PREMIUMS TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS!

PREMIUMS TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS!
OWING 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 ''Ue end is not yef the leading peri
odicas Of Great Britain have become invested with
degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy a middle ground between the hasty, disjoint-
cd and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous reatses to
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem II proper 70
call renewed attention TO these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they offered 70
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 arc rccentainod the views, mod
erately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Whig, and
Radical. " Blackwood" and the London Quar-
terly" are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Whig;
and the Westminster Review" Liberal. The
" North British Review" owes its establishment 70
tho last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland,
and is not ultra in its views any of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; il was origin
ally edited by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his sonin-law, DIR. Hanna,
associacrd with Sir David Brewster. It's literary
character is Of the very highest order The "west
minister" though reprinted under that title only, IL
published in England under the title Of the /" For
cign 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 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 hne white paper,
and faithful copies Of the originals, Backwoods
Magazine being an exact facsimile of the Edin-
burgh edition.
