In the line Of critical notices Of new books, de-
cided 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 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 AZ
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 unillustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 80 per year for sl
gle copy--iye copies for IS 90. This is giving about
four pages for one cent
| 1t 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 to extend the usefulness
of the work widely as possible.
