In the line of critical notices of new books, de
caed 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 vii
abolish the plan of giving long novels continued, pro
vokingy, 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 price,
of monthly magazines the proprietor has determined
to publish the work at the extremely low price
charged for its palmer and unllustraed predecessor
The price will therefore be u SO per year for SIN
gle copy-fve copies for rs 90. This is giving abou,
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 to extend the usefulness
of the work widely as possible
