Edited by HRS. Sarah j. Hale.
The publisher of the Lady's Book. knowing how
completely he put down all opposition in ls49, and
being assured that the public is also acquainted
with this fact, deems it only necessary to say that
in 1850 he will improve on l949; and he will, as
usual, give more reading and more engravings than
his cotemporaries Perhaps little comparison of
what he did last year, and what his adversaries did,
may be amusing, If not instructive to those about
to subscribe for monthly magazine. One thing
the public may be assured of that the publisher of
Godey's Lady's Book will S1t falsify his prospec-
tus, as he deems it great sin to tell ialsehood
10 print as to give it utterance to verbal ore Lis
ten to the universal voice of the American Press
Comparison 5et,cccn Godey and the other Phiiadel-
phia Monthlies.
In 1910. the Lady's Book gave GIG pages--which
is ll6 more than one, and l48 more than the other
Philadelphia monthly. He gave 28l engravngs--
among which were 20 colored, and SO full page
which is 1876 more than one, and $50 more than
the other.
We gave, in each number, piece Of music,
printed separately on tinted paper, making "a pa
ges or IL pieces in a year. To show the cheap
ness ofthe Lady's Book, this same music, if bought
separately at the music stores, would cost exactly
the price of the whole years subscr ption-$3
1t will be seen, at glance. which is the cheap
est magazine for SO, when you get | l6 pages Of
reading more than one magazine and l48 more than
an other; 136 engravlngs more than one, and $50
more than the other; to say nothing of the superiori
ty OF our engravings, among which are 20 colored,
and their usefulness to ladies' The Coored Fashion
Plates alone cost as much as nearly all the engray-
ngs of either of the other magazines. These
deayors to please subscribers have cost US an
immense sum of money; bnt if honesty of purpose
and positive dislike to falsehoods in prospectuses
will entie publisher to large subscription list
the Ladys Book is entitled to it.
Some Of our Peculiar Embellishments Ladies'
Work Table, which comprises every kind Of Nee
! dework, Embroidery, Knitting, Netting Crotchet
Patterns for Caps, Chemisettes Childrens clothes,
Wedding dresses, Indoor and Outdoor Costumes,
Birds of America; Colored Flower Plaies Model
Cottages and Furniture Fashionable do; Lace
Work; Vignette Plates at the head of articles, etc.
All the above are illustrated by engravings.
And, in 1850, will also be given a set Of engra-
Wings illustrative of The Costumes of all Nations,
with descriptions by Mrs. Hale. Most of the old
features of the Book that were so popular last year
will be retained. and new ones added as they may
suggest themselves to the publisher.
A New NOVEL, by w. Gilmore Simms, will be
one of the features for 1850.
Or Reading Matter--We have long stood at
the head Of the magazine world for our contrbn-
tions; they are always moral and instructive, and
SuCu as may Oc placeu DeiOre family WITHOUT
hesitation. This department is under the control
of Mrs. SARAH JosEPHA HALE, whose name alone
is sufficient guarantee for the propriety of the
Ladys Book. We may say the same of our en-
cravings. We will never as it is done by a CO.
temporary, publish indecent model-aItist pictures,
such as no parent would allow child to look at.
We will not here parade the names Of our con-
tributors: it is not necessary. Godey's Lady's
Book and It's proprietor are too we'll known for us
1I,o, tba <,ft
who, by their writings, have placed themselves at
the head of the authors of this country. One thing
our friends will oblige US by not doing-conferring
upon us the title of 1.-The Blackwood of America"
We do not wish to bear the appellation of a maya
zine that is opposed to the interests of this
try and always loud in its denuncatons of it; and
besides Blackwood does not publish Fashions
To up all, we unhesitatlngly state, that Ue
have much more than fulfilled all our promises, and
enter upon the year with new one, which those
who know us-and who does not will believe.
Godey's Lady's Book for 1850
shall ,urpaSs that for l649, and exceed all maga-
zines past, present, and to come.
