THE LADY,s RooK.

TIHE sixth number, which completes the
IL first volume Of the Ladys Book, Is now
before the public. Tile proprihtors. impressed
with the, many obligations which ara due 90
their patrons Tor the liberal encouragement
bestowed on the work. feel themselves inslu-
ced to avOw their determination TO prosecute
its publication with zeal and fidelity deserv-
ing SO greAt and nnexampled success. From
the prospect before them, they enfeftainnO
doubt that when their plans have been more
fully matHrrd, they shall have no difficulty to
compete with the best works at the Kind got
up in London or elsewhere. II IL worthy Of
remark, that when this work was comparative
" 10 embryo, six months only having elapsed
since it commenced, SO generally was the app
Pearance and style approved. that IN a very
short time an edition Of 1000 copies was cali
ed for, and at this moment not one remains
ON hand. For new work, patronage Of
such rapid increase Is certainly rare, and pro-
badly unprecedented.
The JcnMary No. new vol,tme.
The publishers being impressed with the
opinion that their selection Of objects to beau
tlfy the former numbers Of the Lady's Book
has been generally received with appreciation,
are justified in believing that their intentions
for the future, in regard to this important part
| OF the work, are thus SO fully explained as not
earnest Of their intentions, they have in the
nun'her for January given two splendid figures
Of Philadelphia Fashions the one Walking
and the other an Evening Dress, engraved by
one Of the first artists in this city, and bpauti-
fully cofored. Ladies at distance will, in
few days after publication; be Supplied with
the latest fashions adopted 10 this city, and
with sufficient explanations attached thereto,
to enable them to follow implicitly the reign
ing Philadelphia mode. The fashions, rle-
gantly engraved and colored. are continued
qnarterIy-which may be- considered sulti-
GENTLY often for the fair Of this country, who
are not understood to make dress the primary
object Of life.

hers. on the first Of every month, comprising
SO large octave pages; printed ON fine super
