BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews.

PREMIUMS TO NEW sUBSCRlBERs.
Owing to the late revolutions and counter reyo-
~ lutions among the nations OF Europe, which
have followed each other in such quick succession
and of which sse end is not yef" the leading peri
odicals of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjoint-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records of the
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatises TO
be furnished by the historian ut future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem il 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;
H THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW, iisE
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW, ~
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and IN
,BLACKWOODS EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views, mod
erately 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" 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 any of the grand
departments of human knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his son-in-law, DIR. 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 g For
eign Quarterly and Westminster il 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 work the best features of both heretofore
issued. .t4t t.tsH4 .A
The above periodicals are reprinted in New York ,
Immediately on their arrival by the British steam
ers, in beautiful clear type, on fine white paper,
and faithful copies of the originals Blackwood's
Magazine being an exact facsimile of the Edin-
burgh edition.
