FOUR Splendid Engravings of the mos1
costly and expensive character. The
publisher has experienced, during the pas,
year, the Most unqualified success, and
enters upon the New Year with q delrr'
minaiion TO outstrip all contemporaries.
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 arlIsis tbs
country can produce.
The work has been THE LADIES'
FAVORITE, and this reputation il w,l
continue TO maintain. Hence, the char.
acter Of its literature will continue to be
such as to commend it especially 10 The
sex. 1t will contain articles from the
most popular and pleasing writer's of the
day, on every variety Of subjects, but ,he
work will in the main be devoted TO Tho
cultivation OF the home virtues. Hence
most Of the stories will be of a practical
domestic character, from The pens of our
best female writers. The literary matter
will not be the reflex of any one female
mind, but will contain the choicest nro
auctions OF galaxy of female writer's
The effort shall still be to render the
work an indispensable requisite to ,he
boudolr of every lady of taste in the land.
and, therefore, not its literary matter alone
shall be compiled for their taste, but il will
contain MONTHLY FASHIONS, eIc.
gantly coloured, which for excellence Of
drawing, correctness in every particular
and extreme beauty OF the c"louring 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
il a position in the fashionable world.
which cannot be shaken. The unwaver.
ing fidelity Of its designs to the Partisan
and London styles, in advance, TOO. at
least six weeks, Of all others, has placed it
in the very front rank as work of al.
thority in matters of dress. 1t is awell
known fact that the styles of the .'Lady's
World" appear in the other periodicals,
pretending 10 give the fashions, often four
months later, when the sly les have be-
come common or obsolete.
LACE AND NEEDLE WORQ.-Tbe
most elegant and the newest design; of
lace work, embroidery, &C., shall be given
inthe work, with latest style of caps, cur
tans, head dresses, &c. rendering the La
dy's World a sample OF usefulness as we'll
as of taste on the centre table Of every lady.
Oi the various les Of engrvngs,
which will grace the pages of this work,
we must mention as among The most eIe-
giant SARTAIN'S UNRlVLLED MEZ.
which will grace the coming
volume, and excel, in The beauty of de-
sign and delicacy of finish, any thing that
has heretofore appeared from his burln.-
Mr.. Sartain is known from one end Of the
Union to The other, us the master, in this
of this celebrated style. We
have already under wa five o. six mag.
nificent plates, from this celebrated artist,
for ike new volume, and shall follow them
up with Mezzot nts from every artist of
repute IN the county. The most finished
and beautiful Linri and Stipple Engrav-
ings will also grace the pages of The
work, from the hands of the very best ar
lists the sounlry can produce. In fine, cy-
cry variety and novelty of embellish-
ments 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 earliest, most correct, and full.
lest report in advance of all the other
and piior to the issuing of
them here, of the Monthly Fashions, di
rect from Paris and London.
This department will be under the con-
troll of French and English artists of the
highest celebrity, so that every costume
which appears in the gladys World" may
be safely relied on as not having been
trumped up at second hand in this country
after they have been received. 1t is pro-
posed not on y TO surpass in the excel
ence, but TO issue every month number
and variety of Costumes, which shall put
10 blush all other attempts at reporting for
the fashionable world.
TIME OF PUBLICATION The la
ly's World" will be issued from the 18th
10 the goth of the month proceeding the
month for which it will be published, or da-
ed-or about the time the steamships,
which sail from Europe on the first Of the

can be got out here, and anticipating all
other Magazines at least six weeks.
