GODEY,S LADY'S BOOK FOR 1851.
Increase OF Reading Matters

TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
Il present many novel features suited to the ad-
vancing demands OF the public taste. II 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
MISUNDERSTANDING after him in vain"-arc sufi-
Gent to attest bfs brilliant success. The prompt
mesa 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 vet 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
LADY's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in Lady's Book and Fami-
ly Magazine, will be introduced. The u5eful 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. Ii Is
useless to publish list of names-suffce it to say
that have published articles. and have others to
publish from all the best Aneyican ,criters, male and
| female.
Godey's Lady's Book for January, 1852, willcon-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
engravngs-three af which cotored-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-
magnificent periodical tn the ,cortd.
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud Of,
and their price ia ten dollars year.
IL 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 otners is the IOliowlng
