In the line of critical notices of books, de-
| Glued improvement has been made upon the plan of
the " Phenix and Budgetand in the way Of stories,
| an important reform has been adopted, which wil.
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
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 unillustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 SO per year for SIM
gle copy-fve copies for IS 90. This giving about
four pages for one cent!
1t is desirable to receive orders at once, that
| 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 widely possible.
