BLACKWOOD's MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews.

PREMIUMS TO NEW sUBsCRlBEhs'
OWING to the late revolutions and counter revo-
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and of which sste end is not ye' the leading peri
odicas of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy a middle ground between the hasty, disjoint-
ed and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers and the elaborate and ponderous rcatses 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
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
eratey, though clearly and firmly expressed OF the
three great parties in England-Tory, Whig, and
Radical. "Blackwood'' and the Z" London Quar-
terly" are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" }" Wing;
and the I" w Westminster Review" Liberal The
a. North British Review owes its establishment TO
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
departments ofhuman knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DIR. 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 ' 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 advantage by this combination of uniting
in one work the best features of both heretofore
issued.
The above periodicals are reprinted in New York,
