GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK!
Literary and Pictorial.
The Book Of the Nation and Arts Union
of America.

of America.
THE LADYs's Book is now in the
twenty-second year Of its publication by
the same publsher-a fact unprecedented
in the history of any American Magazine.
Nothing but real worth in a publication
could be the cause of so prolonged an
existence, especially in the literary world,
where everything is so evanercent. Hun
dreds Of Magazines have been started, and,
after short life, have departed-while
the "Lady's Book" alone stands trump
hant, proud monument reared by the
Ladies OF America as testimony of their
own worth.
Many persons, who seek no further
than our title, presume that the " Ladys
Book" is intended merely for the amuse-
ment Of class, and that it docs not enter
into the discussion fthose more important
questions connected Will the realities and
the duties cf life which every wcll-informed
woman, mv;;her and DAUGHTER, should be
acquainted with. But such is not the
fact. 1t is now, as it has ever been, our
constant care to combine, in the page of
the " Lady's Book" whatever is useful,
wi atever is elevating, whatever is pure,
dignified, and virtuous in sentiment, with
whatever may afford rational and inno-
cent amusement.
GoDEY's SPLENDID ESeRAvINos on STEEL
1t Is the fashion with many Magazines
to announce in their advertisements,
"Splendid Engraving, Plates" &c. what is
the disappointment Of the duped subscriber
when he receives the numbers of Machine
thus advertised, to find all his splendid
engravings dwindled down to paltry wood
cuts-as contemplate in design as in
execution!
The publisher Of the }" Lady's Book"
performs ali he promises, and, as some Of
our exchanges are kind enough to say,
"more than he promises Each number
of the L.ady's Book" contains at least
three engravings from steel plates, en-.
graved by the best artists, either in Line
ShpPle, or Mezzottint, and sometimes
Four
