It is compiled -with a view of making at once an Illustrated and Literary Magazine of tho highest grade, and A BRIGHT, SMART SOCIETY PAPER FOR SMART PEOPLE " A RETROSPECTIVE GLANCE AT ±1. FUTURITY." Solf-praiso is said to bo no recommendation, and readers of tho "Graphic " aredotibtless too well aware of the vast improvements already ! accomplished and weekly being made in every I dopurtnientof this paper to need reminding of thorn. Norortheloss, when at the commencement of another volume it is resolved to make yet another and higher bid for public favour, tho editor, in the name of tho proprietors, may review what has been done and briefly otato future intentions. Since its commencement it has been the aim of tho proprietary to make Uio "Graphic" TnK FINEST ILLUSTRATED I'APKR SOUTH OF THE LINK — a paper whicli should combine tlio advantages of a weekly illustrated magazine of tho best procurable literature, and a high-class Bocioty newspaper for tho colony. No pains, uo labour, and no expanse haro been spared in tlio furtherance of theue objects. Nor have tho efforts put forth failed to meet with duo recognition. From all sides we have rocoived praises and congratulations, we have hoen honoured with I tlio notice of several of tho leading Komo 1 papers, and our pictures and cartoons have j been deemed worthy of reproduction in tho '• Hoview of Reviews." Boat Of all our circula- ! tioii is steadily increasing, showing that the i paper is firmly establishing itself as the premier ; weekly journal of this colony. j In the early days of the paper's oxistenco it j wjis stated that ono of the objects of the I "Graphic" would ho to foster native genius I and encourage local literature. This lias been | clone. Yoar by yenr prize competitions hnve been j inaugurated tooffura special stimulus to local ! lictionists, and our pages always have been end always are open tocontributors. Hut while desiri inn to develop a New Zealand school of authors, !we liavo borne in mind that the high literary ! standard of a magazine of the first water must :he maintained. Under These circumstances. ! and in so young a community, it is not wonderful 1 that comparatively few authors have been ablo to stand in company with tho best story writers from Kuropo and America, with whom they ! woro in competition. I Everything, however, comes in time, ana tho ! Editor and Proprietor have great pleasure in announcing that limy have secured a New Zealand Novel by a New Zealand Authoress, I for immediate publication in the j "NEW ZEALAND GRAPHIC." j ! The story i» sensational and powerful, and ; deals with tho mighty human passions ol! : "Lovo, Hato, and Hovcdbo." Revenge is, j indeed, as the title of the story, —«r "D T U" tss(Revenge or Payment) denotes, tho ruling motive of tho tale. Vengeance more weird, more complete, and yet inoro strange, has never formed tho themo of romance. The story begins in Kngland, but the plot is devoloped and workod out in New Zealand, not tho modern Now Zealand, but tho : aolouy in the savago old days. It is essentially a story to "make your flesh creep," as tho fat j i boy in "Pickwick" said. Tho plot is mys- ! tenons, wildly exciting, and the situations.- j | always exceedingly powerful, are oftentimes ' thrilling. The opinion of an omnivorous devourer of novels to whom the work wna BUbmittod is :—"Tho story is the most exciting I havo rend for many a long day. It will make a great hit and a big sensation in tho Old Country. The plot is magnilicent. and exceedingly well worked out. Tho Maori pictures and incidents are beyond comparison with anything previously done here. I thrilled and shuddered as I novor could have believed a j novel would make mo thrill nowadays." i So says a gentlemen who rends almost every . ! novel that appears, and his judgment will bo : fully endorsed by those wbo read " UTU " in : the " Gkapihc." Conscious of the importance ■of the work and its tungni/lcont opportunities for illustration, tho proprietor baa arranged ; with Mb Kenneth Watkins, President of the Auckland Academy of Arts, to illustrato : " UTU." i Tho name of this artist ia well-known throughout New Zealand as a magnificent delineator oE Maori life and character. In his hands the pictures will immensely enhance tho : interest oC the letterpress. Riircly has an artist been so favoured by an author. There aro in this story hundreds of subjects to call ; forth all the artistic pov/ora anrt imagination ! with which Mr Kenneth W&tldns is so ] Bonei'ously endowed. I The story is now in the illustrator's hands, and will appear in the " Graphic " at. an early date. i Wo make this announcement thii3 early j because the " Graphic: " is almost invariably ; soil out within v few days—hour 3, indeed, oE | is3ue. Requests aro constantly pouring in for I back numbers—requests with which- we are iwifortunately quite unable to comply. Those ; who want to read this story without any chance iof euch check should forward their subscrip- ; tions at once to the Manager of the " Graphic." ; Subscribers get the paper inoro cheaply, nnd do not run the risk of being lert Graimiiclcih when thorn is somo special attraction.
