SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.


In the department ofEngravings it is wellknown
that Graham's Magazine has far surpassed any
periodical work ever published in ,his ~ any 9th
er country. The highest ambition of rival pub
fishers seems thus far to have been to lI.aiAtan
Respectable imitation 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 featureswill be introduced. Sartin ard Sadd
the most celebrated Mezzotnt Engravers in the
Union, and equals of the best in Europe, will CON
tinue TO furnish their exqnisite productions: and
Rawdon, Wright ard Hatch, G Parker, A l.
Dick, Gimbredge, JaCkman, Jones and others,
New York, and Dodson, Welch and Waters,
Tucker and others, of Philadelphia among the
most eminent line engravers of the present centu-
ry, have been engaged to furnish succession of
highly finished steel engravings, superior 10 any
thathave hitherto appeared in periodicals. Among
the pictures that will be engraved for for the vol
umes in lS43, 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 asin its literary con-
/ tents.

tures of the coming volumes Cill be the introduce

) The EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT will continue


to embrace notes literature etc, and re-
/ views of all new American and foreign works of
! general interest or value. The criticisms of Gra-
4 hams Magazine are acknowledged in ali parts o :
| the country to be superior in acumen, honesty and
/ Independence to those of any contemporary. In


deed, while a majority of the monthly and quar-
/ terly journals have become mere advertising mad-


ums for for the booksellers, in which every thing


in prni' is Unfortunately praised, this period
1 ica is looked upon as just and discriminating ar
! bitter between authors and readers, in which both


have implicit confidence.
