tkL.^rr:-j0i mi* jjflll Jiawiat ' GODf'S LA0FS BOOK, Edition 2.>,000 monthly. ^Ir.ro than sixty Figures of Fashions each y year, (treat addition to the Editorul Department. MRS. LYDIA II SIGOURNEY, Whose name is so intimately connected with the Literature of our Country and w iio has j.istlv been termed by the contemporary press The lie mans of Amcri~ cu. Will assist Airs. Hale in the editorial | department. It is with feelings of the greatest pleasure that the publisher of the Hook makes litis announcement The editorial corps will now consist of Mrs. Sahaii J. 11am:, Mrs. Iadia II. Sjoourney and J .oris A. Goduy. Airs. Sitrournev will commence her va limbic aid willi the January number. The Lady's Book lias always been noted for the purity of its contents; that marked distinction which characterizes it shall still be preserved; indeed, with such conductors it will be impossible jo go astray. Twenty volumes have already been issued. It is usual to announce that a small edition only will be published. Contrary to this, the Proprietor of the Lady's ljook announces that lie will publish an immense edition, with which he hopes to j supply all those who will favor him with orders, commencing with the January number. It will be seen by this advertisement that every effort has been made by the proprietor of this work to make it superior to onv other in America, and as a NEW YEAR'S GIFT. The Lady's Book is probably the most proper that eould be desired for Ladies, edited by their own sex and assisted as the editorial department is by the pictoral embellishments it is positively the Boudoir companion. . There are other publications that adver Use fashion 1'lates. The Publisher of the Lady's Book wishes il to be distinctly understood that the principal Fashions in his work are coloured, and in every Number, which is not the case with any other work published in this country. Uuncolourcd Plates of Fashions.'^-Also monthly. This is a novel feature in the work, and as il is no great expense to give plates of Fashions without coloring, the Publisher will give from three to six figures each month, in addition to the 3 colored?This will make in all, generally about Kane Figures of Fashion monthly. Lace patterns and patterns of embroidery will be published at regular intervals.? These br ;uliful ornaments (particularly the former) have given great satisfaction. MUSICAL DEPARTMENT Is under the superintendence of J. G. I Osborne, than whom no person is more capable of doing it justice. The Literary Department is placed under the superintendence of Mrs. Sarah J. IIai.i: and Mrs. Lvpia Sicournlu, two Ladies well known to the world that to mention their names in connection with any publication is at once a guarantee of its morality, Airtue, and utility. Of their capability to conduct The Lady's 13ook it is presumed no person will doubt, and the proprietor mentions with pleasure that no English or American Magazine can publish in connection with its Literary department two names so celebrated in the world of letters. Fac Similies.?A great deal of curiositv is often expressed to see the Chiroera l ? o - phy of celebrated persons. Wc shall endeavour as far as lies in our power to gratify this feeling by giving lrorn time to time correct imitations of the most cclc-j brated Female writers of the day. Literature, Tales, Essays, Legends, Ro-: i toantic incidents in History, Extracts from the old Poets, Reviews, Poetry, Female , .Education, Embellishments, Fashions colored and uncolorcd, Lace Embroidery, ( Fac Similics, Music ?fcc. See. < More than Sixty Figures of Fashions |' yearly colored and uncolorcd, the Pro-j; j.rictor being determined to consult all; lastcs. Any embellishments to be found j, in any other Magazine may be looked for in the Lady's Bjok. ^ INCREASE OF SUBSCRIPTION. In.IS3Swe publislted 10,000 copies, dujinntlie months of Jan. Feb. and March 1839, we increased the list to 13,090, and, had then to reprint three numbers and in- | crease to 15,090. Willi the next volume | wc advanced to 17,000 and we now print 1 ?3,000 copies monthly, Probably the greatest monthly list oi' subscribers in the ?i.J \V U1 ivi. Our reading nfatter is about the same in quantity as any similar production, probably a little in favor of the Book. It would be foolish and false to say that it contains more and the proprietor is not willing to condescend to such means for any supposed advancement of his interest. One advantage the subscribers of this work will have, is its early reception. It v. ill l?o received at the remotest Cities of the Union by the 1st day of the mouth of! i publication. The January and succeeding numbers will bo printed on an entirely new Type oast expressly for the Work and will be found on inspection to be a truly beautiful iettcr, not too siit tl! to be read with ease nor too large to prevent the usual quantity ef rnafer given in each pag".
