The Musical Department Of the Ladies' Compa-
Mon has ever commanded large share of atten-
tion and has been looked upon with no little in
terest by its readers and more especially the La
dies, whom the publisher is anxious to please. 1t
will continue to be subject of more than usual
care to him, and to the Professor under whose su-
pervsion it is placed, to make that portion of the
magazine deserving of the countenance of every
lover of music.
Tae Work IN General Ofevery department an
equally careful supervision will be strictly exer-
cised by the Editors, and all appropriate expeAGi-
lures will be literally bestowed, as it is the de-
sign of the publisher with the aid of his contrbu-
tors and the advice of his friends to make the La
dies Companion distinguished for the beauty and
accuracy of its Typography. the variety and high
tone of its literary articles, the quality and value
of its music, and the unequal splendor of its pic
toral embellishments, and the accuracy of its quar-
terly fashions. The proprietor pledges himself to
use all honorable means to maintainthe superiori-
ty which the Ladies' Companion has obtamed.-
For five years he has steadily pursued course of
improvement, and he fatters himself that his pre-
sent facilities such as give the work eminent
advantages over ali other publications
From the foregoing it will be perceived that the
Ladies' Companion embraces every department
within the range of Belles-Lettres and the Fine
Arts: and no exertions or expense will be deemed
too great to render the work equal 10 any other
extant The fattering and general testimonials
of nearly every contemporary journal in the United
States, and in fact many on the other side of the
Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undeniable
claims of the Ladies' Companion to the support of
the public generally. There is no work that gives
its readers such great return for their money.
