Dr. j. Smith Dodge, upon his arrival in Wash
ingon to open an office as Surgeon Dentist pre-
scented to me letters from several friends in New
York of the highest responsibility and standing,
containing the strongest and the favorable tes-
timonials, both to the excellence of his private
character and his superior professional qualifca-
tons. These satisfactory evidences of the man
and the Dentist induced me at once TO engage the
professional services of Mr. Dodge for my own
family and my wife and myself are now able, from
personal experience, to add own equally favor
able testimony in his favor as a gentleman and a
skilful dentist. This testimony is thus given by
me, well in obedience TO the earnest solicitations
of respectable and worthy friends in New York,
who havefor many years experienced the skill and
fidelity of the doctor in his profession as to my
convictions of his personal and professional merit.

The Edinburgh Review,
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 Black woods
Magazine being an exact ac.simile Of the Edin
burgh edition
The widespread fame Of these splendid perodi-
calls renders il needless 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 by dignity
candor, and forbearance not often found in works Of
a party character.
They embrace the views Of the three great parties
in Engand-whig, tory, and radical. "Blackwoodn
and the London Quarterly" are tory; the "Edn-
Ourgh REVIEW wing; and the wv eslmlnster,n rad.
zeal. 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 are
equally well got up, they afford all that advantage to
the American over the English reader.
