COMPARISON BETWEEN Cooley AND THE
OTHER PHILADELPHIA MONTHLlES.
In lS49, the Lady's Book gave GIG pages-which
is 10 more than one, and l4S more than the other
Philadelphia monthly. He gave 2Sl engravings-
among which were 30 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 max "a
ness of the Ladys Book, this music, if bought
separately at the music stores, would cost exactly
the price of the whole years subscription
1t will be seen, at glance, which is the cheapest
magazine for So, when you get ll6 pages of read
ing more than one magazine, and AS more than
another; 1876 engravings more than one, and $50
more than the other; to say nothing of the superior
ity of our engravings, (among which 20 colored)
and their usefulness to ladies. The Colored Fashion
Plates alone cost much as nearly all the engrav
ings of either of the other magazines. These en-
deavors to please subscribers have cost us an
immense sum of money; but if honesty of purpose
and positive dislike to fasehood in prospectuses
will entite publisher TO large subscription list,
the Lady's Book is entitled TO it.
SOME OF OUR PECULIAR EMBELLISHMENTS.
Ladies' Work Table, which comprises every kind
of Needlework, Embroidery, Knitting, Netting,
Crochet, Patterns for Caps, Chemsettes, Childrens

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.

OUR READING MATTER.
We have long stood at the head of the magazine
world for our contributions; they always moral
and instructive, and such may be placed before
a family without hesitation. This department is
under the control Of MRS. SARAH JOSEPHA
HALE whose name alone il a sufficient guarantee
for the propriety of the Lady's Book. We may say
the same Of our engravings. We will never, as is
done by contemporary, publish indecent model
artist pictures, such as no parent would allow
child 10 look at.
We will not here parade the names of our con-
tributors; it is not necessary. Godey's Lady's
Book and its proprietor are too well-known for
% take up space TO enumerate the names of those
who by their writings, have placed themselves at
the head of the authors of this country. One thing
our friends will obige us by not dong-conferring
upon US the title Of "Thc Blackwood of America
We do not wish TO bear the appelation of maya
zinc that is opposed 10 the interests Of this country
and always loud in Its denunciations Of it, and be-
sides, Blackwood does not publish FASHIONS. To
sum up all, unhesitatingly state, that
WE HAVE MUCH MORE THAN Full
FILLED ALL OUR PROMISES,
and enter upon the year with new one, which
those who know us-and who does not'-wi be-
hcve.
