The La>iy's Book has been published by the same
proprietor Cor nearly eleven years. and during mat
time he can safely say that article has been ad-
mitted nlo lie columns that parents might not with
safety read TO their children. 1t has been his con-
slant care 10 prevent The work from being sectaran
DO litical or disputaiious. He has watched It's pro-
gress from its first appearance in the world OF letters
TO its now almost mature age. How many vain Ell
forts have been msde during the period OF ITS exS-
tence to establish rivalry-how many are SUI
making. but 10 vain The Book may almost be con-
sdered the creation of taste for periodical tera-

gives us the opportunity of embarking IN this
expensive specuation--we may fail in being remu-
nerated for our outlay, but subscribers will be
benefited.
We give twice as many embellishments as any
other Magazine. and each plate is, because we pay
more for its engraving, superior to the one OF any
contemporary, and yet the price of the magazine is
not increased. Our ed ton is immense, double any
other publication therefore are enabled to go to
a greater expense than any other publisher. A
better may therefore he expected for the price
paid for subscriptions.
The vote ofthe public press has pronounced God
ey's Lady'a Book at the head of the periodical Lit
efaure Of the country. and he ia determined that il
shall retaia its proud superiority With this view he
has chosen ror its conductors of the most emf
nent female writers Of this or any other county
Mrs Hale and Mrs. Sigourney, assisted monthly by
one of no less ability, Miss Leslie.
