GoDEY's LADY's BOOK FOR 1861.
Increase of Reading Matter:

TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
l. 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 imiators, who have been constantly
following-"toing 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 ia vet to come He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow. 1t is sufficient, however,
to say hatail the existing popular features of the
LADY's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in a Lady's Book and Fami-
y 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 1t to say
that have published articles. and have others to
publish from all the best american ,oriiers, male and
female.
Godey's Lady's Book for January, 1852, will con-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
engravings-three Of iohich coored-an addi.
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 1t is the most
magnificent periodical IN the irorld,
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud of,
and their price ia ten dollars year.
1t must be observed that the LADY's Book caters
to the taste of the American Ladies. II furnishes
them with every thing that can interest Lady y
and among others ia the following
GoDEY's RELIABLE FASHION PLATES,

PREMIUMS TO NEW sUBscRIBERs!
OWING to the late revolutions and counterrevo-
" lutions among the nations of Europe, which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and of which 'e end is not yet, the leading peris
odicals of Great Britain have become invested with
degree of interest hitherto unknown They oc
cupy middle gr, and between the hasty disioint
ed, and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the elaborate and pondcrous trcatises to
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals. and
the very low prices at which they offered to
subscribers The following is their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views mod
crately, though clearly and firmly expressed of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing, and
Radical. 60 Blackwood'' and the 60 London Quar-
tery'' arc Tory; the Edinburgh Review Wing;
and the I" Westminster Review Liberal. The
" North British Review owes it's establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
andis not ultra in it's views any one of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since ha
death, is conducted by his son-in-law, Dr. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is oftfc very highest order. The "West-
minister, though reprinted under that title onlv ia
published in England under the title of the For
egn Quarterly and Westminster it being, in
fact, union of the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles. 1t has, there
fore, the advantage by this combination of uniting
m one work the bestfeaturcs of both heretofore
issued.
The above periodicalsare reprintedin New York.
