In the line of critical notices of new books, a a.
cided Improvement has been made upon the plan ii
the Phenix and Budget"-and in the way of storie,
an important reform has been adopted, which will
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro

In order to place the work in the hands OF such a,
may not feel willing to pay the more expensive price
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unilustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for SIN
gle copy-iye copies for IS 90. This giving about
four pages for one cent!
1t is desirable to receive orders at once, that We
may know how to regulate our issues
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious we are to extend the usefulness
of the work as widely as possible.
