Terms of the Review.

By Editor

WITH the terms with which we commence the present Volume, the REVIEW can probably be published without embarrassment, and without donations from the liberal. We think the advance pay system, (with those who can pay,) is the only proper one. If subscriptions are renewed yearly, and paid in advance, and the names of delinquents be dropt from our book, there can be no occasion for anything like a dun, which seems so out of place in an Advent paper. It should be understood that the cost of a periodical is affected by the amount of its circulation. For example: The REVIEW with 4000 paying subscribers can be furnished weekly for $4000, or $1 a year to each subscriber. With 3000 subscribers, $3000, and with 2000 subscribers, $3000, or, $1,50 each subscriber. As only about 1500 of our subscribers have paid for the last Volume, the friends of the cause have decided that the terms be stated at $1 a volume, the poor half price, and to active preachers, widows, orphans, &c., (who are the Lord's poor,) free, and that the names of delinquents be dropped. With one half the circulation of the New York Tribune, the REVIEW could be better furnished at 28 cts. a volume, than it now can for $1. We state these facts for the benefit of those who may think the terms of the REVIEW high. When our circulation will allow it, we shall reduce the price. If we make mistakes in erasing names, (as we have been informed of some already,) we shall be happy to correct them when information shall be given.
