THE THIRD VOLUME OF THE DEMOCRATIC REVIEW.

THOUGH neither circumstances nor custom render it necessary for a periodical work to address its readers on the recurrence of the cycle at which its numbers become a volume, yet as we lay each successive book before our readers, the consciousness that we have gained another stepping stone in a new career, watched with some interest by our friends, renders the occasion a proper opportunity of giving from time to time such explanations or information, as the character of our work affords no opportunity of saying in its regular pages.

We have received repeated suggestions from various parts of the Union, that such a modification of our plan as would admit notices of current literature, and new books, would be an improvement; and to these we reply, that we are sensible of the additional interest such a feature would give our journal, while it would be a congenial duty to ourselves, yet we have been induced to withhold it for sufficient reasons. We feel that while our pages are too limited now-liberal, as we are in this respect, beyond the precedent of all our monthly contemporaries-even for the many important public questions which press upon our attention, and which treated as they ought to be, with argument and illustration addressed to the reasoning faculties of the reader, will ever possess a far higher interest; it would be at the best but literary trifling to occupy a space, that can be so much better taken up, with merely temporary matter. Again, to notice new works with the care, candor, and thorough acquaintance with their contents, which we could alone admit as requisites for the task-and which would be indispensable to rescue such a department of a prominent periodical from the contempt or insignificance which so justly attach, generally speaking, to this branch of the press-would require a time and preparation that might be more advantageously devoted to subjects of enduring interest.

Objections have been made to the style of the likenesses which accompany our Gallery of Political Portraits. These arise from a mistaken conception of what should be the character of popular etchings of this description. They are not presented as, nor intended to be finished engravings, or accurate portraits of the respective originals, but outlines, spirited in conception and faithful in execution, of the individual, and such as might give to our distant readers a correct impression of the actual, living character, as exhibited in ordinary life, of those whose public history and acts are familiar to the whole land, while as individuals they can be known only to the limited circle with whom they may be brought in contact.

This, it will be admitted, has been fully accomplished in each number of the series published, and the interest as well as value which has in consequence attached to this feature of our work, prove to us a sufficient warrant for the additional expensa which these engravings occasion. They will be continued, from time to time, as occasion may serve.

In our arrangements for the coming year, we do not contemplate any material deviation from a plan that has so fully received the sanction of the public; that it would argue a want of appreciation on our parts of an encouragement as generous as it has been kind, if we were not to meet it by increased exertions to render the Democratic Review more worthy of its name, and of the great party whose principles it advocates.

Up to the time of sending this number to press nine orders to stop the Democratic Review for next year have been received from our entire list. Of these, four were occasioned by deaths or removals in the different States. Since the commencement of the present Volume, four hundred and eighty-nine new Subscribers have been received, a voluntary encouragement, which renders almost certain the permanent establishment of the work.

It is proper to state that all the back numbers having been reprinted, some of them four times, full sets of the work from the commencement can be supplied to all who require them.
