DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.
GREATLY REDUCED PRICE-FRoM So TO - PER
ANNUM.
SINGLE cory, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.

81. / V
PROSPECTUS or 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 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
multiplying the numbers Of those to whom it may
be accessible, il has been determined Simultaneous
ly with the great reduction in the expense Of the
postage to reduce its subscription price ALSO from
five to only three dollars; and when several unite
in subscription, to low 50 SO, or even to ~ 30
per annum
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with but comparatively small diminution
of its expenses involves. of COURSE an entire sacr-
fee of profit upon it, unless compensated by vast
multiplication of its subscribers. There will be at
the outset only small reduction in its number Of
pages soon be restored 10 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 fire and half cents il has heretofore been, for
over 100 miles, eighteen cents.
We look for an extension Of circulation to be
reckoned by tens IF thousands the result and COM
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 active interest to procure It subscribers
both to extend its usefulness, and to carry u sue
cesslly through the crisis of this great reduction OF
its receipts.
Those who have paid in advance for the coming
wear will receive il, at the reduced rate, for year
and half.
