BLACKwOOD'S MAGAZINE

PremIums to New Subscribers.

owing to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession and of which
the end is not yst" the leading periodicals of Great
est hitherto, unknown. They occupy a middle
ground between the hasty, DISCOUNTED and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo
rate and ponderous eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,

rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in Epgand-Tory, Wing and RAJ

the &c 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 on any one o! the grand depart
ments Of human knowledge it was originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is
Quoted by his sonn-iaw, DR. Hanna associated with
Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is of the
very highest order. The " Westminster" though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title of the Foreign Quarterly and

combination of uniting in work the best features
