GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK FOR 1852.
Increase OF Heading Matter!

| TIME LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
| L 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
| MISUNDERSTANDING after him in vain''-arc sutfi-
cicnt to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
| ness with which every new idea that he suggests j.
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, II ia sufficient, however,
to say that all the existing popular features of the
LADY's Book will be retained, and many new ncs,
| 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 must look for the
illusions of the master minds of Literature. 1t is
| useless to publish list of names-suhice it to say
that we published articles and have others to
publish from all the best A1ae'ican ,oriters, male and
| female.
Godey's Lady's Book for January, 1852, wllcon-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
gravings-three If which colored-an add-
| iional quantity of reading by American authors.
There is no question about the fact and the tens of
thousands Of notices that we have from the con-
temporary press will establish it. that 1t is the most
magnificent periodical in The ,corld,
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud OF,
| and their price is 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 Lady

Mcssrs. LITTLE & Bsows: think you have laid
the profession under great obligations, in the
publication of the English Reports in Law and
Equity in this country.
The low price at which the volumes arc offered
will enable the bar generally in this way to fur
nsh their libraries with the current English Re
ports, of which many of them have heretofore been
deprived. They will thus have ready access to
the decisions of courts sitting at the fountain
head Of the law, whence have been derived for the
most part, the several systems, more lees modi-
fed, daily administered by the courts OF this
try. And. however modified these systems may
be, it 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 IMMEDIATELy AFTER
THE PUBLICATION IN ENGLAND, CONSIDERATIONS
OF TIRE FIRST IMPORTANCE; for, if the Reports Of
casee decided arc of any value, the sooner they
arc in the bands of the profession the better. |
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commensurate with the merit of the enter
prise.

Messrs. LITTLE & BRowS-G Gentlemen. By your

far made, their compact and convenient arrange
mcnt, their carly publication, bringing down the
decisions of nll the important Courts TO a period
far within thosc Of any Court in our own coun-
try, together with their cheapncss ought TO be
sufficient recommendations to insure their general

ENGLISH LAW AND EQUITY REPORTS.
To the Legal Profession.

'kNHE FIRST YEAR of the publication of the
L English Reports IN Lao and Equity closes
with the sixth volume. Hereafter this series will
be published only in poiImes, and the issue OF Sc
parate parts will be discontinued IL is found that
the second part Of each volume follows 30 rapidly
after the first, that the advantages OF publishing
by parts are unimportant. Each volume will here
alter appear once In two months, In the same size
and style as heretofore, and at the same exceed
mgly low rate of 81 per volume to permanent sub
scrbers.
The profession need not be reminded that this is
the only series of Reports either in England or in
this country, which attempts to contain the
decisions Of ALL the English courts. In IL is series
every reported case Except nsi prius decisons) ID
given in FULL, without condemnation or abrdg
ment, and the profession may rely upon having an
accurate republication Of the EngIish cases.
1t may be proper .lso to state, that in England
there arc no regular reporters, authorized by law,
az in this country, but that each series OF Reports
10 there conducted solely as q private enterprise,
by private reporters And it is believed that for
PRoMPTNEss, ACCURACY, cLEARNEss, and BREviTY-
the essential requisites in any Rcports--the Law
Journal and the Jurst Series, not surpassed by
any rival series in England, and they have often
been found more correct. See the late case Qf

points of superiority in these Reports, they will
be found to contain many valuable cases not
elsewhere reported, while NO CASE ANY other
other series will be omitted in this Arrangements
have been made whereby this series will contain
all the reported cases in the Jurist and Law Jour
nal; in Clark and FinnelIy's Reports in the House
of Lords; +. F. Moore's Reports in the Privy
Council; the Reports of Simons, Hare, Beavan, Dc

Criminal Reports Of Dcnison, Temple and New
and E. w. Cox; the Admiralty Reports Of Robin
son, and the Ecclesiastical Reports of Robertson
combination of legal reports entirely unequallcd
in any country.
Additional value will also be given to this series
from the fact that, hereafter, they will be dgcscd
in the ann ual volumes of the United States Digest.
