In the line Of critical notices Of new books, de-
ciued 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 will
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 more expensive prices
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
10 publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 80 per year for sin
gle copy-ve copies for 50 90. This Is giving about
four pages for one cent
Ii is desirable to receive orders at once, that we
NAV know how to regulate our issues
The trade will be served al very liberal rates
extremely anxious are to extend the usefulness
of the work as widely possible.
