PREMIUMS TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS! |!

PREMIUMS TO NEW suBscRIBERs
nWING 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 be 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, dsjoiDt-
ed and necessarily imperfect records OF the news-
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous tises
be furnished by the historian at a future day The
American Publishers, therefore, deem il proper 10
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
BLACKwo0D's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals arc contained the views, mod
erately, though clearly and firmly expressed of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing. and
Radical. " "Backwood" and the 90 London Quar-
terly" are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" whg;
and the " Westminster Review" Liberal. The
North British Review" owes its establishment 10
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
and s not ultra in its views ON any one of the grand
departments of human knowledge; il was origin.
ally edited by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his son-in-aw, DR.. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is Of Tire very highest order. The ''wosf
minister" though reprinted under that title only s
published in England under the title of the '' For
egn Quarterly and Westminster" il being, in
fact, a union Of the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles II has, there
fore, the advantage by this combination Of uniting
in work the best features Of both as heretofore
Issued.
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 kwood'

burgh edition.
