In the line of critical notices of new book, a de-
cided 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 viii
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 g.,
may not feel willing to pay the expensive price,
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low lapt
charged for its palmer and unillusraed predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for SIM
gle copy-fye copies for So CO. This is giving about
four pages for one cent
! 1t is desirable to receive orders at once that We
i may know how to regulate our issues.
1 The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious as we are to extend the usefulness
Of the work widely possible.
