GODEY'S BOOK,

tributions OF the most celebrated Female writers
Of America, most OF whom of any emincnce

is 100 long, except for Il seperate advertisement.
But let This be remembered, tina, never in any
instance will mention the name of contributor
from whom we have not the remolest idea OF
| procuring Il contribution. There are enough
writes in our country, and cool ones too, who
"a they are paid will furnish matter sufficient for
Nal our periodicals.
"A TWENTY ONE VOLUMES have already |
Issued. 1t is usual so announce that small del. |
ton only will be published. Contrary TO This |
the Proprietor OF the Lady's Book announces that
he will publish an immense edition, with whnich |
he hopse to supply all those who will favour him
with orders, commencing with the January num-
Der.
1t will be eenby this advertisement, that every
effort has been made BY the proprietor of this
work To make 1t superior to any Other in Ameri-
ca and as
A NEW YEARS. GIFT,
