GODEY's LADY's BOOK FOR 1854.
Incxease Of Reading Matter !,


TIME LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
i present many novel features suited TO the ads.
yancing 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
following-"toiling after him in vain '-are suff
cient to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea thathe suggestsis
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 is sufficient, however,
to say that all the existing popular features of the
LApYs Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in Lady's Book and Fam-
y Magazine, will be introduced. The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.
To the Magazines alone we must look for the
illusions of the master minds of Literature. Ii Is
useless to publish list of napes-sufce 1t to say
that we I'VE published articles, and have others to
publish from all the best american ,orikers, malean
female.
Godey's Lady 70 Book for January, 1852, wllcon
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
engravings-three qf tohich are colored-an add
tional 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 it, that it is the most
magnificent periodical in the iDord!
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud Of,
and their price ia ten dollars year.
1t must be observed that the LApy's Book caters
to the taste of the American Ladies'. 1t furnishes
them with every tnlng tnat can interest Lazy
and among others is the following:
GODEY's RELIABLE FASHION PLATES,

" ASHlN6TON, january To- 1907.
Messrs. LITTLE & BRowN: 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,
will 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 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 or less modi
fed, daily administered by the courts of this coun-
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 ENeLAND, CONSIDERATION
OF THE FIRST IMPORTANCE; for, if the Reports of
cases decided of any value, the sooner they
are in the hands of the profession the better. ]
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be Commensurate with the merit of the enter.
