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 storie,
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 feel willing to pay the expensive price,
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 III SO per year for sin
gle copy-fye copies for IS 90. This is giving about
four pages for one 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 widely possible.
