In the line of critical notices Of new books, a de
ciaed improvement has been made upon the plan OF
the g. henix and Budget'-and in the way Of storio
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
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 unilustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for sin
gle copy-fve copies for SIS 90. This is giving about
four pages for cent
Ii 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 useiulnes,
of the work widely as possible.
