editor does not feel that, with his own readers
he can increase bis claim to respect by insisting
any very great superiority Of Graham over several
similar publications, but thinks he may safely nfde

management for its present list and such increase as
naturally grows out OF an extended circulation In
