ciaed improvement has been made upon the plan OF

an important reform has been adopted, which va
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued, pro
vokingly, from number to number

Of monthly magazines the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unlustrated predeces-or
The price viii therefore be ~ so per year for q
gle copy-fve copies for SIS 90 This is giving about
four pages for one cent
