General Literature and the Fine Arts; embelhsh
with gorgeous and costly engravings on STEEL and
the Quarterly fashions and also with Fashiona-
bic and popular Music, arranged for the PIANO.
Forte, and Guitar.

which was considered at the time adequate to sa-

leave a considerable number on hand tor subse-

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 CT
the tenth volume In consequence OF this great
and unparalleled increase OF new subscribers, he
has determined to commence the new volume tor
the ensuing year with thirteen thousand hoping
that he will thus be enabled to supply all the de-
mands for the Ladies Companion as well as those
disappointed in commencing with the tenth vol

that it is determined resolution to meet 1t with a
corresponding lberality to merit its continuance.
The work appears in beautiful new type, printed
on the finest paper smoothly pressed, and neatly
stitched in handsome cover.
