DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.
GREATLY REDUCED PRICE?FROM TO }3 PER
ANNUM
single cott, twenty-five cents.
PROSrKCTUB OF THE SEVENTEENTH VOLUME.
THE price of the Democratic Review has
heretofore been too high?not for its size, cost,
and character, but for the means of tens of thousands
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, simultaneously
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 aa low as $2 SO, or even to 30
per annum.
This very large reduction in the receipts (accompanied
with but a comparatively small diminution
of its expenses) involves, of course, an entir* sacrifice
of profit upon it, unless compensated by a vast
multiplication of its subscribers. There will be at
the outset only a small reduction in its number of
pages; soon to be restored to its old number, without
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.
i ne postage will nereauer, ior any uibuiiicc, uc
only five and a halj cents ; it has heretofore been, for
over 100 miles, eighteen cents.
We look for an extension of circulation to be
reckoned by tent nf thousands, as the result and compensation
of this great reduction of price. Every
friend of the work, and of the democratic principles
and cause, is confidently appealed to, to exert himself
with an active interest to procure it subscribers;
both to extend its usefulness, and to carry it successfully
through the crisis of this great reduction of
its receipts.
Those who huve paid in advance for the coming
year, will receive it, at the reduced rate, for a year
and a half.

It will thus be seen, that when thirteen copies are

These rates afford high inducements to ngents

and favorably known in thia city, and in New I
York, from her long experience in teaching, hope*
to give entire aatiafaction to all who may eonnde l
their daughter* to her care. She ia a native of I
France, and familiar with ita language and litera- i
ture, and conversant with the best mid ensiest modes l
of imparting to her pupils a perfect knowledge of i
that language, so that they can not only read and |
Write, but apeak it fluently. She has secured able i
asristanta tor various departments, so that all i
branches of an English as well as French education
will hd thoroughly taught. Pupils who reside in |
the family have the peculiar advantages of hearing,
and conversing at all limes in the French language,
and of perfecting themselves in the science of music,
being under the surveillance df ah experienced
teacher. The course of instruction, besides the
usual elementary brunches, includes all the higher
studiea pursued in the most approved northern ttetninaries.
The discipline is mild and affectionate, yet
decided, and is maintained by appeals to the affections
and conscience of the pupil; it is designed, by h i
proper development and cultivation of the better
qualities of the hemi, to bind more affectionately the
pupil to her teacher, and by it io secure obedience.
As sound physical, moral, and intellsctual improvement
and culture, are the great objects desired, it is
the aim of the principal not so much to crowd thl
memory with words, us to draw forth and truin the
systematic and vigorous action, the observing, re
fleeting, and active powers of the mind. The
charges to those who reside in the family are, for
board and tuition in all the branches of French and
English, $200 per annum for u single pupil; but
wl^en two pr more are entered at the same time, h
liberal deduction will be made. .The additional
charges per quarter are tor music, piano, dnd guitar,
$15; use of instrument, $2 50; vocal muaic, $5. To
day scholars, the charges for tuition in the first
department in French or English, are $10;
together, $15; in the second department first

the second class French or English $7; together
$10; in the third department, first class, Krench i

class, French or English $5; together $8;. Latin $4,

time, and Will be charged only front the dale of their
entiance. No deduction will be made to those who i
absent themselves after commencing a quarter, unless
nreventcd from stlrnilinp' bv sickness. Bills in
all cases to be paid ili advance. Every attention is
pant to liic religious as well as moral and Intellectual
instructions of the pupils, but no sectarian peculiarities
are ever inculcated. Those residing in the family
will uttend such churches as their parents may
selsct, under the care of a teacher. They will attend
the Episcopal church with the Principal, when i
no other directions are given. Any other information,
and the most satisfactory references will be

of two years, one hundred and fifty dollars. For
one year, eighty dollars. For less than one year,
| ten dollars a month. For more then one year, and
less than two years, seven dollars a month after the
first year.
The terms of the general course are twenty dollars

course only, payable in advance; and five dollars a
month for any leas time. The professional students
will have the privilege of attending the general
course, and also any additional course, at pleasure,
without extra charge.
The professional course commences on the first day
of October, end the classes for the general course form
on the third Monday of October, annunlly. Students
are advised to join at those times, if convenient; but

s a powerful alterative, as numerous visiters can
sstify, having been visited for the last fifty years,
nd, had it not been for its contracted accommodaions,

uprovementa have been increased so as to accomodate
between two and three hundred visiters.
The proprietor ha* endeavored to put this waterrig
place on a footing with the most fashionable and
