GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK TOA 1854.
Increase OF Reading Matter,

TNHE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
| i 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
| following-"to toiling after him in yain''-are suffi.
cent 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 all the existing popular features of the
LApY's BOOK will be retained, and many new on es
particularly attractive in Lady's Book and Fami-
ly Magazine, will be introduced The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.
10 the Magazines alone we must look for the
illusions of the master minds Of Literature. 1t is
useless to publish list of names-spfhce it to say
that we /, ave published articles, and have others to
publish from all the best american ,uriers, male and
femGle.
Godcy's Lady's Book for January, 1852, will con-
tain In addition to the most beautiful and numerous
engravings-three Qf tchich coiored-an addi-
tonal quantity of reading by American authors
There Is no question about the fact and the Of
thousands of notices that we have from the con-
temporary press will establish it, that it is the most
magnificent periodical in the tcOyld!
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 LApv's Book caters
to the taste OF the American Ladies. 1t furnishes
them with every thing that can interest Lady,
and among others is the following
GODEY'S RELIABLE FASHION PLATES,

Messrs. LITTLE BRowN: I 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 at which the volumes are offered,
VIII enable the bar generally in this way to 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 accesa 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 or oss rriodi-
fed, daily administered by the courts Of this coun-
try. And, however modified these systems may
be- 1t is manifest that these decisions IN ust shed
great light upon the investigation of most of the
cases arising irrc.
Your plan, also, will furnish the profession in
this country with the cases IMMEDIATELY AFTER
THE PUBLicATIoS IN EsoLAsp,A A coNsIpKRArIoN
or THE FIRST ImPoRTANoK; for, il the Reports of
cases decided are of any value, the sooner they
are in the hands of the profession the better. I
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commensurate with the merit OF the enter
prise.
am, with great respect your obediont servant,
SAMUEL NELSON.
