PREMIUMS TO NEW sUBscRIBERs!
OWING TO the late revolutions and counter revo-

have followed each other in such quick succession
and of which "Lhe end is yet, the leading peri
odicals of Great Britain have become invested with
degree of interest hitherto unknown. They
cupy middle gi, and between the hasty, disjoipt-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records of the
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous rcatises 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 arecentaned the views, mod
crately though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Whig, and
Radical. " Blackwood" and the " London Quar-
terlyh are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Whig;
and the g Westminster Review" Liberal The
{" North British Review" owes it's establishment to
the last great ecclesiastica movement in Scotland
and is not ultra in its views any one OF the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; il was origin
ally edited by DIR. 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 tte very highest order The fWest
Minister though reprinted under that title only, is
published in England under the title Of the '' For
eign Quarterly and Westminster" it being, in
fact union of the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles. II has, there
FORE the advanta ge by this combination of uniting
in work the best features of both heretofore

The above periodicalsa are reprinted in New York,
Immediately on their arrival by the British steam
ers in beautiful clear type, on fine white paper,
