| SPLENDID EMBELLISHMENTS.
A In the department ofEngravings tits we'll known
| that Graham's Magazine has Tar surpassed any
periodical work ever published in this or anv 9th
! er country. The hghe5: ambition of rival pub
fishers seems thus far TO have been to mai tain
| 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 features will be introduced, Satsin and Sadl
the most celebrated Mezzotint Engravers in the
| Union and eq1als of the bsst IN Europe, willcor-
tinue 10 furnish their exquisite productions: and
| Rawdon, Wright and Hatch. q Parker, A l.
| Dick, Gimbrc,lge, Jacknan, Jones and oshers, o
! New York, and Dodson, Ws.ch and " ata7s,
Tucker and others, of Philadelphia-all among the
most eminent line engravers OF the present centI-
ry, have beea s%gpged TO furnish suceessio~ of
| highly finished steel engravings, superior 10 any
thathave hitherto appearedin in periodicals. Among
the pictures that will be engraved TO- fer che vol
| unes 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-
| ham's Magazine will be the first to reform the
practice, and TO make his work strictly original
in its embellishments we'll as in its literary
| tents.


/ Our PORTRAIT GALLERY.-One of the new fea-
lures of the coming volumes riil be the introduc-
tion of Portraits of the contributors to Graham's
! Magazine, which of course, will include nearly

son and others, portraits engraved in the highest
style of the art of Mr. Cooper. Professor Lonsfel-

Sedgwick, Mrs Seba Smith, Mrs Embury and sew
eral others-all from paintings executed expressly
fer the purpose.


The EDITORIAL DEPARTMENT will continue
to embrace notes literature etc, and re-
views of all new American and foreign works cf
general interest or value. The criticisms of Gra-
HAMS Magazine are acknowledged in all parts
the country TO be superior in acumen, honesty and
independence to those of any contemporary. In
deed, while majority of the monthly and quar-
terry journals have become mere advertising med-
ums for for the booksellers, in which every thing
Sin print is indiscrimnaely praised this period
ical is looked upon just and discriminating ar
bitter between authors and readers, in which both
have implicit confidence.
