anticipatons. At the commencement Of the vol

tisfy all the orders which might be received, and
leave a considerable number on hand for subse-
quent calls. The publisher IS more than gratifed
h stating that tie whole OF an edition OF SIX thou
Sano' nVe hundred copies, was completely eXhaus-
Tea before the Issuing of the third number of the
volume; and, consequently, he was compelled TO
reprint a 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 far
