literary and moral tone and Tor this purpose he has
without regard to cost procured the aid Of the most
eminent writers and, for several years past has
mitted its editorial supervision to Mrs Sarah Hale
Mrs. Lydia H. Sigourney, and Miss h. Leslie ladies,
of whom not only their own SEX but the whole coun-
try have reason TO be proud In this respect the
Lady's Book enjoys adecded advantage all other
publications. il is the only work devoted 10 ladies,
which ladies drect--an advantage, which must be OBJ
yious to every parent, husband brother, and friend,
well as to every lady who properly appreciates the
dignity and importance TO her sex To add 10 its
perory in this particular, the proprietor has secured
in addition TO the ladies already mentioned the inyal
liable services of Miss G. Nj Sedgwck, author Of
writer, whose efforts in raising the intellectual
standard of her sex, and indicating the true rights of
woman not less than her richly-giited intellect and
varied information have gained her reputation as
wide it will be enduring. He has also made

Of distinction; some of whom have already published
in the Ladys Book the only original contributions they
have ever made to American literature. Nor has he
omitted to procure the assistance of eminen writers
of the other sex. Aware of the universal and we'll
deserved popularity of N p. Wills, 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 an ar
rangement, by which he will be able to give in each
number of his work exclusive article from that gem
teman, and he has also retained all of the contri-
butors whose writings have heretofore given such am
pie satisfaction including W.. g. Smms, ESD, Pro
fessor Ingraham, Professor Dmitry Professor Frost

any thing that has ever been or can be attempted
