" This Review bids fair to be the most interesting of all
the Quarterlies. In a literary point of view, it is equal
to the very best of them already. Its articles are gene-
rally chosen with sound judgment, and almost uniformly
executed with great ability. Its political principles are
libefal and enlightened, and it seems to be entirely free
front the spirit of partizanship. On the whole, we can-
not hold out to our literary friends a higher treat, either in
point of variety or utility, than a perusal of this number
of the Foreign Quarterly Review."—Perthshire Adver-
tiser. _

"What wonderful students these Germans are! See what
a flood of light they throw on every abstruse part of anti-
quity, by dint of that singular union of industry and en-
thusiasm, labour and imagination, united with a beautiful
simplicity and homely feeling (elsewhere shown in this
number, in the Life of Weber, to pervade all classes in that
country), which our would-be-wits sneer at, and call, ire
derision, Germanism !"—Glasgow Free Press.
The present is, in our opinion, the most powerful
number that the Foreign Quarterly has yet published."—
Edinburgh Literary Journal.
" An invaluable work, anti one undoubtedly at the head
of our periodical literature ; admirable for the spirit of
liberality which everywhere pervades its pages, and for its
histor'c lore and profound philosophical criticism."—The
Irishman.

" In point of erudition and elegance of diction, this
number will be found equal to any of its predecessors.
History, in her classic and most animating form, is revived
in these pager, and imparts to them, in this age of literary
levity and frivolity, a peculiar and important character."
—East India Magazine.
" The number before us is a superior one to most of its
predecessors, first, from the miscellaneous character of its
information : secondly, from the able way in which that
information has been condensed and made acceptable to the
most listless and impatient readers."—Sun.
" The Foreign Quarterly keeps up its interest and
ability ; and this is saying much on its behalf, after the
honest and disinterested praise we have awarded to its
former numbers. One cause of the gratification with
which we open a new number of this periodical we must
say a word or two upon, in the hope that it may recom-
mend it to others, who, like ourselves, feel an increasing
aversion to being pestered with the vituperative wrang_
sings of party politicians. The Foreign Quarterly is de-
lightfully free from such nuisances ; it is unmarked by the
odious plague-spot of faction. For these reasons we cor-
dially recommend the Foreign Quarterly to the notice and
support of such of our readers as may not be so hopelessly
engrossed by the topics which absorb all the attention of
the quidnuncs of the day, as to have no thought to spare
for the general interest of literature and science.".-Suffolk
Chronicle,
