THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewie Gaylord Clerk.
THIS is pronounced, by the preen of America and
England, 'the beet magazine in America.' It
ban nearly reached it* thirty-fourth volume, and in
iU lint of upward of a hundred contribution are found
the names of every distinguished writer, male and
female, in America, with several equally prominent
of Great Britain, Turkey, Sweden, etc. A new
volume, containing a superb engraving, a portrait
(f the editor engraved by Cheney, from a painting
by Elliott, wul commence on the first day of July,
1849. The following notices of the Knickebbockeb
are from the American and English press, and from
American and Britilth writers of distinction.
'The Knickebboc keb.?The last number ot this
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and beautiful type, in all its delutrtmenLit:
anil in iu rich and diversified contents.
continue* to vindicate it* reputation a* the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
the United .States. 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.
'We regard it as the very best work of its kind ii
the Union.'?St. Alban'* ( Va.) Journal.
'Its contents are as invariably good as its appear
auce is punctual.'?William Cullen Bryant, i?
tilt Neve York Evening Pott.
'Its article# are worthy of Blackwood's palmiea
days. The Editor's Table is in Mr. Cla bk's hap
piest vein; varied and racy in a remarkable degree.
?JVae York Commercial Advertiser.
'The Knickerbocker seems to increase in attrac
lion as it advances in age. It exhibits a inonthlj
variety of contributions unsurpassed in number 01
ability.'?National Intelligencer.
'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. A set of the Knickerbocker,
bound up in volumes, on the shelves uf one of oui
popular libraries, is more consulted (so the librarian
nas often told us)*tiian any other similar work.'?
Boston J Jail y IVanscriptPresident
Everett, qf Harford College, lot*
Minister to England.?'I peruse the Knickerbocker
with high gratification. It seems to me to be of an
order of merit quite above the average of the periodicals
of this class, English or American.'
Hon. J. K. Pacldino, lute Secretary of the Navy.?
'The manner in which the Knickerbocker is conducted,
and the great meritof its contributors, plac<
it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Paor. Longfellow, Cambridge University.?'Tin
Knickerbocker atands high in thia quarter. Iti
superior to most of the English magazines, and wcl
deserves its large list of subscribers."
Hon. Robert M. Charlton, Georgia.?'Th
Knickerbocker is a work which requires no pufl
ing; and I shall always feel that I am conferring i
favor on those to whom I recommend it.'
The London Examinee.?'This very clever Ma
gazine is the pleasanteat periodical in the Unite<
States. Its articles, which are numerous and short
various and interesting,are well worthy of imitatior
by our Magazines on this side of the Atlantic.'
London Morning Chronicle.?'Judging froir

and talent which the Knickerbocker displays are
highly creditable to American writer*, ana very

'We have read several numbers of this talented periodical,
and rejoiced in them. They would dc

to which humanity has yet arrived.'

Sir Edward Hclwkh Lytton.?'The Knickerbocker

which was penned expressly for your work.'
Charles Dickens, esq.?'I read the Knickerbocker
with very great pleasure: it is indeed a

Rev. Dr. Dick Scotland.?'I have read a good
