In the line of critical notices Of new books, de-
cided improvement has been made upon the plan of
the "Phanix and Budget'-and in the way of stories,
an important reform has been adopted, which win
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 unustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 so per year for
gle copy-6ve copies for Us co. This is giving about
four pages for one cent.
1t is desirable to receive orders at once, that we
may know how to regulate our issues.
& The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious are to extend the usefulness
of the work as widely as possible.
