In announcing TO his numerous patrons and the

| any other work of any description in America. This
he is has been attained by the vast SUI
periority which the Lady's Book has always main
tanned over the contemporary magazines which have
attempted to rival its merits, superiority which he
is still determined to preserve by keeping it, in all its
departments, literary intellectual and moral well

mltted its editorial supervision to Mrs Sarah j. Hale
Mrs Lydia II. Sigourney and Miss E. Leslie; ladies,
of whom not only their sex, but the whole
try, have reason to be proud. In this respect the
Ladys Book enjoys decided advantage all other
publications, il is the only work devoted to ladies'
which ladies direct-an advantage, which must be OBJ
vous to every parent, husband, brother and friend
well to every lady who properly appreciates the
dignity and Importance to her To add to its su
perory in this particular the proprietor has secured
in addition to the ladies already mentioned the inval
liable services of Miss c. NJ. Sedgwick author of
Redwood Clarence, Letters from England, &C., Sc.

in the Ladys Book the only original contributions they
have ever made to American literature Nor has he
omitted to procure the assistance of eminent writers
of the other sex. Aware of the universal and we'll
deserved popularity of N. p. WILLIS Esq., and conf
dent that the productions of his graceful and elegant
pen will be highly acceptable to the readers of the
Lady's Book the proprietor has entered into ar
rangement, by which he will be able to give in each
number of his work exclusive article from that gen
tleman and he has also retained all of the contri-
butors whose writings have heretofore given such
pie satisfaction; including w. q. Simms, Esq, Pro-
iessor Ingraham Professor Dimitry, Professor Frost
