PROSPECTUS
TO THE NEW VOLUME OF THE
united States Magazine,
DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.
Vol. al, Commencine JUN. 1912

BY an increase in the number of pages.
and by an alteration in its Typographical
arrangements, the quantity of matter
heretofore furnished to the readers of the
Democratic Review, will lie increased in
its future numbers about Serenity fpe per
cent.
The Editor expects valuable aid to his
own efforts, during the course Of the COM
ing year, from number Of the most able
pens of the great Democratic Party-to-
gcther with that of others, in its purely
literary department, to which the same
political designation is not to be applied.
Among them may be particularly named:
Bancroft, j. +. Cooper, Amos Kendall,
Whittier, Sedgwick, Gilpin, Butler, Parke
Goodwin, Hawthorne, Davezac, Paulding,
A. II. Everett, Brownson, Cambreleng,
J. l.. Stephens, Tilden, Tasistro, Eames,
Bryant, Cass, c. J. lngersoll, Miss Sedge-
wick.
The monthly Financial and Commercial
articles, which have frequently been pro-
nounced by the most intelligent criticisms
during the past year in themselves alone
worth the subscription to the work, will
be continued from the same able hand.
An arrangement has been made, by
which the BosToN QUARTERLY REVIEW.
edited by Mr.. BroWnson, will be merged
in the Democratic Review, the latter be-
ing furnished 10 the subscribers of the for
mer, and MIR. Brownson being frequent
and regular contributor to its pages. 1t
is proper to state, that Mr.. Brownson's ar
ticles will be marked by his name-tho'
to most readers they would doubtless re-.
veal themselves by their internal evil
dence; and that it has been agreed under
the circumstances that these contributions
shall be Independent of the usual liabili-
ties to editorial revision and control-the
author alone having a similar response
bility for whatever popularity OF view
they may contain, as though appearing in
the original work, which has been hereto
fore edited with such distinguished ability
by himself.
Among other attractive papers in prepa
ration Tor the forthcoming volume, will be
found some personal sketches, reminiscent
ces, and anecdotes of the private life of
General Jackson, from the pen of an init
mate friend and member of his Cabinet.
The Portraits with which il is intended
to illustrate the numbers of the ensuing
year, and which will be executed in fine
style of engraving, by J. l.. Dick, of this
city, are those Of Col. r. Nj. johnson, Of
Kentucky, Hon. Silas Wright, of New
York, Hon. James Buchanan, of Pennsyl-
vanin. Hon. ]. c. Calhoun, of South Caro-
lima, Hon. Il. II, Benton, of Missouri,
Hon. X. J. Walker, OF Mississippi. Hon.
II. Sedgwick, of Massachusetts, Hon. c..
C. Cambreleng, Of New York, Hon. Gov.
Dorr, of Rhope Island, Hon. Coy. Porter,
of Pennsylvania; with two or three of the
