COMMITTEES Litteraires ct scientirques, do

Published the first and fifteenth of every month
Each number contains l76 pages, syo., at Sl2 80
per annum.
~ The Revue des Deux Mondes has been formed
for the purpose Of establishing intercourse in
the intellectual pursuits the most followed between
distinguished men of Europe and America. Ii il
proposed in this collection TO give prominent
place to the affairs of the American Union, 10 the
labors of it's politicians, and to the Literary and
Scientific publications of its Authors. The Revue
DIES Deux Mondes now makes public appeal to
American Authors and Editors, by sending to it,
through Mr. Putnam, of New York, copy Of each
of their publications. The Revue is in better pc
sition than any other organ in Europe to serve
an intellectual link between the Old and the New
World, which has Editors and Contributors the
most eminent political, scientific, and literary men
Of France. Many of its contributors have visited
North and South America, and II 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
cal summary Of the principal events Of the political
world which will certainly be, for the American,
the most faithful picture of the European move
ments.
