centinue, with the improvement derived from
• • experience, the method of }Retro ical Analysis (rather _
• than of unsatisfactory and spiritless abridgment)
• which met with uniform approbatitin during the last two 1
''<"sous, as being at once the most concise, the clearest,
and the fairest to all parties. In addition to this, the
. Spectator will adopt new and Teculiar methods of not-
• -traiing every Question brought before the Legislature for
d
• '",""ion. While a prominence correspondent to its
• r"' importance is given to this branch of Polities, no de-
partment, whether of amusement or instruction, corn- }
prised in the original piers of the Spectator, shall be
neglected. On the contrary, the recent enlargement of
the Paper (from 16 pages to 24) has given great additional
scope for the development of every part of the scheme, as
•., oecemion may require ; and the Proprietors feel considerable '1
confidence in asserting, that—apart from its claims as a
Journal of Literature, and of Dramatic, Musical, and Pic-
total Criticism—the Spectator, as a newspaper, bestowsotters •
Space and elaboration on Events and their come-
quence, that is, it contains more News of a readable kind, e
than any, other Paper whatever. The Proprietors invite (i
comparison.
There are Two Editions of the Spectator—one for the
the country, published on Saturday, is time to be sent by
the post Of that evening; another fur town, published t
• very early on. Sunday morning, and bringing down all
• public news to the latest hour. The early edition reaches
every post town within 200 miles of London in the course
of Sunday; the latest editions may be had through the
Proper Newsmen, at every place within 10 or 12 miles of
' London before breakfast.
Those who intend to become Subscribers to the Spec-
tator, at the- meeting of Parliament, should give their
orders to the Newsmen, Postmasters, or Booksellers Minte-
diately,
as few copies beyond the ordinary supply for regu-
lar Subscribers are printed.—October 27.
CONTEMPORARY TESTIMONIES IN FAVOUR
• OF THE SPECTATOR.
" North—There, James, lies the Spectator, a weekly
Paper of the highest merit, and 1 wish I had some way of
atrenuouely recommending it to the reading public. The
Palitor, indeed, is Whiggish, and a Pro-Catholic—but
neoderate, steady, end consistent in his politics. Let us
have no turn-coats. His precis of passing politics is
always admirable; his Mercantile Information—that I
know on. the authority of aa good a judge as lives—is cor-
'tot and comprehensive. Miscellaneous News are col-
lected judiciously and amusingly from all quarters: the
Literary department is equal, on the whole, to that of any
other weekly periodical. I nowhere see better criticism
... on Poetry—and nowhere nearly so good criticism on The-
' atriuls. Some critiques there have been in that depart-
. Ment, enperior in exquisite truth of tact to any thing I
rentember—worthy of •Elia himself, though not apparently
from Elia ; and in accounts of Foreign Literature, crepe-
• aiallY French, and above all, of French Politics, a subject
an which I need to be enlightened, I have seen no periodi-
'. • cal at all equal to the Spectator.
' • "Shepherd-...The numbers you sent out by deserved a'
that ye said o' them. • It's • a insist enterteenin' and in•
etructive—a maist miscellawneous miscellany.

"North..-.The Spectator is impartial. It is a fair,
open,
noniest, and manly periodieal."—Blackwood'a Ma-
geaine, April, 1829.
" A Paper distinguished among its weekly content-
,. porarieefor its perception of the ludicrous in manners, and
tam Fititiant, yet .not malignant satire upon the foibles of
May 28, 1829.
The Spectator, by far the best, informed and the best-
, Itvisr9att)e.n of all the neutral journals."—Standard, April 8,
" A Paper supported by first-rate talent " . • • •
54,Ifain, (in quoting a critique on the Italian Opera)—
The'wit, truth, and spirit of the annexed observations,
• Which appear in the Spectrum of this elate, entitle them
to a place in my Diary. They ought, and probably will,
'find a corner in every scrap-book in the dominions of our
Sovereign Lord the King."—Diary of a Dilettante.—Har-
artonicon, June, .1829.
" We esteem the Dramatic Criticisms of the Spectator
t 0 be quite unrivalled for a 'fine discrimination, tempered
With good nature, and for the happy expression of poetical
' thOughts and feelings without the pomp of words. -New
Monthly Magazine, March, 1830.
A 'Paper of admirable variety' and excellent mannge-
mt•et;"..,--Weetininster Review, No. 28.•
[Equally favourable testimonials might be adduced from
the Times, a very great number of the Provincial Journals
ix the three. kingdoms, and not a few of those of the Con-
tieent, the Colonies, and Arnerica.l
TO ADVERTISERS.
The nat4rZality of the Plan of the Spectator, anti Its
r4Pidly extending cireniation among the higher and more
affluent classes of the community, render it one of the very
brit channels of Advertising ; the more especially as Ad-
, vertisements are typographically arranged in a way to ill-
Crease their effect, without encroaching on the space due
to the general reader.
