testibly proved the superior efficacy of this Medicine, in
all ewes of Colds, Coughs, and Asthmatic Affections.—

the patient of a slight or recent Cold, and a few doses are
generally sufficient to remove those which neglect has ren-
dered more confirmed and obstinate, awl which are accom-
panied with Cough, Spitting of Blood, and other Redotl,3
symptoms. Its peculiar balsamic powers tend to heal sore-

Cough ; and in Asthmatic Affections it assists and gives
freedom to the Breath.

THE LONDON WEEKLY RE
VIEW.

This Work having passed into new hands, the Proprietors
wish to state their objects in the publication.
It has long been obvious that a very high practical ad-
vance might be made in Reviews, by uniting the activity
of the Weekly Journal, with the more copious and solid
information of the Quarterly; and that this was to he
effected alone by employing many writers of satisfactory
ability for the various departments of the work.
The Proprietors of the LONDON WEEKLY RE-
VIEW, fully convinced of the truth of their conception,
have determined to follow it up in the most direct and
practical manner, sparing neither labour nor expense, un-
til they shall have given to the public a performance, in
whose promptitude, soundness, anti:extent of information,
manliness of principle, and critical fairness, it may fully

confide. - ,
On the very serious point of public principle, the Pro- I
prietors desire to be plainly understood. In a work like
this, which mast come from a variety of hands, there may
be variety of opinions on literary subjects, lint there shall
be no wavering of principle. English feelings, English
loyalty, the honour of their country, and the permanency of
its noble and venerable Institutions, shall ba their guiding
and their sole influences.
In General Literature, their efforts will be active in
every available direction; and, from the peculiar extent of
their opportunities, they will be enabled to supply the
reader with information at once early, accurate, and com-
prehensive.
The Classical and Scientific Student shall find a sufficient
detail of every work valuable to his pursuits; the ,Artist,
and Connoisseur, of every performance connected with the
Arts ; arA the General Reader shall be enabled safely to
choose for himself, :among the stores of interest and amuse-
ment that the preen is pouring out with such singular afflu-
ence in our time.
Their Criticism shall be, in all instances, directed by the
merit of the work, without consideration of author, pub-
lisher, or any of those influences which have occasionally
tended so much to I:e,riliate periodical criticism. They
elually protest agaimrt the false principle that severity ie
justice, as nothing more than a shallow contrivance to at •
tract public attention, or nn indulgence of the private pol-
troonery and malignity that darts not to strike but tinder
a mask. They feel that the true use of Criticism is to
guide, not to repel and trample; and that it cannot be more
honourably or gracefully employed, than in looking for
concealed excellent*, and bringing it into the light of day.
Those graver departments of their work will be followed
by a large quantity of Notices and Compositions : Tales,
Traits of Character, Anecdotes and Fragments from Foreign
, Publications, the Proceedings of Literary Societies at home
and abroad, Biographies of Remarkable Persons, Foreign
Correspondence, and, from time to time, good Original
Poetry.
To the Drama, marked attention shall be paid, as to a
favourite object of public taste, and one which has hung,
perhaps, the brightest wreath round the brow of English
genius.
