TINE price of the DEMOCRATIC REVIEW has here
Il tofore been too high-not for its size, cost and
character, but for the of tens of thousa nds
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
widening the range of its usefulness, and of multi
plying the numbers Of those to whom it may be ac-
cessible, it has been determined, simultaneously
with the great reduction in the expen of the post
age. to reduce its subscription price also from Fyre
TO only Three dollars; and when several unite in
subscription, to as low as So 90, or So 80 per
annum.
This very large reduction in the pts (accom-
panied with but comparatively small diminution
of its expenses) involves, of course entire sac
rificc of profit upon il, unless compensated by
vast multiplication of its subscribers. There will
he at the outset only small reduction in its mum.
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.

costly style than heretofore.
