may not feel willing 10 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 unilustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 SO per year for sim
gle copy-fye copies for IS 10: This is giving about
four pages for one cent
