Martinsburg gazette. [volume] (Martinsburg, Va. [W. Va.]) 1833-1855, 1839-11-07

More than GO Figures Of Fashions each year.
Great addition to the Editorial Department.
AH RS. LYDIA II. SIGOURNEY, whose name
WI is SO intimately connected with the Litera-
ture of our country, and who has justly been termed
by the contemporary press 1.-The Hemans of Ame-
rica," will assist Mrs. Hale in the editorial depart
ment. II is with feelings of the greatest pleasure
that the publisher ofthe Book makes this announce
ment. The editorial corps will now consist of Mrs.
SARAH }. HALE, Mrs. LYDIA SIGoURNEY, and
Louis A. Cooley. Mrs. Sigourney will commence
her valuable aid with the January Number. The
Lady's Book has always been noted for the purity
of its contents that marked distinction which
characterizes it shall still be preserved; indeed,
with such conductors il vii! be impossi5ic TO go
astray.
Twenty Volumes have already been issued. 1t
is usual to announce that a small edition only will
be published Contrary to this. the Proprietor of
the Lady's Book announces that he will publish an
immense edition, with which he hopes to supply all
those who will favor him with orders, commencing
with the January No.
1t will be seen by this advertisement tina, every
effort has been made by the Proprietor Of this work
to make it superior to any other in America, and
as a "New Years Gift" the Lady's Book is
probably the most proper that could be desired for
Ladies, edited by their own sex, and assisted as
the editorial department is by the pictorial embel-
%lishments, it is positively the Boudoir companion.
There are other publications that advertise Fash
ion Plates. The Publisher of the Lady's Book
wishes it to be distinctly understood that the prin-
pal Fashions in his work are coiored. Uncolored
Plates OF Fashions, also monthly. This is a novel
feature in the work, and as it is no great expense
to give Plates of Fashions without coioring, the
Publisher will give from three to six figures each
month, in addition to the three colored.-This will
make in all, generally, about Nine Figures of
Fashions monthly. LACE PATTERNs, and Par
TERMS OF EMBROIDERY, will be published at regu-
lar ntervals.-These beautiful ornaments (~particu-
larry the former) have given great satisfaction.
The MUSICAL DEPARTMENT is under the super.
intendence of j. G.. Osborne, than whom no per-
son is more capable of doing it Justice.
The LITERARY DEPARTMENT is placed under
the superintendence of Mrs. Sarah j. Hale and
Mrs. Lydia II. Sigourney, two Ladies SO well
known to the world that to mention their names in
connection with any publication is at once a guar
antee of its morality, virtue, and utility. Of their
capability TO conduct the Lady's Book, it is presu-
med no person will doubt, and the Proprietor men
tons with pleasure that no English or American
Magazine can publish in connection with its Litera-
ny department two names SO celebrated in the
world of letters.
