tain the excellent character il has already
acquired, but it is confidently expected
that it will be rendered more eminentfS
worthy Of the support Of those 10 whose in
~terests and amusement it 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-
ceived from her personal friends, and 9TH

ever can be accomplished by enterprise
and cost he is resolved TO effect. Besides

tors, he has expectations Of receiving orig
inal articles from several distinguished f.
male writer's in Europe. and as an induce
ment to writers of our country, he 10
willing 10 pay for every article adopted by
him as suitable TO his publication, as high
a rate Of remuneration as will be given by
the proprietors of any other periodical in
the United States.

Book will likewise be improved. The ~
biography will be more elegant, and the
paper Of a better quality. During the year

lnent ladies will be given : and every Sec
ond month a coloured plate, illustrating
The prevailing fashion, will be furnished.

nance the appearance and increase the
value Of the work, will be introduced and
generally. every thing will be done that
the most untiring purpose of making the
Lady's Book pre- eminently entitled to pat
ronage can suggest. With The experience

years devoted to the business, and the aid
TO be derived from the distinguished lady
who will henceforth be associated with

be able TO render the amplest satisfaction

fore, with a just reliance on his claims to
