PETERSON'S MAGAZINE.

The Cheapest, Best & Most Popular Ladies' Magazine in the World.

EDITED BY
MRS. ANN. S. STEPHENS and CHAS. J. PETERSON.

Peterson's Ladies' National Magazine, contains about 800 pages of double column,
Original Matter yearly; from 30 to 40 costly Steel Plates; and nearly 300 Wood Engravings.

ITS LITERARY CHARACTER UNRIVALLED.

No other Periodical publishes such Thrilling Tales or such capital Stories of Real Life,
the most eminent American writers in this department being engaged to contribute to
its pages, most of them exclusively. At their head is Mrs. Ann S. Stephens, whose Romances
are unequalled in power and beauty. Morality and virtue are always inculcated.
The Newspaper Press and the Ladies unite to pronounce this the most readable
of the Magazines. It is also the only original one of its class,—the only one thoroughly
American.

ITS MAGNIFICENT AND UNEQUALLED EMBELLISHMENTS.

Its Illustrations excel those of any other Magazine, each number countaining one or
more Steel Engravings, either Mezzotint or Line, besides the Fashion Plate; and, in
addition, numerous Wood Cuts. The Publisher pays the highest prices to have the very
best Engravings. The Engravings at the end of the year, alone are worth the subscription
price.

ITS COLORED FASHION PLATES IN ADVANCE.

☞ It is the only Magazine whose Fashion Plates can be relied on. ☞

These Plates are engraved on Steel, by first-rate artists, from patterns received in advance,
all colored, a la mode. A comparison between this Magazine and others, in this
respect, is challenged. The “Gossip about the Fashions,” published in each number,
is fuller, better, and later, than can be had elsewhere at any price. In the Eastern cities
this work is universally held to be the text-book of fashion.

BEST LADIES' MAGAZINE IN THE WORLD.

In addition, each number contains every thing that a Lady desires in such a Parlor
Companion. Its departments for New Receipts, Crotchet Work. Embroidery, Netting,
Horticulture, and Female Equestrianism, are always well filled, profusely Illustrated,
and rich with the latest Novelties. The Publisher offers it to the sex as the best Lady's
Magazine in the World; and only asks a trial of its merits for one year.
