THE Ladies Companion, established in May
lS34-a popular and highly esteemed magazine OF
General Literature and the Fine Arts; embelllsh
with gorgeous and costly engravingS on steel, and
the Quarterly fashions and also with Fashona-
bic and popular Music, arranged for the Piano
Forte, and Guitar.
Since the publication of the number for May,
the demand for the Ladies' Companion has been
unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticipations. 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 Tor su0se-
quent calls The publisher is more than gratlied
III 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 TINS 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 we'll as those
ume. The proprietor feels grateful tor that en-
couragement which has beenso lavishly bestowed
upon his magazine, and at the same time he begs
to assure the readers of the Ladies Companion,

corresponding hberahty to merit its continuance.

on the finest paper; smoothly pressed, and neatly
stitched in handsome cover.
The Ladies Companion contains larger quan-
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 unequaled by any other periodical
