In the line of critical notices Of new books, a de-
ciued improvement has been made upon the plan Of

an important reform has been adopted which will
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro-
yoklngy, from number TO number,
In order to place the work in the hands of such a,
may not feel willing to pay the expensive price
Of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and uniusraed predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for SIM
gle copy-fve copies for So CO. This is giving about
four pages for cent!
1t is desirable to receive orders at once, that N.

The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious to extend the usefulness
of the work widely as possible
