In the line of critical notices of books de-
cioed improvement has been made upon the plan Of
the " Phenix and Budget'-and in the way Of stories
an important reform has been adopted, which will
abolish the plan OF giving long novels continued, pro-
vokingy, from number to number
In order to place the work in the hands of such
may not feel willing 10 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 unlustrated predecessor
The price viii therefore be 81 80 per year for
gle copy-fve copies for So 90. This is 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 as we are to extend the usefulness
of the work as widely possible.
