In the line Of critical notices Of new books, de-
cued 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-
vokingly, from number to number.
In order TO place the work in the hands of such
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 unustrated predecessor.
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for a sim
gle copy-fve copies for So CO. This is giving about
four pages for one cent

may know how to regulate our issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious to extend the useiuiness
OF the work widely possible.
