IL HE Ladies' Companion. established in May.
1854 popular and highly esteemed magazine of
General Literature and the Fine Arts; embeliish-
with gorgeous and costly engrayings on steel, and
the Quarterly fashions; and also with Fashiona-
BILE and popular Music, arranged for the Piano
Forte, and Guitar.
Since the publication of the number for Novem-
Der, the demand for the Ladies' Companion has
been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
antlcipations. 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-
quent calls The publisher is more than oratfed
in stating that the whole of an 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 year with thirteen thousand hoping
that he will thus be er abled to supply all the de-
mands for the Ladies' Companion, as we'll as those
disappointed in commencing with the tenth vol
ume. The proprietor feels grateful for that en-
couragement which has beenso lavishly bestowed
|
to assure the readers of the Ladies' Companion,
that it is determined resolution to meet it with
corresponding lberaL,y to merit its continuance
The work appears in beautiful new type, printed
on the tlnest paper; smoothly pressed, and neatly
stitched in handsome cover.
The Ladies' Companion contains larger auan-
/ ttY 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 viii render
1t unequalled by any other periodical.
Splendid Steel Engraphgs, 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 ofthe
best arstists in America, expressly for the maya
zine. The designs are selected with view of in
teresting the general reader, and enhancing the
value of the work, for its superior pictorial embe-
lishments. 1t is with pride the proprietor announ-
ces that the Ladies' Companion is the only maga-
zine published, in which new and elegant steel
plates appear regularly Those accompanying
other monthly periodicals, are generally frstworn
out in ANIMALS. In addition to the engravngs
mentioned, a correct plate of the Quarterly Fash
ions for Ladies, viii appear in the June, Septem-
Der, December, and March numbers, independent
of the usual establishment. 1t is the determina-
ton of the proprietor, that these fashion plates
shall appear in style hitherto unknown. 1t lite
rary character will undergo no change, as it will
remain under the charge of the same Editors as
heretofore. Articles from the pens of the most
distinguished writer's, will appear in the forthcom-
ing numbers, among which may be enumerated the
