GODEY's LADY's BOOK FOR 1862.
Increase OF Reading Matter!

TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
A. present many novel features suited to the ad
vancing demands Of the public taste 1t has ever
been the object Of the publisher to take the lead
among the popular Magazines of this country; and
the host of imitators, who have been constantly
notwithstanding after him in vain'--are suffi
cient to attest his brilliant success The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, 10 sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises of
what is yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow 1t is sufficient however
to say that all the existing popular features of the
LApv's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in Ladys Book and FaIni-
iy Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.
To the Magazines alone we must look for the
illusions of the master minds of Literature 1t is
useless to publish list of names-sufiice it to say
that we have published articles. and have others to
publish from all the best 4mericGn riters, male and
female.
Godeys Lady's Book for January, 1852, will con-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
engravings-three Of iohich are colored--an addi
tonal quantity of reading by American authors,
There is question about the fact, and the tens of
thousands of notices that we have from the con-
temporary press will establish it., thatit is the most
magnificent periodical in The tcorld!
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1859
that the London Arts Union would be proud Of,
and their price is ten dollars year.
II must be observed that the LADYs Book caters
to the taste of the American Ladies. II furnishes
