GODEY's LADY's book FOR 1859.
I,.c~~~sa aF n - 1nnu MmfferY

TIME LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
i present many novel features suited TO the adj
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''-are suh
Gent to attest his brilliant success The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, is sufficient 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 1t is sufficient however,
to say that nil 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 Ind
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

tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
cngravings-three Qf sohich c0I0red-an add
tonal 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 1t. that il is the most
magnificent periodical in the tcOrld!
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud Of,
and their price 10 ten dollars year.
1t must be observed TINT the LADY's Book caters
to the taste of the American Ladies'. 1t furnishes

Messrs. LITTLE Bsows: ! think you have laid
the profession under great obligations. in the re-
publication Of the English Reports in Law and
Equity" In this country.
The low price nj which the volumes are offered,
will enable the bar generally in this way ~ fur
nish their libraries with the current English Re-
ports, Of which many Of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have a ready access TO
the decisions Of courts sitting at tbs fountain
head Of the law, whence have been derived for the
most part, the several systems, or less nodi
fed, daily administered by the courts Of this coun
try. And. however modified these systems may
be, ii is manifest that these decisions must shed
great light upon the investigation Of most Of the
cases arising here.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IsnEDIATrLy AFTER
THE PUBLICATION IN EsotASD, coSsiDgRATIos
riRsT IMPoRTAscE; for, II the Reports OF
cases decided ore Of any value, the sooner they
are In the hands Of the profession the better.
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commemorate with the merit Of the enter
prise.

PREMIUMS TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS!

PREMIUMsT TO suBsCRIBERs!
Owing to the late revolutionsand counterrevo-
~ lutions among the nations OF Europe which
have followed each other in such quick succession.
and of which ths end is NOT yet, the leading peri
odicals Of Great Britain have become invested with
degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjoint-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records OF the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatses TO
be furnished by tho historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem 1t proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they are 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 periodical con ained the views, mod
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing, and
Radical. "B lackwood" and the " London Quar-
terly" are Tory; the edinburgh Review" Wing;
and the Westminster Review" Liberal The
North British Review owes it's establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
and not ultra in its views any one of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his son law, DR.. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
minister though reprinted under that title only, il
published in England under the title OF the :" For
eign Quarterly and Westminster" it being, in
fact, union the two Reviews formerly published
ard reprinted under separate titles. 1t has there
fore, the advantage by this combination of uniting
in one work the best of both heretofore
issued.
