In the line Of critical notices Of new books de-
ciaed improvement has been made upon the plan Of
the "Phenx and Budget"-and in the way Of stories
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 as
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 or its palmer and unilstrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 SO per year for u-
gle copy-ive copies for SIS 90. This is giving about
four pages for one cent
IL 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
