Godey's Lady's Book,

For September, opens with a very fair engraving by Welch from one of the finest paintings ever done by Sully. It appears in the Magazine as a fancy piece — but the heads are those of his two beautiful and accomplished daughters. How much is lost in the absence of the artist's inimitable color!

Among the contributions we notice “ The Cheap Dress,” a very well narrated tale by Mrs. Annan. Mr. Simms has a Mesmeric Sketch, rather overstrained. Mrs. Hale and F.E.F. contribute to the number, which ends with a wood engraving from a sketch drawn by C.R. Leslie in the album of John Howard Payne. Mr. Godey maintains and will maintain his ground.
