publisher has experienced, during the n.l
year, the Most unqualified success ~
enters upon the New Year with d,'1
mination to outstrip all contemporaries
The Embellishments of The new >.
ume are of the most splendid and co,t|
character, combining every yarietv
style, and executed by the first er,si,GI
country can produce.
The work has been THE LADIES'
FAVORITE, and this reputation i, "
continue 10 maintain. Hence, the Cha
acter OF its literature will continue loI|
such as TO commend it especially tO6|
sex. 1t will contain articles fromA.|
most popular and pleasing writers Of M
day, on every variety of subjects, bu, 4.
work will in the main be devoted 10 n,
cultivation Of the home virtues. Heu,.
most Of the stories will be Of practic,'
domestic character, fran The pens of op|
best female writers. The literary matte
will not be the reflex of any one femsl
mind, but will contain the choicest uro
ductions OF a galaxy of female writers.
The effort shall still be to render Nh
work an indispensable requisite 10 lh
boudoir Of every lady of taste in the land,
and, therefore, not its literary matter alon,
shall be compiled for their taste, but il wr
contain MONTHLY FASHIONS, eIs
gantIy coloured, which for excellence al
drawing, correctness in every particus,
and extreme beauty OF the culouring am
engravings, shall far excel any thing from
other quarters. The fact that during n,
last year the "Lady's World" has been h,
"guide book" in matters OF taste on COS.
tune in every city of The Union, has given
it a position in the fashionable world
which cannot he shaken. The unwayet
ing fidelity of its designs to the Partisan
and London styles, in advance, too, al
leastsi weeks, of all others, has placcda|
in the very front rank as a work of aG
thority in matters of dress. 1t is wei
known fact, that the styles of the "Lady>
Wor appear in the other periodical
pretending to give the fashions, often fn
months later, when the styles have be-
come common or obsolete.
LACE AND NEEDLE WORQ.-Th
most elegant and the newest designs 81
lace work, embroidery, &c, shall be given
inthe wolk, with latest style of caps, cur
tains, head dresses, &c. rendering the La.
dy's World sample OF usefulness as well
as of taste 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 eIe-
CANT SARTAIN'S UNRlVLLED NEE.
ZOTINTS, 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 burin.-
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 wa y five o: six mag.
nilicent plates, from this celebrated artist
for IKE new volume, and shall follow them
up with Mezzotints from every artist Of
repute IN the county. The most finished
and beautiful Line and Stipple Engrav
ings will also grace the pages Of The
work, from the hands of the very best ar
lists the sountry can produce. In fine, ev.
cry variety and novelty Of embellish
ments that may be- found elsewhere, may
be confidently looked for in the "Ladys
World" But the main design of the work
is to furnish, in elegant and attractive
style, the earliest, most correct, and lul-
lest report in advance of all the other
Magazines, and prior to the issuing Of
them here, of she Monthly Fashions, d.
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
winch appears IN the "Lady's 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 only 10 surpass in the excel.
lence, but 10 issue every month number
and variety Of Costumes, which shall put
to blush all other attempts at reporting for
the fashionable world.
TINE OF PUBLICATIONS The ala
dy's World" will be issued from the 18th
TO the 20lh of the month proceeding the
month for which it will be published, or da-
ted-or about the time the steamships,
which sail from Europe on the first Of the
month, usually arrive. Thus the work
will be in the hands Of every subscriber,
with the most correct fashions, before they
can be got out here, and anticipating all
other Magazines at least six weeks.
