In the line of critical notices of new books, de-
ciued 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-
voklngly, 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 its palmer and unllustrated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 50 per year for SIN
gle copy-fve copies for IS 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 issues.
The trade will be served at very liberal rates
extremely anxious as we to extend the usefulness
of the work widely as possible.
