In the line Of critical notices of new books, de-
cioed improvement has been made upon the plan of
the "Phenix and Budget'-and in the way of stories
an important reform has been adopted, which viii.
abolish the plan Of giving long novels continued pro-
yokingly, from number to number.
In order to place the work in the hands of such as
may not feel willing to pay the more expensive prices
OF monthly magazines, the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for It's palmer and unilustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 50 per year fora sim
gle copy-hve copies for So o. This is giving about
four pages for cent.
II 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 as we to extend the usefulness
OF the work as widely as possible.
