This elegant and most popular Lady's Magazine
will commence new volume, in q style of rare
magnihcence, with the January ISSUE number
containing FOUR Splendid Engravines of the
most costly and expensive character. The publisher
has experienced, during the past year, the most
unqualified success, and enters upon the New Year
with determination to outstrip all cUtemporaries
The embellishments of the new volume are of
the most splendid and costly character, combining
every variety of style, and executed by the first
artists the country can produce.
The work has been THE LADIES' FAvORITE,
and this reputation it will continue to manta IN.
Hence, the character of It's literature will continue
to be such as to commend it especially to the SEX
1t will contain articles from the most popular and
pleasing writer's of the day, on every variety of
subject, but the work will in the main be devoted
to the cultivation Of the home virtues. Hence.
most of the stories will be of PRACTICAL domestic
character, from the pens of our best female wri-
tiers. The literary matter will not be the reflex
OF any one female mind, but will contain the
choicest productions of galaxy Of female writers.
The effort shall still be to render the work an
indispensable requisite to the boudor of every LADY
OF taste in the and and therefore, not its literary
matter alone shall oe compiled for their TASTE but
it will contain MONTHLY FASHIONS, ele-
gantiy coloured, which for excellence of drawing,
correctness in every particular and extreme beauty
OF the colouring and engraving shall far excel any
thing from other quarters. The fact that during
the last year the "Lady's World" has been the
guide book" in matters of taste on costume in
every city of the Union, has given il position
IN the fashionable world, which cannot be shaken
The unwavering fidelity of its designs to the Paris
ian and London styles, in advance, too, at least
six weeks, of all Others has placed it in the very
front rank as a work of authority in matters Of
dress. 1t is a we'll known fact, that the styles Of
the "Lady's World" appear in the other periodi-
Gals, pretending to give the fashions, often four
months later, when the styles have become COM
MN or obsolete.
LACE AND NEEDLE NORK-The most ell.
egant and the newest designs of lace work, en-
brodery, DC, shall be given in the work, with
the latest style of cops, curtains, head-dresses,
&C., rendering the Lady's World sample of
usefulness as we'll as of taste on the centre table
of every lady.
Of the various styles of engravings, which will
grace the pages of this work, we must mention as
among the most elegant SARTAIN'S UNRIVAL-
LED MEZZOTlNTS, which will grace the coming
volume, and excel, in the beauty of design and
delicacy of finish, any thing that has heretofore
appeared from his BURN. Mr.. Sartain is known
from one end of the Union to the other, as the
master, in this country, Of this celebrated style.
We have already under way five or six magnif-
cent plates, from this celebrated artist for the
volume, and shall follow them up with Mezzotnts
from every artist Of repute in the country. The
most finished and beautiful Line and Stippe En-
cravings will also grace the pages of the work,
from the hands of the very best artists the country
can produce. In fine, every variety and novelty
of embellishments that may be found elsewhere,
may be confidently looked for in the "Lady's
World" But the main design Of the work is to
furnish, in elegant and attractive style, the ear
lest, most correct, and fullest report in advance
o. ali the other Magazines, and prior to the issu-
ing Of them here, Of the Monthly Fashions, direct
from Paris and London.
This department will be under the control Of
French and English artists OF the highest celebrity,
so that every costume which appears in the ''Ladys
World" may be safely relied on "a not having
been trumped up at second hand in this country,
after they have been received. 1t is proposed not
only to surpass in the excellence, but to issue
every month a number and variety of Costumes,
which shall put to blush all other attempts at re-
porting for the fashionable world.
