In the line Of critical notices of new books, de-
ciaed improvement has been made upon the plan OF
the "Phenix and Budgct'-and in the way of stories
an important reform has been adopted, which vii
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 uniustraed predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 SO per year for sim
gle copy-fve copies for IS 20. 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 TO extend the usefulness
OF the work as widely possible.
