To the Ladies of Georgia anil to the Sml generally, the following plan is most re spectJulLy submitted. It is hoped lhal it will receive Iheii serious attention, uric, meet their approbation, since it is for their especial benefit that the work is projected. PROSPECTUS. In submitting the following plan, we would first call the attention of the Ladies, tud all those who feel interested w ho ■re those that do not ?) in the welfare and .mprovemeut of the female sex, to tiie pre ent condition oftne Southern Press. Near y all the publications which issue from t are engaged in its political discus sions, and their columns teem with accusa tions, denials, abuse, and every oilier form of wordy warfare—carried on in language, frequently unfit for “ears polite,’’ and seldom suited to tiie delicacy aud gentleness which belong so peculiarly to the Female charac ter. Os the few literary papers published South of the Potomac, there is notomk exclusive ly dedicated to the LADIES! We have felt this as a want which ought to be sup plied ; aud we propose to make an ellbrt to do so, confident that our endeavors will be crowned with success, if we can ouly secure the hearty co-operation of those for whose welfare we are about to tabor—The Ladies ofthe South. And we expect, further, tbai every intelligent uuud among the other sex, will view with approbation, and aid in sus taining, an enterprise designed to improve the minds of those, without whose cliecrinc smiles and southing companiunsuip, Ine would be dreary and this fair world a desi rt. We wish also to afford to tiie Ladies a field for t.ie exercise of their own talents, and for the devidopeuient of the resources us their minds. The list of authors for some years past, have frequently euroled the names of Females whose glorious success lias shed an additional rau.auc" on the name ol “Wo ms.' 1 i’lie “lords ol creation’’ have been forced to acknowledge that the Female mind is, by no means, detucieut in capacity aud intellectual endowments, whilst, at the same time, it is possessed of superior delicacy and met. Long was Woman's mind field in tfiruidoiu, long were her powers uuderr;t*ed, and forced to run aia inactive or unc.xercised hy the lorce oi conventional arrangements ; out her chains are kronen, and her liberty has been proclaimed. The article of Mos lem faint, that •• Women have iu souls,” no longer obtains among us.. Let the Ladies now assert their own privileges, and we oi ler them, in our proposed work, a medium for the expression of iheir own views and sentiments, on ail that appertains, in any de gree, to the welfare ami improvement of their sex. In offering the plan of a SOUTHERN LADIES, BOOK, we do not intend that it shall he precisely similar to a work of like name, at the North. We leave to our Nor thern cotemporary pictorial representations of fashion aud dress, for the embelli diment of their person ; be it ours to provide a garb of purity, elegance, lefinement and grace, for the adornment of the mind. All that may contribute to form the heart, invigorate the mind, purify tiie affections, and reliue the manners, sliall be our especi al care, that our work may be a useful aid to the young, and fail, and beautiful, in pre paring themselves for the discharge of tiie noble and arduous duties which devolve on Woman, in her varied capacity of Daughter, Wife A Mother, And we iepeai tint in tiie accomplishment of this high enterprise, we confidently expect the aid and support ofen lightened and judicious of both sexes. Ar rangements for regular aid will be made with several Ladies, whose productions have already gained them high fa*»e in the litera ry world—-and several gentlemen of distin guished attainments have already been se cured as from whom scientif ic tracts, with notes, and observation* on the arts, may be expected. This depart ment of the work will receive marked alien tion. In short, nothing will be omitted which may tend to give the publication such character.as will render it worthy the atten tion of tiie learned, and those to whom it is dedicated— 'lhe La tits of the South and IVest. it only remains to obtain she requis lie number ol subscriber*-—»ay two thou sand * and if the Ladies will smile upon, ,md aid our efforts, that number will not long be wanting. Let them urge their Fath ers, Husband, Brothers, and friends, and it is soon done.
