BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews.
.prnx,ure 10 Nrw suaerpIarpsii

OWING to the late revolutions and counter revo
~ lutions among the nations of Europe, which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and of which "s end is not yet" the leading peri
odicals of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjoint-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records Of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous reatses TO
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem II proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they offered To
Subscribers The following is their list. viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views mod
erately though clearly and firmly expressed of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing, and
Radical. "Blackwood" and the :" London Quar-
terly" are Tory; the edinburgh Review" Wing;
and the " Westminster Review" Liberal The
:" North British Review owes its establishment TO
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
and is not ultra in its views any of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his SON. law, Dr. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is of the very highest order. The "West
minister though reprinted under that title only is
published in England under the title of the I" For
eign Quarterly and Westminster" it being, in
fact, union Of the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles thas, there
fore, the advantage by this combination Of uniting
in one work the best features of both heretofore
issued.
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, Blackwoods
Magazine being an exact facsimile of the Edin-
burgh edition.
