The Foreign Quarterly Review,
The Westminster Review, and
Backwood's Edinburgh Magazine

The above periodicals are reprinted in New York
Immediately on their arrival by the British steam
ers, in beautiful clear type, on fine white paper
and are faithful copies Of the originals Blackwoods
Magazine being an exact fac. simile ofthe Edin-
burgh edition.
The widespread fame Of these splendid period-
calls renders it needless to say much in their praise
As literary organs they stand far in advance of any
works of similar stamp now published, while the
political complexion of each is marked bya dignity
candor, and forbearance not often found in works of
a party character.
They embrace the views Of the three great parties
in EngIand-whig, tory, and radical. "Blackwood"
and the "London Quarterly" are tory; the "Edin-
burgh Review, :" wing; and the "W estmnstcr - rad
cal. The "Foreign Quarterly" is purely literary
being devoted principally TO criticisms on foreign
continental works.
The prices of the reprints are less than one-thrd
of those of the foreign copies, and while they
equally well got up, they afford all that advantage to
the American over the English reader.
