Ipations. ~ the commencement of the volume an
additional number Of copies were printed which was
considered at the time adequate 10 satisfy all the or
ders which might be received ard leave consider
able number on hand for subsequent calls. The
publisher is more than gratfcd in stating that the
whole edition was nearly exhausted before the issu-
| ing Of the seventh number Of the volume and al
this time but very few complete sets remain on
hand TO supply the numerous orders which are dai-
ly received from every section Of the United States.

deDted encouragement extended 10 the Ladies' Com
panon aud at the same time he begs TO assure the
readers Of the magazine and the public in general,
that il is hrs ardent resolution to meet il with cor
responding liberaty on his part to merit its contnu
ance.

as heretofore, continue to be magnificent and far
superior 10 those published in any other magazine
