HENRY +. HARRINGTON,)

Since the publication OF the number for No
vember, the demand for the Ladies' Companion
has been unprecedented, and beyond the most
sanguine anticipations. AT the commencement
of the volume, an additional number OF copies
was printed, which was considered az the time
adequate 20 satisfy all the orders which might
be received and leave a considerable number
on hand for subsequent calls. The Publisher
IS more than gratified in stating that the whole
Of an edition of sir thousand fire hundred CO.
pies was completely exhausted before the issu-
ing Of the third number of the volume; and,
consequently, he was compelled 10 reprint
second edition of two Thousand copies, making
the circulation Of the Ladies Companion sigAf
thousand ipc hundred at the termination Of
the Tenth Volume.
In consequence of this great and unparalleled
increase of new subscribers, he has determined
10 commence the new volume foe tie ensuing
year with thirteen Thousand copies, hoping
that he will thus be enabled 10 supply all the
additional demands for the Ladies' Companion,
as well as those disappointed in commencing
with the tenth volume. The Ladies' Cumpan-
ion contains larger quantity OF reading than
any other magazine issued in this country, and
its subscription price-is only Three Dollars
year; while the great combination ot talent Sc
cured for the ensuing year will render II une-
quoled by any other periodical.
Splendid Steel EngrGrings prepared by Mr..
A. Dick, ornament the woTk-one of which ac-
companies each number. These plates are en-
tirely new, and are engraved at heavy ex-
pense, by one Of the best artists in America,
expressly for the magazine. The designs are
selected with view of interesting the general
reader, and embracing the value of the wofk,
for lis superior pictorial Embellishments. IL -
with pride the proprietor announces that the
Lndies' Companion is the only magazine pub
lished in which new and elegant Steel Plates
appear regularly. Those accompanying other
monthly periodicals are generally worn out IN
ANIMALS.
| In addition 10 the engrayines above meutiOn-
cd, correct plate Of the Quarterly Fashions
for Ladies viii appear in the June, September,
December and March numbers, independent oi
the usual embellishments. IL Is the determine
ton Of the proprietor that these Fashion Plates
shall appear in a style hitherto unknown.
It's Literary Character viii undergo no
change, as it will remain under the charge Of
| the same Editors as heretofore. Articles from
the pens of the most distinguished writers will
appear in the forthcoming numbers
! The Musical Department of the LADIES
| Companion has ever commanded large share
Of attention, and has been looked upon with
no little interest by lis readers, and more sspe-
eia!ls hy jhbr cass. T Viii continue nit 10 be
subject of more than usual care To him, and 20
the Professor under whose supervision il Is
placed, Ia make that portion OF the magazine
deserving OF the countenance of every lover Of
music.
The Work IN General. Over every de-
paItment an equally careful supervision will b.
strictly exercised by the Editors, aud I'll appro-
pirate expenditures will be Literally bestowed,
as il is the design Of the publisher, with the
aid of his contributors, and the advice Of his
friends, 10 make the Ladies' Companion dis
:inguished for the beauty aud accuracy Of It's
typography, the variety and high tone Of is
literary articles, the quality and value Of is
music, the unequaled splendor Of its pictorial
embellishments, and the accuracy Of It's quar-
tcrly fashions. The proprietor pledges him
self 10 use all honorable means TO maintain the
superiority which the Ladies' Companion has
obtained. For five years he has steadily pur-
sued n course Of Improvement, and he faiters
himself that his present facilities are such a TO
] give the Ladies' Companion eminent advanta-
ges over all other publications.
From the foregoing, ii will be perceived that
the LADIES' Companion embraces every depart
ment within the range of Bellies Lectures and the
| Fine Arts; and no exertion or expense will be
deemed too great To render the work equal TO
any other extant. The aattering and general
testimonials of nearly every contemporary jour
nal in the United States, and, in fact, many on
| the other side of the Atlantic, have strongly
asserted the undenable claims Of the Ladies'
Companion, 10 the support of the public gen
orally. There is no work that gives its res-
ders such great return for their money.
| TERNs-Three Dollars a year in advance,
or -Four Dollars during the year. No sub
scription received for less than one year
Letters must be postpaid, otherwise the
postage is deducted, and credit given only Tor
the balance. Address
