THE Ladies' Companion, established in May,
] ls34-a popular and highly esteemed magazine OF
General Literature and the Fine Arts; embellish
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 Nav
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 considerable number on hand Tor subse-
quent calls. The publisher is more than gratltled
in stating that the whole OF an edition OF SIX thou
sand, five hundred copies, was completely exilaus-
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 enabled to supply all the de-
mands for the Ladies' Companion, as well as those
disappointed IN commencing with the tenth vol
couragement which has beenso lavishly bestowed
upon his magazine, and at the same time he begs
to assure the readers of the Ladies' Companion,
that 1t is determined resolution TO meet it with
corresponding hberality to merit its continuance.
The work appears IN beautiful new type, printed
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 unequalled by any other periodical
