Il HE Ladies' Companion, established IN May
1854 popular and highly esteemed magazine Of
General Literature and the Inc Arts; enioeli-Sh
with gorgeous and costly engravlngs on steel, and
the Quarterly fashions and also with Fashona-
BILE and popular Music, arranged for the Piano
Forte, and Guitar.
Since the publication of the number for Novem-
her. the demand for the Ladies' Companion has
been unprecedented and beyond the most sangune
authorizations At the commencement of the vol
ume an additional number of copies were printed,
which was considered at the time adequate to sa-
tisfy all the orders which might be received, and
leave a considerable number on hand for subSe-
ouent calls. The publisher is more than grathed
iB stating that the whole of edition of six thou
sand, five hundred copies, was completely exhauS-
ted before the issuing of the third number OF the
volume and, consequently, he was compelled to
reprint second edition of two thousand copies,
making the circulation of the Ladies' Companion
eight thousand five hundred at the termination of
the tenth volume. In consequence of this great
and unparalleled increase of new subscribers, he
has determined TO commence the new volume for
the ensuing wear with thirteen thousand hoping
that he will thus be enabled TO supply all the de-
maudS for the Ladies Companion as we'll as those
disappointed IN commencing with the tenth vol
ume. The proprietor feels grateful for that en-
upon his magazine, and at the time he begs
to assure the readers of the Ladies Companion,
that it is determined resolution to meet il with a
corresponding liberality to merit its continuance
The work appears in beautiful new type, printed
on the finest paper; smoothly pressed, and neatly
stitched in handsome cover.
The Ladies' Companion contains larger guam
titY of reading than any other magazine issued in
in this country, and its subscription price is only
three dollars year, while the great combination
of talent secured for the coming year will render
it unequalled by any other periodical.
Splendid Steel EagrGrngS prepared by Mr.. A.
Dick ornament the work-one OF which accompa-
MES each number. These plates are entirely new,
and are engraved at heavy expense by one oithe
best arstists in America, expressly for the maga-
zine. The designs are selected with a view of in
terestng the general reader, and enhancing the
value of the work. for ifs superior pictorial embel
ishments. II is with pride the proprietor announ-
ces that the Ladies Companion is the only maya
zine published, in which new and elegant s:ee
plates appear regularly. Those accompanying
other monthly periodicals. are generally tirstworn
out in ANNALS. In addition to the engravings
mentioned, a correct plate of the Quarterly Fash
ions for Ladies. will appear in the June, Septem-
Der, December and March numbers, independent
