In the line OF critical notices of new books, de-
Glued Improvement has been made upon the OF
the "Phenix and Budget'-and i'll the way OF ST rles,
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 in the hands Of such as
may not feel willing TO pay the more expensive prices
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 30 per year for SIN
gle copyfve copies for So 90. This Is giving about
four pages for one cent
1t rs desirable to receive orders at once that
may know how to regulate issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rates -
extremely anxious we are TO extend the usefulness
of the work as widely possible
