Since the publication of the nurI1cer Tor May,
the demand for the Ladies' Companion has oeen
unprecedented and beyond the most sanguinc
anticpations At the commencement Of the vol
ume an additional number of copies were printed,
which 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
h stating that the whole of an edition OF SIX thou
sand, hve 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 hive 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 for that en-
couraCement which has been so lavishly bestowed
upon his magazine, and at the same time he begs
to assure the readers of the Ladies Companion,
that it is determined resolution 10 meet Ii with
corresponding liberai,y to merit lis 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
tity of reading than any other magazine issued in
in this country, and its subscription price is only
three dollars a year, while the great combination
of talent secured for the coming year will render
it unequalled by any other periodical.
Splendid Steel EngrGUtngs, prepared by Mr.. A.
Dick ornament the work-one of which accompa-
nes each number. These plates entirely new,
and are engraved at heavy expense by one OF the
best arstists in America, expressly for the maga-
zine. The designs are selected with view OF in
teresting the general reader, and enhancing the
value of the work, for its SuperiOrpictoral embel-
lishments 1t is with pride the proprietor announ-
ces that the Ladies Companion Is the only maga-
zine published, in which new and elegant steel
plates appear regularly. Those accompanying
other monthly periodicals, are generally tlIstworn
out in ANNALS. In addition to the engravings
mentioned, correct plate of the Quarterly Fash
ions for Ladies, will appear in the June, Septem-
| ber December, and March numbers, independent
! of the usual establishment. 1t is the dererInna-
ton of the proprietor, that these fashion plates
shall appear in a style hitherto unknown. IT Ile-
rary character will undergo no change, as II viii

| The Musical Department of the Ladies' Conpa-
Mon has ever commanded a 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 a subject of more than usual
care to him, and to the Professor under whose su-
pervision it is placed to make that portion of the
magazine deserving of the countenance of every
lover of music.
Tde Work in General OF every department an
equally careful supervision will be strictly exer-
cised by the Editors, and all appropriate expe-ci-
lures will be literally bestowed, as it is the de-
sign of the publisher with the aid of his contribu-
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 spendor of its pic
toral embellishments, and the accuracy of its quar-
tery fashions. The proprietor pledges himself to
use all honorable means to maintainthe SUPERIOR
ty which the Ladies' Companion has obtained
For five years he has steadily pursued course OF
improvement, and he flatters himself that his pre-
sent facilities are such as to give the work eminen;
advantages over ali other publications
From the foregoing it will be perceived that the
Ladies Companion embraces every department
within the range Of Bellies -Lettres and the Fine
Arts and no exertions or expense will be deemed
too great to render the work equal TO any other
extant. The fiattering and general testimonials
of nearly every contemporary journal in the United
States, and in fact, many on the other side of the
j Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undcniable
claims of the Ladies' Companion to the supper, ii
