In the line Of critical notices of new books, de-
ciaed improvement has been made upon the plan Of
the Phcnix and BUdget"-and in the way of storic,
an important reform has been adopted, which vii
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 a,
may not feel willing to 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 unustated predecessor
The price will therefore be 81 SO per year for SIN
gle copy--fve copies for IS co. 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 to extend the usefulness
Of the work as widely as possible.
