In the line Of critical notices Of new books, de-
claed improvement has been made upon the plane
the " Phenix and Budget"--aDd in the way OF scra,
important reform has been adopted, which VII
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued, a-
vokingy, from number to number
In order to place the work in the hands of such rs
may not feel willing 10 pay the expensive prc-
of monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
TO publish the work at the extremely low pucc
charged for its palmer and unustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be III SO per year for p-
gle copy-hve copies for IS CO. This Is giving about
four pages for one cent.
Ii is desirable to receive orders at once, that we
may know how to regulate issues.
The trade will be served al very liberal rate
extremely anxious as to extend the usciulaes
of the work widely as possible.
