IMPORTANT REDUCTION IN POST
AGE. We congratulate our subscribers and
the reading public generally, on the cheapness
with which they can now receive our reprints by
mail. The postage hirticrto though gradually
reduced since 1844 has always operated as a dis
couragement to their circulation iu places inac
cessible by expresses or other modes of regular
private conveyance. Hence, as yet they have ob
tained but a oomparative iuegre ui.nl circulation.
We hope now that the postage is merely nqHiTu,
a new impetus will be given to these valuable
works, and that no Post Office within the United
States will remain unrisited by at least one copy
of the four Reviews and Blaekwoods Magazine.
The Postage on Blackwood and the four Reviews
is now but 72 cents a year, and the subscription
price is but 3,and when taken with any of the
four Reviews out S2, a year'.
