In the line Of critical notices of new books, de-
ciaed improvement has been made upon the plan Of
the "Phenx and Budget"-and in the way of stories,
an important reform has been adopted, which will
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 q,
may not feel willing to pay the more expensive price,
of monthly magazines the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unlustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 50 per year for sin
gle copy-fiye copies for s. 90. This is giving about
four pages for one cent
II 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 are to extend the usefunts,
OF the work as widely as possible.
