Since the publication of the number fer Novem-
Der, the demand for the Ladies Companlon has
been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticipations. At the commencement Of the vol

which was considered at the time adequate TO sa-
tlsiy all the orders which might be received and
leave considerable number on hand Ter subse-
quent calls. The publisher is more than pratiied
iA stating that the whole of an edition OF SIX thou
sand, five hundred copies, was completely eth us-
ted before the issuing OF the third number of the
volume and, consequently, he was conn elied to
reprint second edition OF two thousand copies,
making the circulation OF the Ladies' COMPANION
eight thousand five hundred, at tie Termination of
the tenth volume In consequence of this great
and unparalleled increase of new subscribers. he
has determined to commence tie new volume f.
the ensuing year with thirteen thousand hOplur
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
ume. The proprietor feels grateful for that en-
couragement which has keenso lavishly bestowed
upon his magazine, and at the same time he bocs
to assure the readers of the Ladies COMPANION,
that it is determined resolution to meet 1t with a
corresponding liberality to merit its continuance

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 a year, while the great continuation
of talent secured for the coming year will render
it unequalled by any other periodical.
