When we first started the old 'New Yorker,' our friend Clark had preceded us as Editor of the Knickerbocker about a twelvemonth: it has now reached an age greatly beyond that of any American Monthly; & fact which literally 'speaks volumes' in praise of the manner in which the work has been conducted. No number of the K. has ever been issued under Clark's supervision that did not bear indubitable evidence of editorial care, and anxious thought, and well-directed labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known no monthly, of this country or Europe, so thoroughly edited, in the strictest sense of tne term.'?New York Daily Tribune. 'Mathematicians tell us of certain curves called aeymptotei, whose peculiarity is always to approach each other, and yet, even when infinitely extended, never to intersect. The Knickbrbookke, which has reached an age for a Magazine much greater than a hundred years for a man, and only to be attained by a more marvellous miracle, has perpetually approached the highest possible point of interest and excellence; and yet it seems to have an exeelsior, for each number seems better than that which went before. How it is done our friend Clark may understand?but it is a sealed mystery to us. There is no publication in the United States that has so attractive or popular a feature as the Editor'* table ol the Knickerbocker.'?New York Courier and Enquirer.

'The Knickerbocker is one of the must valuable uiagi_sines of the day, and outstrips all competition in the higher walks of literature.'?Albany Argue. "The Editor's Table alone is worth tne price ol the work. It is not a periodical to be lightly glanced over and thrown by, but it forms a library nook tc save and re-read.
