GODEY'S LADY'S BOOK FOR 1861.

TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
L present many novel features suited to the ad-
vnncing 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 "toiling after him in van''-are suffi-
Gent to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, ia sufficient reason for his not
| being very explicit and exact In his promises OF
what s 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
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 must look for the
illusions of the master minds Of Literature. 1t is

Godey's Lady's Book for January, 1852, will con

temporary press will establish it, that it is the most
magnificent periodical in The Dord!
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud of,
and their price is ten dollars year.
II 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 a Lady,

Messrs. LITTLE BRowS: l 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 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 coun
try. And. however modified these systems may
be, il 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 InMxpIATHLY Aztec
THE PUBLICATION IN EseLAND, CONSOLIDATION
THE rIRsT IMPORTANCE; for, if the Reports Of
cases decided arc of any value, the sooner they
ore in the hands Of the profession the better. /
sincerely hope your encouragement from the bar
will be commensurate with the merit OF the enter
prise.
