parkikg in this expensive spcculaton-wc may
lall IN being renumerated lor our outlay, but our
subscribers will be benefited.
We give twice as many embellishments as any
ptEoF 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 Nigga

enabled TO greater expense than auy other
publisher. A better return may Therefore be ex-
pected for the price paid for subscriptions.
The voice of The puIic press has pronounced
bodey's Lady's Book at the head of pero 'ical
1.teraturc of the country, and he is determined
pnnt it shall retain its prond suTeiorty. With
this view Le has chosen for its conductors two Of
the most eminent female writer's of this or any
uhcr country-Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Sgnumcy,
assisted by one ofno less ability, Miss Leslie.

Universally pronounced superior 70 any other
Magzinc illustrations in This or any other country.
Beautiful as they undoubtedly are, we pronounce
without hesitation that those for this year all
be superior. The engraving shall always be
worth more than the price OF subscription. We
do not, as many OF ouf colempolaIes do, who,
would scom to tell verbal lalsehood, pass off
second hand plates as oiginbl. Ours are un-
undoubtedly SO, and the designs selected By orr
selves. and they will be continued through the
