GOOEY'S LADY'S BOOK FOR 1851.
Increase OF Reading Matter!

THE 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 ead
the host of imitators, who have been constantly
MISUNDERSTANDING after him in vain''-are suffi-
Gent to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with whichevery new idea thathe suggests is
adopted by others, ia sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact IN his promises OF
what il 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
particularly attractive in Lady's Book and Fami.
iy 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. 1t ia
useless to publish list of names-sufice it to say
that we i've published articles, and have others to
publish from all the best american ,oriters, male ana
female.
tain in addition to the most beautiful and numerous
engravings-three Of ,chich are colored-an addi-
tional quantity of reading by American authors
There is no question about the fact and the tens OF
temporary press will establish it, that it is the mos
magnificent periodical in the ,porid!
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud Of
and their price Is ten dollars year.
1t 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,
and among others is the following:
