sand, i've hundred copies, was completely exhaus-
ted before the issuing of the third number OF the
volume; and, consequently. he was compelled 10

making the circulation of the Ladies' Companion
eight thousand i've 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 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 er-
couraoenent which has been so layshly 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 liberality to merit Its 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
ttY 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 VIII render
it unequalled by any other periodical.

Dick, ornament the work-one of which accompa-
MES each number These plates are entirely new,
and are engraved at heavy expense by one ofthe
best arststs in America, expressly for the maga-
zine The designs are selected with 4 view ofin-
teresting the general reader, and enhancing the

MON has ever commanded large share of atten-
ton, and has been looked upon with no little in
terest by its readers, ard especially the La
