In the line of critical notices of new books de-
ciaed improvement has been made upon the plan Of
the " Phenix and Budgetn-and in the way Of stories
an important reform has been adopted which will
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro
yokingly from number to number.
In order to place the work III the hands Of such as
may not feel willing to pay the more expensive price
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unustrated predecessor
The price viii therefore be 81 so per year for sin
gle copy-fye copies for SIS 90, This is giving about
-four pages for one cent
II is desirable to receive orders al once, that We
may know how TO regulate our issues
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious as we are to extend the usefune
Of the work as widely as possible.
