The Museum.


s9O has just commenced a new series OF the
Museum of Foreign Literature and Science
This work has now been published more than
three years Its plan embraced every thing val
liable in the Journals of Europe-but while IT
yet remained to be proved that this plan would
be acceptable to the public-it was not Thought
expedient to incur the great expense nece ssary
to execute it fully-or to encounter the disad-
vantage Of copying from Journals to which our
readers might perhaps be subscribers. On tnesc
accounts we have, with one or two exceptions
avoided the Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews
All doubts of the success of work on the plan
of the Museum, have been entirely removed by
the cxperiment,and tic best proofo gratitude Tor
the public favour will be found i'll increased CT
forts to deserve it.
The new series contains doubie the quantity of
matter that was in the tirst-and when IT Is con
sidered that that was already the cheapest peri
odcal work in the country, it will be evident that
we offer very considerable inducements to sub
scrbers. There will be twelve nunbersa year,
each containing nearly as much as one OF the Re
views. This increase of space enables us to re-
print trery thing ,c0rth reprinting, in the Edin-
burgh and Quarterly Reviews in addition TO the
following works, from which We have regularly
drawn our supplies heretofore Biackwood's Mag
azne, London Magazine, Edinburgh Magazine,
Westminster Review, Retrospective Review,lt-
erary Gazette, London journal OF Science Liter
atnre and the Arts, Rrewstcrs Edinburgh Philo-
sophcal Journal, European Magazine, New
Monthly Magazine, Monthly Magazine, British
Critic, British Review Monthly Review, Ncker-
mans Repository, la Belle Assemolee, Electro
Review, Christian Observer, Ladies' Magazine,
Pocket Magazine, and all new Journals ot merit,
for which We have standing orders abroad
The Editor of a ,bwaai consisting entirety 9
selections from Fore ga journoh, may perhaps be
allowed, without tie impntauon OF vanity, TO
speak of the qtiify, well AS the quantity, OF
the matter contained in his work. II is very eti-
dent that an abundance is offered to his choice,
amp as the Journals of Great Britain are support
ed by writer's OF great talent and high tcPnta-
tion, 10 whom large salaries are paid, much must
be OF a very superior order. II would seem then
to be easy TO compile, from all these Journals,
one which shall be superior TO any ono OF them.
