This extraordinary success places the company

Policy-holders participate in the whole OF the

mortgages on real estate in the city of New York

The widespread fame Of these splendid periodi-

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 a dignity
candor and forbearance not often found in works of
party character.
They embrace the views OF the three great parties
in Engand-whig, tory, and radical. "Blackwood"
