SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.


nthe department ofEngravngs it is well known
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in t6is or any 9th
er country. The highest ambition of rival pub
fishers seems thus far to have been to mai atain
respectable imitctioh Of the numerous costly and
beautiful works of art with which the successive
numbers of this journal have been graced. In the
course of the succeeding volumes many important
new features will be introduced. Sartin and Sadd
the most celebrated Mezzotint Engravers in the
Union, and equals of tue best in Europe, will con
tinue TO furnish their exquisite productions: and
itawdon, Wright and Hatch, G Parker, A l.
Dick, Gimbredge, JaCkInan, ] ones and others, o
New York, and Dodson, Welch and W aters,
! Tucker and others, of Phadelphia-all among the
most eminent line engravers of the present centu-
I ry, have been engaged to furnish a succession of
highly finished steel engravings, superior TO any
thathave hitherto appaaredin periodicals. Among
the pictnres that will be engraved for for the vol
umes in 1913, are several ORIGINAL PAINTINGS.
by Ingham, Inman, Cole, Thompson, Freeman,
Franquinet, and other distinguished artists. The
! American periodicals have hitherto contained.
save in very few instances, only engravings cop
| led from foreign prints. The publisher of Gra-
hams Magazine will be the first to reform the
practice, and to make his work strictly original


in its embellishments as well as in its literary con-
tents.

/ tuFesCf tie coming volumes lCil be the introduc-
tlon of Portraits of the contributors to Graham's

eral othars-all from paintings executed expressly
| for the purpose.


THE FDIroRIAr. DEPARTMENT will continue


to embrace notes current literature etc, and
! views of all new American and foreign works of
general interest or value, The criticisms of Gra-
.hSn:'s Magazine are acknowledged in all parts o.


the country to be superior in acumen. honesty and
! independence to those of any contemporary. H.
1 deed, while majority of the monthly and quar-


terly journals have become mere advertising mad-


ums for for the booksellers, in which every thing


'in p-ini' is ndscriminately praised. this period


ical is looked upon as just and discriminating ar
hitter between authors and readers, in which both
| have impctconfdence.
