In the line of critical notices of new books, de-
Glued improvement has been made upon the plan of
the "Phenix and Budget'-and in the way of stories,
important reform has been adopted, which will
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro-
vokingly, from number to number.
In order to place the work in the hands of such as
may not feel willing to pay the more 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 copy-fve copies for IS 90. This is giving about
four pages for one cent
1t is desirable to receive orders at once that
may know how to regulate our issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious are to extend the usefulness
of the work as widely as possible.
