THE number for January, 1854, begins the
Il Forty Second Volume OF the knickerbock-
er Magazine.
Since the price OF subscription has been re-
duced from five to three dollars a year, the

creasing. II is now offered az cheap as any
of the Magazines, all things considered. In
stead Of making new and prodigious promises,
we submit a few extracts from notices of late
numbers, which we might extend TO a number
of pages.

passes merrily on."-Democrat, Doylestown
