Besides upwards of Seven Hundred other Embellish-
ments, directly illustrative of the Text, and the whole exe-
cuted in the very bed B.yle of Art. The Volume is ele-
gantly bound in Silk, with Gilt Leaves. The f►cingys pre-
sent the hitherto unattempted novelty of a striking imita-
tion of the most beautiful Mechlin Lace, which has been
pronounced by the Critics of the Periodical Press, to be so
perfect as to entirely deceive the eye, and only to be de-
tected by the touch. An ornamental Title-page, emble-
matical of the Contents of the Volume, beautifully exe-
cuted in burnished Gold, is also among its decorative
novelties.

Few works have been received with such unanimous
and unqualified approbation by the Public Press. The
following is an abridged selection from a few of the many
favourable notices with which it l a been honoured :—.

" We shall find it difficult to Bp4k of this Volume in
terms sufficiently expressive of the admiration, and, indeed,
wonder, with which an examination of it has filled us, It
is not only a curiosity, but a beautiful curiosity, and no
less excellent in its useful qualities, than it is eh-gmt in its
decorative parts. A few years ago, all the talents in Eng-
land could not have produced such a work."—Literary
Gazette, Oct. 31, 1829.

" 6 The Young Lady's Book,' from the Pple nil u r of its
appearance, the excellent style and execution of its embel-
lishments, its intrinsic value, and its peculiar suitableness,
is the must acceptable offering that can be made at the
shrine of youth and beauty ; and, altogether, is one of the
most elegant volumes of its kind."—la Belle Assemblve
for Dec. 1829.

" The Young Lady's Book' surpasses all the Annuals
in its external splendour, and is far superior to them in the
character of its object. At the same time that it is itself
a medium of general instruction in Science, it is an actual
wonder of art."—Spectator, Nov. 8, 1829.
" This is not an Annual, but an evergreen; a gem in
its way; containing a clear and neatly written epitome
of all those amusements which are appropriate to Young
Ladies, and mixing its instructions with such a pleasant
versatility of attractive matter, that we have no hesitation
in recommending it to the boudoir and the drawing•room."
—Atlas, Nov. 8, 1829.

" In a word, whether we look on the Young Lady's
Book as it resp,cts Art, Science, or Recreation, it stands
unique from every other Publication, and, aR such, must
be received throughout the Literary world."—News,
Nov. 8, 1829.

" The Young Lady's Book will enjoy a more perma-
nent popularity than any of its competitors during the
present Gift-giving season."—Court Jonc., Nov. 21. 18t9.
" The Young Lady's Book is a present far more useful
and instructive than any thing we have seen since the
new fashion of yearly publications has obtained. This
Book contains a sm t of Encyclopedia of Female Arts and
Accomplishments ; indeed, a collection of every thing with
n hich the most delicate and refined of our Young Ladies
should be acquainted."—John Bull, Nov. 29, 1829.
" Whether we view it in the light of a moralist, an in-
structor, or as a gay and smiling companion, entering into
all the elegant accomplishments which add a grace to
virtue, we still find it unexceptionable, both in matter and
manner, altogether one of the most acceptable presents
that could be offered to a young Lady."--Morning Post,
Nov. 17, 1829.
