In the line of critical notices of new books de-
ciGed improvement has been made upon the plan OF
the Phenix and Budget''-and in the way of store,
an important reform has been adopted, which vii
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro-
vokingy, from number 10 number.
In order TO place the work in the hands of such as
may not feel willing to pay the expensive prices
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
TO publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unillustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for sim
gle copyfve copies for SIS 90. This is giving about
four pages for one cent
Ii is desirable to receive orders at once, that We
may know how to regulate our issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rate
extremely anxious are to extend the useiulne,
of the work as widely as possible
