PROSPECTUS
TO TIE NEW VOLUME OF THE
united States Magazine,
DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.
t0' A., Commencing July, 1912.

'oiiN H. O'SULLlVAN, Editor.
by an increase in the number of pages,
ana 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 Screnty-fre 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 F. Cooper, Amos Kendall,
Whittier, Sedgwick, Gilpin, Butler, Parke
Goodwin, Hawthorne, Davezac, PauIding,
A. II. Everett, Brownson, Cambreleng,
J. l.. Stephens, Tilden, Tasistro, Eanaes,
Bryant, Cass, c. ]. Ingersoll, Miss Sedge-
wick:
articles, which have frequently hoon ~
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.. Bropnson, will be merged
in the Democratic Review, the latter be-
ing furnished 10 the subscribers of the for
mer, and Mr.. 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 similar response
bility for whatever peculiarly 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 it 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. M. Johnson, OF
Kentucky, Hon. Silas Wright, of New
York, lion. James Buchanan, of Pennsyl-
vania. Hon. J. C. Calhoun, of South Caro-
lima, Hon. II. II. Benton, Of Missouri,
Hon. R. J. Walker, of Mississippi, Hon.
T. Sedgwick, Of Massachusetts,, Hon. c.
C. Cambreleng, of New York, Hon. Gov.
Dorr, OF Rhope Island, Hon. Gov. Porter,
of Pennsylvania; with two or three of the
most eminent members of the great Libe-
raj Party of Europe, from different coun
tries; or else of others of "home produce
tion," according to the facility of p, ocur.
ing portraits from abroad
