of our lady subscribers, we shall the ensuing vol.
ume furnish them with a beautiful and correct

eved, that will neither be unwelccmed nor un-
popular. These fashion plates shall be drawn
from original designs from Paris and Londcn.apd
may always be depended upon as the pre,AIipR
style in Philadelphia and New York for tho
month in which they are issued. These, howsv-
er shall in no wise interfere with the regular and
choice engravings, and music which accompany
each number Of the work, The splendid Mez-
zotinl engravings from the burin of Santaiu.
which have been so justly admired, will bs fol-
lowed during the volume by several from the came
