Since the publication Of the number f.r May,
the demand for the Ladies Companion has been
unprecedented and beyond the most sargdine
anticpations. At the commencement OF the Vol-
ume additional number Of copies were printed,
which was considered at the time adequate to sa-
tlsfy ali the orders which might be received, ana
leave a considerable number on hand Tor subse-
quent calls. Tie publisher is more than gratlfled
lh stating that the whole of an edition OF six thou
SAND, i've hundred copies, was completely exhaus-
ted before the issuing of the third number OF the
volume; and, consequently he 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 hopiug
that he will thus be enabled 10 supply all the de-
mands for the Ladies Companion, as we'll as thosa
disappointed in commencing with tie tenth vol
ume. The proprietor feels grateful for thai en-
couragement which has beenso lavshly bestowed
upon his magazine, and at the time lie begs
to assure the readers of the Ladies Companion,
that it is determined resolution TO meet it with
corresponding iberality 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 guam
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.
! Splendid Steel EngrdUtngs, prepared by Mr.. 4.
Dick, ornament the work-one of which accomPa-
nies each number. These plates entirely new,
and are engraved at heavy expense by ofthe
best arstists in America, expressly for the maga-
zine. The designs are selected with view CT IN
terestng the general reader, and enhancing ths
value of the work, for its superior pictorial enbel-
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 fIstwor
out in ANIMALS. In addition to the engravings
mentioned, correct plate of the Quarterly Fash
| ions for Ladies' will appear IN the June SepeTD-
| Der, December. and March numbers, independent
| of the usual establishment. 1t is the detemra-
ton of the proprietor, that these fashion plates
shall appear in a style hitherto unknown. Il lie
rary character will undergo no change, as ii viii
remain under the charge of the same Editors
heretofore. Articles from the pens OF the rnoSl
distinguished writer's will appear in the toTthCoIr
ing numbers, among which may be enumerated tho

! The Musical Department of the Ladies' Conlpa-
Mon has ever commanded large share of atten-
ton, and has been looked upon with no little in
terest by its readers, and 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 SUI
pervsion it is placed, to make that portion of the
magazine deserving of the countenance of every
lover of music.
i Tae Work tn General Of every department an
equally careful supervision will be strictly exer-
csed by the Editors, and all appropriate expeLdi-
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 obtained
For five years he has steadily pursued course of
improvement, and he flatters himself that his pre-
! g n amin ont
advantages over ali other publications.
From the foregoing it will be perceived tha. the
Ladies Companion embraces every departmen;
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 fattering and general testimonalS
OF nearly every contemporary journal in the United
States and in fact, many on the other side OF tle
/ Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undenaL!s
claims of the Ladies' Companion to the support
the public generally. There is no wsrk that ST..
its readers such great return for their money
