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 l849; and he will, as
usual, give more reading and more engravings than
his coemporaries. 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 Ladys Book will not falsify his prospec-
tus, as he deems it great sin to tell fasehood
in print as to give 1t utterance a verbal one. Lis
