In the line of critical notices of new books de-
| ciaed improvement has been made upon the plan Of
the "Phenix and Budget'-and in the way OF stores,
an important reform has been adopted, which vii
abolish the plan OF giving long novels continued pro-
vokingly from number 10 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 unilustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 SO per year for
gle copy-fve copies for IS OO. This is giving about
four pages for one cent

may know how to regulate our issues
The trade will be served at very liberal rates

Of the work widely possible.
