In announcing to his numerous patrons and the

to acknowledge the unparalleled and triumphant sue
cess Of his Magazine which has reached the ex-
traordinary number of

being larger edition than has been printed of
any other work of any description in America. This
success he is has been attained by the vast
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
as pictorial, embematic, artistic, and mechanical
That this is idle boast he appeals to the experience
of the past twelve years in all which time he has made
promise 10 the public Uhich he has not strictly PERFORM
ed undertaken any thing which his did not
enable him to accomplish to the utmost Entering,
he is about to do the oath volume of the Lady

without regard to cost, procured the aid of the most

mitted its editorial supervision to Mrs. Sarah j. Hale
Mrs. Lydia II. Sigourney, and Miss f.. Leslie; ladies'
of whom not only their own sex, but the whole
try, have reason to be proud In this respect, the
Ladys Book enjoys adecded advantage all other
publications. it 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 sex. To add to its
perority in this particular the proprietor has secured
in addition the ladies already mentioned the nval

Lady's Book, the proprietor has entered into an ar
rangement, by which he will be able to give in each

teman; and he has also retained all Of the contri-
butors whose writings have heretofore given such
pie satisfaction; including w. G.. Smms, Esq, Pro-
