DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.
GREATLY REDUCED PRlCE-FROM SIS TO SO ?
ANNuM
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 be glad TO receive il,
and among whom it is highly desirable that it
should circulate. For the purpose, therefore, of
largely widening the range of It's usefulness, and Of
multiplying the numbers of those to whom it may
be accessible it has been determined, simultaneous
ly with the great reduction in the expense of the
postage to reduce its subscription price also, from
fire to only three dollars; and when several unite
in subscription, to low 50 so, even to 50 30
per annum
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with but comparatively small dlminntIon
Of its expenses) involves, of course an entire sacr-
flee of profit upon it, unless compensated by vast
multiplication of its subscribers. There will be at
pages; soon to be restored to its old number, with
out increase Of price, when the anticipated success
of the experiment shall Justify 1t.
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 fire and half cents it has heretofore been for
over 100 miles, eighteen cents.
We look for an extension Of circulation TO he
reckoned by lens Of housandH, as the resultant COM
pensation Of this great reduction Of price. Every
and cause, is confidently appealed TO, to exert him
self with an active interest procure it subscribers;
both to extend its usefulness, and TO carry 1t sue
cessuy 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
