Ornamental Department.

I, is source of no little pride the Proprietor of
the Lady's Book, that he first introduced into this
country the plan of furnishing, along with monthly
periodical of elegant literature, embellishments of
an attractive and costly character. The first steel
engravings accompanying such work were given
by him: the first mezzotnt engraving was given by
him: the first patterns of ace-work and embroidery
were given by him: the iist cooured plates of fash
ion were given by him. These are things 10 which
wo would not refer, if some of those who have es-
snyed to follow in his footsteps, not content with
initiating all his designs, even to the form of his
book, the size of his typo, and the colour of his
yer, had ooishly put forward claims TO original
ity, and tempted 10 found right to an exclusive
merit on doing that which they have borrowed from
his example. But what he has done heretofore in
the way OF establishment TO his Book though it
tar exceeded any effort Of those who copy
his movements, cannot compare with what he now
means to do. His arrangements for this department
OF his work have been projected the most liberal
scale Of expenditure, involving an extent of outlay
such as has before been dreamed OF in any Pc
rodica, European American. As an evidence OF
his intentions, he now states that each number of the
Lady's Book for the ensuing year, At least,
