hSD THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Owing 10 the late revolutions ana
counier revolutions among the nations
Of Europe. which have followed eacn
other i'm such quick succession. and Of
which afte end is not ger the leading
periodicals Of Great Britain have be-
come invested with a degree OF INFER
est hitherto unknown. They occupy q
middle ground between the hasty, dis
io.nted. and necessarily imperfect re-
cords Of the newspapers, and Inc e!ao-
crate and ponderous~ treatises to be iur-
nished by the historian at a future day
Whoever reads these periodicals OBJ
tsins a correct aud connected account
of all the important political events Of
the old world, as they occur, and earns
the various conclusions drawn from
them by the leading spirits of the age.
The American Publishers therefore
deem it proper to call renewed atten-
ton TO the works they ~republish and
the very low prices at which they are
offered to subscribers. The following
is their list, viz:
The London Quarterly Rec u,
Tie Edinburg RelIeV,
The North British ReUieU,
The Westminster ReUieW,
AND
Blackwood'S Edinburgh Magazine.
In these periodicals are contained the
views, moderately, though clearly and
firmly expressed, ofthe three great par
ties in England-Tory, Wing, and Rad
icaI-" Blackwood' and the London
Quarterly are Tory; the "Edenburgh
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
Oh any one of the grand departments
of human knowledge; it was originally
edited by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since
his death is conducted by his son-in-law
DIR. Hanna, associated with Sir David
Brewster. It's literary character is OF
the very highest order. The West
minister" though reprinted under that
title only, is published in England un-
der the title of the Foreign Quarterly
and Westminster" it being in fact {
union ofthe two Reviews formerly pub
lished and reprinted under separate ii
ties. 1t has therefore, the advantage
by this combination, of uniting in ont
work the best features Of both as here
totore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinte,
in New York, Immediately on their al
rival by the British steamers, in a beau
tiful clear type, on fine white papel
and are faithful copies of the original

some have turned their steps 10 the gentler

Some have gone to the far distant west--tho

venturesome than the rest, have gone to tho
east, and are now, perchance, bounding up

Some may be wandering among the ruins of

one whose form is still fresh IN my memory.
One whose tiny hand was ofthe fairest white,
and whose heart Of the purost mould. Many
a bright hour did we pass together in the
bower of our flowers. But, too fair for earth,
she was called away. The frost of death
fell heavily upon her fairy brow, and an an

earth to bright mansions above and oh, how
long to be there too. Time rest heavily
upon me, and its iron tongue tells me the
hour is late, and whispers In my ear,--'Haste.
