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
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 for its palmer and unlstrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for SIN
gle copy-Gve 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 issues
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious to extend the useiulness
of the work as widely possible.
