REVUE DIES DEUx MONDEs.

Nouyelle Period avec La Collaboration des
SOmnlltes Litteraires ct scientifiques, de
Lea France ct des pays Etrangers.
Published on the first and fifteenth of every month.
Each number contains l76 pages, svo., at Sl2 so
per annum.
~ The Revue DIES Deux Mondes has been formed
for the purpose of establishing an intercourse in
the intellectual pursuits the most followed between
distinguished men of Europe and America. II is
proposed in this collection to give prominent
place to the affairs of the American Union, to the
abors of its politicians, and to the Literary and
Scientific publications of its Authors The Revue
des Deux Mondes now makes a public appeal to
American Authors and Editors by sending to it.,
through Mr.. Putnam, OF New York, a copy OF each
Of their publications The Revue is in a better po-
| siton than any other organ ia Europe to serve as
an intellectual link between The Old a1d the New
World, which has as Editors and Contributors the
most eminent political, scientific, and literary men
of France. Many of its contributors have visited
North and South America and it still counts among
] them many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps.
Each number of the Revue in addition to its articles
signed by the first names of France, contains, under
the title of Chronique de la Quinzane," histori-
world, which will certainly be, for the American,
the most faithful picture of the European move
ments.
