THE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
i 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 tho lead
among the popular Magazines of this country; and
the host of imitators, who have been constantly
MISUNDERSTANDING after him in vain"-are sufh.
Gent to attest his brilliant success The prompts
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 OF
what is yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow. 1t 10 sufficient however

LADY's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
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 we must look for the
illusions of the master minds OF Literature Ii ia

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
magni fcent periodical in the ,oOrld!
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud Of,
