bic and popular Music, arranged for the Piano
I Forte, and Guitar
Since the publication of the number for Nav,
! the demand for the Ladies' Companion has been
Unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticpations At the commencement of the vol
ume an additional number OF copies were printed,
which was considered at the time adequate to
! tisfy all the orders which might be received, and
leave a considerable number on hand for subse-
quent calls The publisher IS more than gratlhed
rs 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, lie was compelled to
reprint a second edition Of two thousand copies,
making the circulation Of the Ladies' Companion
eight thousand 1--WE hundred, at the termination of
the tenth volume In consequence of this great
and unparalleled Increase of new subscribers, ne
has determined 10 commence the new volume tor
| the ensuing year with thirteen thousand: hoping
that he Will thus he enabled 10 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-
couragemeEt which has been SO layishly bestowed
upon his magazine, and at the same time he begs
to assure the readers OF the Ladies Companion,
that it is determined resolution to meet it with
corresponding hberali,y to merit its continuance.
The work appears IN beautiful new type, printed
on tie hneSt paper SuloOtIlly pIesSeu, duu 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 viii render
it unequalled by any other periodical.

The Musical Department of the Ladies' Conpa-
nion 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. 1t
will continue to be a subject of more than usual
care to him, and to the Professor under whose su-
pervsion it is placed, to make that portion of the
magazine deserving OF the countenance of every
lover of music.
Tae Work in General Of every department an
equally careful supervision will be strictly exer-
csed by the Editors, and all appropriate expeAui-
lures will be literally bestowed, as it is the de-
sign of the publisher, with the aid of his conribu
tors and the advice of his friends to make the La
dies Companion distinguished for the beauty and
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 mantainthe superiori-
y which the Ladies' Companion has obtained -
For five years he has steadily pursued course of
improvement, and he fatters himself that his pre-
sent facilities are such as to give the work eminent
advantages over ali other publications
From the foregoing it will be perceived that The
Ladies' Companion embraces every department
within the range of Bellies Letres and the Fine
Arts: and no exertions or expense will be deemed
TOO great to render the work equal to any other
extant. The flattering and general testimonials
oi nearly every contemporary journal in the United
States, and in fact, many the other side OF the
Atlantic, have strongly asserted the undcniable
claims of tho Ladies' Companion to the support of
he public generally. There is no wsrk that give
rs readers such great return for their money
