In the line of critical notices Of new books, de-
Glued improvement has been made upon the plan OF
the |" Phenix 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 as
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 unllustratcd predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for sin
gle copy-fve copies for IS 90. This giving about
| four pages for cent!
1t is desirable to receive orders once, that we
| may know how to regulate issues
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious as to extend the usefulness
| of the work as widely possible
