THE LADIES' SERIAL.--The ladies' are bound to
take under their especial patronage the edition OF
Hannah More's works which the Harpers are pub
fishing. In that distinguished woman we see the
influence which may be exerted by her sex; and
power over high and low, rich and poor, greater
| than that exercised by Mrs More, was never OBJ
| tanned by another writer For their own credit, as
an evidence of their appreciation OF female talent
properly emploved and to prove their good taste in
literary matters, we trust the ladies will subscribe
| en- "'asse for Hannah Mores works, Harper's edi-
ton, which will be published IN eight numbers, at
| 25 cents each. Cheap enough. No. III is out, and
