aoDEY's LADY's BOOK FOR 1852.
increase or Reading Matter !

TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
IL 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
following-"to toiling 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
plans for others to follow is sufficient, however,
to say that oil the existing popular features of the
LADY's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in 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
efusions of the master minds of Literature. II is
useless to publish list of names-suffce it to say
that have published articles, and have others
publish from all the best 4meTtcGn tDriterS male and
feaaLe.
Godey's Lady's Book for January, 1852, will con-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
ngravings-tiree Of tphich are colored--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 it is The most
magnificent periodical in the trorld!
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud of,
and their price ia ten dollars year.
ii 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
and among others is the following
