Since the publication Of the number Tor Nav
! the demand for the Ladies Companion has. been
unprecedented and beyond the most sancujns
anticipatons. At the commencement of the vol
ume an additional number OF copies were printed
which was considered at the time adequate 10 sa-
| tlsty all the orders which might be received anI
| leave a considerable number on hand for subsa-
quent calls. The publisher is more than gratifed
In stating that the whole of an edition OF SIX thou
SAND, hve hundred copies, was completely exhaus-
tea before the issuing of the third number Of the
voiume and, consequently he was compelled to
reprint second edition of two thousand comics
making the circulation of the Ladies' Companion
| elght Thousand tive hundred at the termination of
! the tehtn 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 hopinr
that ne VIII mus De enabled TO supply all the de-
mands for the Ladies' Companion as well as tlosf.
disappointed in commencing with the tenth vol
ume. The proprietor feels grateful for that en-
couragement which has been 50 lavishly bestowed
upon his magazine, and at tie same time he begs
to assure the readers of the Ladies COMPANION
that it is determined resolution to meet it with a
corresponding hberallty to merit It's 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 auan-
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 wear viii render
it unequalled by any other periodical.
Splead'd Steel Engrarings, prepared by Mr.. A.
Dick, ornament the work-one of which accompa-
nies each number. These plates are entirely new,
and are engraved at heavy expense bv one ofthe
best arstists in America, expressly for the maga-
zine. The designs are selected with view ofin-
teresting the general reader, and enhancing the
value of the work, for It's superior pictorial embeI
lishments. 1t is with pride the proprietor announ-
ces that the Ladies' Companion is the only maya
zine published, in which new and elegant steel
plates appear regularly. Those accompanying
other monthly periodicals, are generally frstworn
cut in ANNALS. In addition to the engravines
mentioned, correct plate of the Quarterly Fash
ions for Ladies' will appear in the June, Septem-
Der, December, and March numbers, independent
of the usual establishment. 1t is the determine
tion of the proprietor, that these fashion plates
shall appear in style hitherto unknown. Il lite

The Musical Department of the Ladies Conpa-.
Mon has ever commanded large share of atten-
ton, 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 IL

care to him, and to the Professor under whose su-
pervision it placed, to make that portion of the
magazine deserving of the countenance of everv

Arts; and no exertions or expense will be deemed
