Magazine will commence a new volume.
IN style of rare magnficence, with The
January issue, a number containing
FOUR Splendid Engrayings 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 a deter.
mlnailon to outstrip all coiemporaries.
The Embellishments of The new vol.
ume 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'
FAVORlIE, and this reputation it will
continue 10 maintain. Hence, the char
acter 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 writers of the
day, on every variety of subjects, but the
work will in the main be devoted 10 the
cultivation OF the home virtues. Hence
most of the stories will be Of practical
domestic character, from the pens of our
best female writer's. The literary matter
will not be the reflex of any one female
mind, but will contain the choicest pro.
auctions of galaxy of female writer's.
The effort shall still be TO render the
work an indispensable requisite 10 the
boudoir of every lady of taste in the land;
and, therefore, not its literary matter alone
shall be compiled for their taste, but it will
contain MONTHLY FASHIONS, ele.
gantly coloured, which for excellence of
drawing, correctness in every particular,
and extreme beauty OF the colourng and
engravings, 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 cos.
tune in every city Of The Union, has given
tia position in the fashionable worla
which cannot he shaken. The un"
ing fidelity of its designs to the Pu.
and London styles, in advance, too, a.
least six weeks, of all others, has placed it
in the very front rank as work of au.
thority in matters Of dress. 1t is well
known fact, that the styles of the 'Lady's
World" appear in the other periodicals,
pretending TO give the fashions, often four
months later, when the styles have be-
come common or obsolete.
LACE AND NEEDLE WORQ.-The
most elegant and the newest design of
lace work, embroidery, &c, shall be given
lnthe work, with latest style of caps, cur
tains, head dresses, &c. rendering the La
dy's World sample OF usefulness as we'll
as oftaste on the centre table of every lady.
Oh The various sly les Of engrvings,
which will grace the pages of this work,
we must mention as among the most ele-
giant SARTAlN'S UNRlVLLED MEZ-
which will grace the coming
volume, and excel, in the beauty Of de-
sign and delcacy of finish, any thing that
mas heretofore appeared from his BURN
Mr.. Sartain is known from one end of the
Union to the other, as the Master, in this
of this celebrated style. We
nave already under wa ,iive o: six mag
lilicent plates, from this celebrated artist,
or ike new volume, and shall follow them
up with Mezzotnts from every artist of
'epute IN the county. The most finished
md beautiful Line and Stipple Engrav-
ngs will also grace the pages of the
work, from the hands of the very best ar
lists the sountry can produce. In fine, ev-
Try variety and novelty of embelish-
nents that may be found elsewhere, may
,e confidently looked for in the "Lady's
World" But the main design of the work
S to furnish, in elegant and attractive
lyle, the earliest, most correct, and full
est report in advance Of all the other
Magazines, and prior 10 the issuing of
hem here, of the Monthly Fashions, d.
ect from Paris and London.
This department will be under the con-
rol of French and English artists of the
ighest celebrity, so that every costume
which appears in the gladys World" may
re safely relied on as not having been
rumped up at second hand in this country
fter they have been received. 1t is pro-
osed not only TO surpass in the excel
ence, but to issue every month number
nd variety of Costumes, which shall put
D blush all other attempts at reporting for
he fashionable world.
