AMERICAN AND ORIGINAL.
THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE


EDITED BY LOUIS GAYLORD CLARK.
TIME number for January, 1856, begins the
l. 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
circulation of the K-NIcKERBocKER has been
increased nearly four to one. In many places
ten are taken where there was but one before,
and through the year it has been steadily in
creasing. 1t is now offered as 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.
"ThOse familiar with the Editors Monthly
Gossip with his Readers have doubtless,
with ourselves, admired the parental source
OF its wit and ioyousness. In this number
The Gossip holds on its way like some fair
rivulet glancing and dancing in the sunshine of
a May morning. We used to wonder how
Mr.. Clark could hold out, expecting he must
certainly 'let down in the coming number /;
but this number gives no sign of exhaustion"
Il National lntelligencer, Washington.
pheasant, genial, delightful old Knick ~
Ihy name is a suggestion of things delectable;
the sight of thy modest, fresh cover, a balm
to spiritual sore eyes; a glance within thee,
best antidote for the blues. Thou hast given
to kindly humor, to piquant delineation, and
to side-splitting fun, a focal habitation,'
without which they might go wandering over
the domain of letters, calling now and then
where a friendly door opened to them but re-
fuslng to be comforted for the loss Of their
old dear me."-Courier, Burlington, Vt.
1.-The great care evinced in the selection of
articles that adorn its pages, is a sufficient
guaranty that no contribution meets the eve of
the reader but those which are known to be
worthy of his perusal. When storms and
wild tempests are sweeping DER our hillside
village in these chill winter hours, and is
drear and desolate without, we ask for no
more agreeable companion than the 'KNIcK-
ERBocKER'; for while its contents impart
valuable information, its sallies of genuine
wit are a sovereign specific for all fits of the
blues or attacks Of the horrors, and time
passes merrily on."-Democrat, Doylestown,
Penn.
1.-The KNICKERBocKER has been and will be
a fact of its own a genuine living thing, all
the more desirable now that the new crop of
magazines, filled with articles pirated from
English authors, makes fresh home creations
more conspicuous and welcome. 81 New
York Christian Inquirer.

The best talent in the country will be en-
listed, and no expense or effort spared, to,
make the KNIcKERBocKRR more than ever de-
serving of the first position amaag our ORR
ginal American Magazines.
