TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
Il present many novel features suited to the ad
yancing 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 initators who have been constantly
following" toilipg 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 is 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
plane for others to follow tits sufficient, however
