magazine OF General Literature and the Fine
Arts; embellished with gorgeous and costly
engrayings on Steel, and the Qua,teiiy Fash
ions; and also with Fashionable and Popula,
Music, arranged for the Piano Forte, Harp and
Guitar.
since the publication OF the number for No
vember, the demand for the LADIES' COM
fANlON has been Unprecedented and beyond
the most sanguine anticipations. AT the com
Imencement of the volume an additional number
OF copies were printed, which was considered
at the time adequate 10 satisfy all the orders
which might be received, aud leave consider
able number on hand for subsequent calls
The publisher is more than gratitied in stating
that the whole of an edition of SIX THOU
SAND, FIVE HUNDRED COPIES, was
completely exhausted before the issuing of the
third number of the volume; and consequent
ly, he was compelled to REPRINT Second r.
dltion OF TWO THOUSAND COPIES, max
ing the circulation OF the Ladies' Companion
EIGHT THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED,
AT the termination of the Tenth Tolume.
In consequence ofthis great aud unparalleled
increase of new subscribers, he has determined
10 commence the new volume for the ensuing
year, with THIRTEEN THOUSAND: ho-
ping that he will thus be enabled TO supply all
the additional demands for the Ladies' Compdn-
ION, as well as those disappointed in commenc-
ing with the tenth volume. The proprietor
feels grateful for that encouragement which
has been so lavishly bestowed upon his maya
zine, and at the same time he begs to assure
the readers Of the Ladies' Companion, tha, il is
his determined resolution 10 meet il with cor
responding liberaliiy TO merit its continuance.

and neatly stitched in handsome cover.
The Ladies' Companion contains a larger
quantity Of reading than any other magazine
issued in this country, and its subscription price
is only three dollars a gear, while the great
combination of talent secured for the coming
year will rosder it unequalled by any other pc
riodical.
