Our means gives us the opportunity OF en-
barking in this expensive spccuIatlOn-we
may fail in Icing remunera.ed for our outlay,
but our subscribers will be benefited.
We give twice rs many emil elishments as
anv other Magazine, and each plate is, be-
cause we pay more for IFS engravings, supe
rror to the one Of any contemporary, and
vet the price Of the Magazine is not increas-
ed. Our edition is immence, double any
other publication, therefore we are enabled
TO 90 to q greater expense than any other
publisher. A better return may therefore
be expected for the price paid for subscrlP-
tons.
The voice Of the public press has pro-
nounced Godev's Lady's Book al the head
of the periodical Literature of the country.
and he is determined that it shall retain lis
proud superiority. With this view he has
chosen for its conductors two OF the most
eminent female writers OF this or any other
country-Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Sigourney.
assisted monthly by one of no less ability
Miss Leslie.
In speaking Of our engraving. we beg leave
TO call attentions TO the following published
in last volume, viz:
View of Constantinople,
Schuvlkill Water Works.
The Indian Maid.
The Pilgrim.
Happy as 4 king.
The Death of Lauth.
With each of these was published a Fash
ion plate, containing either three or four fig-
ures beautifully and tastefully coloured.
Universally pronounced superior TO any
other Magazine illustrations in this or any
other country. Beautiful as they undOubt-
eddy are, we pronounce, without hesitation,
that those for this year shall be SUPERIOR
The engravings shall always be worth more
than the price of subscription. We do not,
as many of our contemporaries do, who
would scorn to tell a verbal falsehood, pass
off second hand plates us original. Ours are
undoubtedly So, and the designs selected by
ourselves, and they will be continued through
out the year..
