paper, and are faithful copies of the originals
Blackwood's Magazine being an exact facsimile
of the Edinburgh edition.
The widespread fame of these splendid peri
odlcals renders 1t needless to say much in their
praise, AS literary organs, they stand far In adj
vance OF any works Of similar stamp now pub
lished, while the political complexion Of each Is
marked BY dignity, candor, and forbearance, not
often found in works Of party character.
They embrace the views Of the three great
parties in England Whg, Tory, and Radical.
g Blackwood" aud the "London Quarterly are
Tory, the Edinburgh Review" Wing, and the
Westminster" Radical The "North British
Review" is of more Religious cast, and has for
its editors Sir D1vd Brewster and DR.. Hanna, SON
in-law of the late DR. Chalmers, of Edinburgh. Its
literary articles are of the first order, and it is lib
eral IN its politics.
The prices of the reprints are less than one
third Of those Of the foreign copies; and, while
they are equally well got up they afford all that
advantage 10 the american over the English reader.
