THE Ladies' Companion, established in May,
la34--a popular and highly esteemed magazine vi
General Literature and the Fine Arts, einbeliish
with gorgeous and costly engraylngS 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 I!as been
unprecedented and beyond the most sanguinc
anticipations. At the commencement Of the vol
ume an additional number of copies were printed,
Which was considered at the time adequate to sa-
usiy all the orders which might be received, and
leaVe considerable number on hand 1or suose-
quent calls. The publisher is more than gratlhed
IN stating that the whole of an edition of SIX thou
sand, nVe 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 i've hundred, at the termination of
the tenth volume. In consequence Of this great
and unparalleled Increase Of new subscribers, he
has determined 10 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
ume. The proprietor feels grateful ior that en-
couraeement Which has teens 50 lavishly bestowed
upon his magazine, and at the SAME time lie begS
to assure the readers of the Ladies Companion,
that it is determined resolution 10 meet 1t with
corresponding liberaty 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 guam
tty 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.
