In announcing to his numerous patrons and the
public at large his arrangements for the year 1912
the proprietor of Godeys Ladys Book takes occasion
to acknowledge the unparalleled and triumphant sue
cess of his Magazine, which has now reached the ex-
raordinary number of
Az 1000 MONTHLY
beng larger edition than has ever been printed OF
any other work Of any description in America. This
success he is has been attained by the vast
periorty which the Ladys 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 as well
as pictorial, emblematic, artistic, and mechanical
That this is no idle boast he appeals to the experience
OF the past twelve years, in all which time he has made
WOWtSt 10 tDutCH ne Strictly
ed, undertaken anything which his means did not
enable him to accomplish to the utmost. Entering,
he is about to do the oath volume of the Lady IS
Book, with increased energy and accumulated re-
sources with an ample knowledge of the business in
which he is engaged acquired by long years of unre
mitted application; with subscription list unparal-
eled in the annals of literature; with numerous facl-
es not possessed by any other publisher with we'll
digested and wide extended arrangements and above
all, with stedast purpose of maintaining the lofty
.la l.I L.,
not hestated to incur expenses, which under other
circumstances might prove startling but by means of
which he will be enabled to make the Lady's Book
the richest the rarest the most attractive, and the
most valuable periodical, ntrinsically and eXrinsic
ally, ever offered to the American public.
Literary Departmental has been the aim of
the proprietor to impart to the Lady's Book high
literary and moral tone; and for this purpose he has,
without regard to cost procured the aid of the most
eminent writers and, for several years past has
rhitted its editorial supervision to Mrs Sarah j. Hale
Mrs. Lydia IL Sgourney, and Miss f. Leslie; ladies,
OF whom not only their own sex, but the whole coun
try, have reason to be proud. In this respect the
Ladys Book enjoys decided advantage over all other
publications, is the only work devoted to ladies'
which ladies drect--an advantage, which must be OBJ
vious to every parent husband, brother and friend,
as well as to every lady who properly appreciates the
dignity and Importance to her To add to its
periory in this particular the proprietor has secured
in addition to the ladies already mentioned the inva

Holland, Mary Hewitt and other English ladywriters
of distinction some of whom have already published
in the Ladys Book the only original contributions they
have ever made to Ameiica 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
Ladys 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 gen
tieman and he has also retained all of the contri-
buors whose writings have heretofore given such am
pie satisfaction including w. G.. Simms, ESQ., Pro-
fessor Ingraham Professor Dmtry, Professor Frost,
Professor Walter, Park Benjamin Esq, r. S. Mac

any thing that has ever been or can be attempted
