In the line of critical notices of new books, de-
cided 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 viii
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued pro-
vokingy, 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 unustrated predecessor.
The price will therefore be 81 50 per year for SIN
gle copy--ive copies for So CO. This is giving about
four pages for cent
1t is desirable to receive orders at once, that
may know how to regulate our issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious we are to extend the usefulness
of the work widely as possible.
