GREATLY REDUCED PRICE-FROM S5 TO
So PER ANNUM.
SINGLE COPY % CENTS

PROSPECTUS OF THE NEXT (or l7th) VOL.
TNHE price of the DEMocnATlc REVIEW has here
J. toforc been too high-not for its size, cost and
character, but for the means of tens of thousands
of readers who would be glad to receive it, and
among whom it is highly desirable that it should
circulate. For the purpose therefore, of largely
widenin the range of its usefulness, and of multi
plying the numbers of those to whom it NAV he ac-
cessiblc, it has been determined, simultaneously
with the great reduction in the expense of the post
age to reduce it's subscription price also, from Fire
TO only Three dollars; and when several unite in
subscription, to as low as So so, So 80 per
annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with but comparatively small dimin ution
of its expcnses) involves of course an entire sac
rfcc of profit upon it, unless compensated by
vast multiplication OF its subscribers. There will
be at the outset only small reduction in its num-
Der of pages; soon to be restored to its old number
without increase of price, when the anticipated
success of the experiment shall justify it.
The PORTRAITS OF DISTINGUISHED DENocR ATS
will be continued engraved in better and more
costly style than heretofore.
The POSTAGE will hereafter, for any distance, be
only fue and half cents it has heretofore been for
over 100 miles, eighteen cents.
We look for extension of circulation to be
reckoned by tens Of thousands, the result and
compensation of this great reduction of price 49,
principles and cause, is confidently appealed to to
exert himself with active interest to procure it
subscribers both to extend its usefulness, and to
carry it successfully through the crisis of this great
reduction of its receipts.
Those who have paid in advance for the coming
year, will receive it, at the reduced rate, for year
and half.
