LADIES' COMPANION
New Volume commenced with the Mav Number.
The Ladies' Companion, established in May.
834 a popular and highly esteemed magazine of
General Literature and the Fine Arts : embellish-
with gorgeous and costly engravings on steel, and
the tjuarterly lashions ; and also with Fashiona
ble and popular Music, arranged for the Piano
la orte, and (juitar.
Since the .publication of the number for Novem
ber, the demand for the Ladies' Companion has
been unprecedented and beyond the most sanguine
anticipations. At the commencement of the vol
ume an additional number ot copies were printed,
which was considered'at the time adequate to sa
tisfy all the orders which might be received, and
eave a considerable number on hand for subse
quent calls: The publisher is more than gratified
in stating that the whole of an edition of six thou
sand, five hundred copies, was completely exhaus
ted foclore the issuing ot the third number of the
volume ; and, consequently, he was compelled to
reprint a second edition of two thousand copies,
making the circulation ot .the ladies' Companion
eight thousand five hundred, at the termination of amine his stock before purchasing elsewhere.

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 bo 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 tjrateful for that en
couragement which has Lecnso lavishly bestowed
upon his magazine, and at the same tune he begs
to assure the readers ol the Ladies Companion,
that it is determined resolution to meet it with a
corresponding liberality to merit its continuance.
The work appears in beautiful new type, printed
on the finest paper : smoothly pressed, and neatly
stitched in a handsome cover.
The Ladies' Companion contains a larger quan
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 Engravings, prepared by Mr. A.
Dick, ornament the work one of which accompa
nies each number. These plates are entirely new,
and are engraved at a heavy expense by one of the
best arstists in America, expressly for the maga
zine. The designs are selected with a view of in
teresting the general reader, and enhancing the
value of the work, for its superior pictoral embel
lishments. It 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 firstworn
out in annuals. In addition to the engravings
mentioned, a correct plate of the Quarterly Fash
ions for Ladies4 will appear in the June, Septem
ber, December, and March numbers, independent
of the usual embellishment. It is the determina
tion of the proprietor, that these fashion plates
shall appear in a style hitherto unknown. It lite
rary character will undergo no change, as it will
remain under the charge of the same Jiiditors as
heretofore. Articles Irom the pens ot the most
distinguished writers, will appear in the forthcom
ing numbers, among which may be enumerated the
following: Mrs. Holland, Jiimma U. Embury,
Iydia H. Sigourncy, Frances S. Osgood,
Eliot, Caroline Orne. Seba fcmith, Mrs. llarnng-
