GoDnY,s LADY's BOOK FOR 1859.
Increase of Reading Matter

TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
i present many novel features suited to the ad-
vancng 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
following-'toi after him in vain"-are sutfi-
cient to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
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
plans for others to follow tits sufficient however
to say that all the existing popular features OF the
LApY's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in a Lady's Book and Fami
ly 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. IL is
useless to publish list Of names-suftice 1t to say
that have published articles and have others to
publish from all the best Americdn ,oriters, male and
fe~Gle.
Godey's Lady's Book for January. 1852, will con-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
| engravings-htree IF Which are coored-an addl-
tional 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, that it is The most
m0gnif cent periodical in the trorid!
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that tue London Arts Union would be proud of,
and their price is ten dollars year.
IT must be observed that the LADY's Book caters
to the taste of the American Ladies. 1t furnishes
them with every thing that can interest a Lady
and among others is the following
