The steel engravings of Godey have, for some years past, been the best published in any of the magazines. They are truly artistic in conception, well engraved, and well printed. The larger portions of those published in the magazines are from old worn out English plates, or engraved by the boys in the engraver's employ. The larger part of the latter are horrible abortions, badly drawn and executed; withal, in these days of puffing, they receive as great commendation from the press as the most elegant in design and execution.-Commonwealth, Frankfort.

Edited with distinguished ability, published promptly, and ever what it professes to be, the Lady's Book stands to-day the pioneer of magazine literature.-Citizen, Vergennes.

It certainly is the best ladies' book published in America. When we say this we do not mean it as a puff, but feel and believe just what we say.-Flag, Lexington.
