DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.
GREATLY REDUCED PRlCE-FRoM 50 TO 50 PE
ANNITM
SINGLE cory, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.

I
SINGLE cory, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
PROSPECTUS OF THE SEVENTEENTH VOLUME.
TIME price of the DEMocRATIc REVIEW has
i heretofore been too high--not for its size, cost,
and character, but for the means of tens Of thou
sands of readers who would he glad to receive il,
and among whom it is highly desirable that ii
should circulate. For the purpose, therefore, of
largely widening the range of its usefulness, and Of
multiplying the numbers Of those to whom il may
be accessible, it has been determined, simultaneous
ly with the great reduction in the expense of the
POSTAGE reduce its subscription price also, from
fire to only three dollars; and when several unite
in subscription to as low 90 SO, even to ~ 30
per annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with but comparatively small diminution
ofits expenses) Involves of course, entire sacr-
fee of profit upon it, unless compensated by vast
multiplication Of its subscribers. There will be at
the outset only a small reduction in its number of
pages soon to be restored 70 its old number, with
out increase of price, when the anticipated success
of the experiment shall justify it.
The portraits Of distinguished democrats will be
continued, engraved in better and more costly style
than heretofore.
The postage will hereafter for any distance, be
only fpe and half cents it has heretofore been for
over 100 miles, eighteen cents.
We look for an extension Of circulation to be
rcckoned by tens Of thousands, the result and
pensation of this great reduction of price. Every
friend of the work, and of the democratic principles
and cause, is confidently appealed to- to exert him
self with an active interest to procure it subscribers;
both to extend its usefulness, and to carry it sue
cessflly through the crisis Of this great reduction Of
its receipts.
Those who have paid in advance for the coming
year, will receive il, at the reduced rate, for year
and half
