In the line of critical notices of new books, de-
cued improvement has been made upon the plan of
the "Phenix and Budgeth-and in the way of stories,
~ important reform has been adopted, which will
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 more expensive prices
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unilusrated predecessor
The price will therefore be al so per year for sin
gle copy-fve copies for IS co. This is giving about
four pages for cent
1t is desirable to receive orders at once, that We
may know how to regulate issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious to extend the usefulness
of the work as widely possible.
