lows a high reputation as one oil the most
graceful, vigorous, and accomplished Of

Hale. the Lady's Book will not only main
tain the excellent character il has already
acquired, but il is confidently expected
that il will be rendered more eminently
worthy of the support of those to whose in
~terests and amusement II has been; and
will continue to be, especially devoted.
The superior talents and fine taste Of the
Editor will give the work a new impulse;
while her own contributions, and those re-
ceiyed from her personal friends, and 9TH
or correspondents, of whom a number
have already promised. will render It al.
most entirely original Amongst Others

Book may be mentioned, Mas. SARAH j.
