GRAHAM'S MAGAZINE.
New Volume.

New Volume.
THE year is drawing to close. But two
L numbers are yet to be issued of the vol
ume of "GRAHAM' for 1858, when 1854
will be upon us. The Magazine year is
necessarily anticipated. and is not reckon
ed by the ordinary rules. The January
number must be manuf ,ctured inNoyeml er,
and complete copies a. sample numbers for
agents should be ready by the first of De-
cember, for with the rs, of that month all
contracts for the year are filed, the reneto-
al fciu6s and single subscribers commence.
In announcing his readiness toreceive or
ders for the new volume, the editor does not
know that he has any very brilliant ideas
to hold out in large capitals to dazzle reo-
ple's eyes" Graham" will be pretty much
what it has been this volume, with some i'm
provements which experience suggests. No
number will contain less than 100 pages OF
reading matter, aud the readers of "GRA-
HAM" may rely with great confidence upon
this-that the volume shall contain
OYER TWELVE HUNDRED
P4GES
of the very best reading matter that capital
can command from original sources, or taste
select from the vast mass of available ma
terial.
The aim Of the editor will be to produce
publication which shall be valuablein in mat
ter, and choice in taste and style; and he
fatters himself, from the known talents of
his contributors, that he will be able to pre-
sent as many good original articles to his
readers as any publication of the day He
shall not, however, hesitate to publish, from
time to time, articles from English authors,
and translations from the best German and
French writers, provided the pieces have
never before appeared in print in this coun-
try. Essays on important political subjects
will likewise be inserted, and criticisms on
the literature of America and the move
ments of the age. The review department,
in which large and liberal spirit Of criti-
cism will always be mainted will be extend
ed. For the defence of American literature
the editor will always be ready; for the
maintenance Of correct tone in the maya
zine, he will, if possible, be still more
watchful.
Each number will contain an
Engraving from a SPlendid
Steel Plate,
In addition to the choice designs and en-
=
illustrations for the text in the body of the
book The aim of the editor will not be so
much to increase the number Of his engrav-
ings, as to secure for those he publishes the
utmost finish which the artist can give
them for common wood cuts are so easily
multiplied, that the most Indifferent publi
cation may outrank in dreary display the
choicest periodical
The editor does not feel, that with his
own readers, he can increse his claims to
their respect by insisting on any very great
superiority of" Graham" over several SIM
liar publications, but thinks he may safely
confde in their friendship for the magazine,
and in its past management for its present
list, and such increase rs naturally grows
out Of an extended circulation in II country
where readers are multiplying so rapidly.
OF the January number the FIRST EDI-
TON will be 10000 copies, and the editor
trusts his old friends will be so prompt in
reeiring old clubs, and extending the list
among neD ones, that the first edition shall
be but half of what the year will ultimately
establish as the permanent circulation of
" GRAHAM"
