Since the publication of the number Tor
November, the demand for the LADIES' COM
RAMON has been unprecedented and beyond

number of copies were printed, which was
considered at the time adequate to satisfy
all the orders which might be received, and
leave considerable number on hand Tor sub
sequent calls. The publisher Is pore than
gratfied in stating that the whole Of ali edi-
ton of SIX THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDRED coP-
les, was completely exhausted belefe the
issuing of the third number of the volume;
and, consequently, he WAS compelled to
REPRINT Second Edition of Too hous-
and Copies, making the circulation of the
Ladies' Companion Eight thousand foe-
hundred at the termination of the Tenth
Volume.

leled increase of new subscribers, he has
determined to commence the new volume
for the ensuring year, with Thirteen MonS-
and hoping that he will thus be enabled
TO supply all the additional demands for the
Ladies Companion, as well as those disap-
pointed in commencing with the tenth
volume. The proprietor feels grateful for
that encouragement which has been so
4avishly bestowed upon his magazine, and
at the same time he begs to assure the
readers Of the Ladies' Companion that it is
his determined resolution to meet it with il
corresponding liberali,y TO merit its con-
tnuance. The work will appear i'll
