I NISH IUDI1IOh HUME.
LADIES' AMERICAN MAGAzlNE.-The first
number Of this new monthly is on our table
/ II gives promise of high order OF excellence,
especially in its pictorial department. The en-
tgravings are very fine, surprising in delcacy
of shade and clearness OF expression any we
have ever seen in works of this kind The
literature OF the book is of description similar
10 that of Graham's Magazine, which our rea-
ders are aware we have frequently praised
| By the way, We almost neglected TO state that
abraham is defunct, and that the "Ladies'
American" is its liaeal successor. The "Easy
Talk Of Mr.. LELAND is continued in the new
/ publication, and is as sparkling aad vivacious
as ever. The price is only 50 per annum.-
