rTNIIE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year viii
l. 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 suf.
cient to attest hs 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 VI
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 q Lady's Book and Fam.
iy Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.
10 the Magazines alone must look for the
illusions of the master minds Of Literature. II is
useless to publish list Of namessuflice il to say
that we ave published articles, and have others to
publish from all the best american Drters, male and

Godey's Lady's Book for January, 1852, will con-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and

tional quantity of reading by American authors.
There 10 no 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 lr0rid!
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud of,
and their price ia ten dollars year.
