WASHINGTON: MORNING,
BLACKWOOD's MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews.

PREMIUMS TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS.
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 'e end is not get" the leading peri
odcals of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree OF interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjont-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records of the
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous trcatises 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 are offered To
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained the views, mod
eraely, 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" Whig;
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 one of the grand
departments of human knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his son-in-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 60 For
eign Quarterly and Westminster" it being, in
fact, union of the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles 1t has, 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 their arrival by the British steam
ers, in beautiful clear type, on fine white paper,
and faithful copies of the originals, Backwoods
Magazine being an exact fac smile of the Edin-
burgh edition.
