SINGLE coYY, TWENTY-FIVE CENTS.
PROSPECTUS OF THE SEVENTEENTH VOLUME
TIME price Of the DEMOCRATIC REVIEW has
Il 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, it has been determined Simultaneous
w with the great reduction in the expense of the
postage, to reduce its subscription price also, from
fpe to only three dollars; and when several unite
in subscription, to as low 80 So or even to ~ 30
per annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accom-
panied with but a comparatively small diminution
of its expenses) involves, of course, entire sacr
fee of profit upon it, unless compensated by vast
multiplication of its subscribers. There will be al
the outset only small reduction in its number oil
pages; soon to be restored to 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 five and half cents il has heretofore been fol
| over 100 miles, eighteen cents.
| We look for an extension Of circulation to bt
reckoned by tens Of 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 an active interest to procure 1t subscribers
both to extend its usefulness, and to carry it sue
cessully through the crisis of this great reduction
its receipts.
Those who have paid in advance for the coming
year, will receive it, at the reduced rate, for yea
| and half.
