BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
AND THE
QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Premiums to New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each other i'll quick successon and OF which
the end is not yet," the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, dsjoned and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and ponderous reatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention to
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
TIE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
BLACKWOO1S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained the views, mode.
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, OF the
three great parties in England-Tory, Whg and Ra-
dicals' Blackwood" " and the London Quarterly "
are Tory the &C Edinburgh Review" Wing and
the 6 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 on any Of the grand depart
ments Of human knowledge it was originally edited
by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since his death, IS con-
Quoted by his son-in-law DR.. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is Of the
very highest order. The " "Westminstei," though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title of the 'Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster - it being in fact uHon OF the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted uHder sepa
rate titles 1t has therefore 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 their arrival by the British steamers,
in beautiful clear type fine white paper, and
faithful copies of the originals. Blackwoods Maga-

A GREAT NATIONAL WORK.
THE GALLERY OF ILLUSTRIOUS
AMERICANS.
Daguerreotypes by Brady---Engraved by
D'Avignon.

EDITED BY AN ASSOCIATION OF LITERARY MEN.
FINDER this title will be published, during the
u year 1850, twenty ytour Portraits and Biographi-
cal Sketches OF American citizens who have become
ilusrious in the service Of the country Every por
ton OF the work will receive the most careful atten-
ton, and nothing will be spared to render it worthy
mad enduring monument to the great men Of the Re-
public.
Mr.. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, in collecting Portraits for National Gal
lery, and those which being engraved for this
work are believed to be superior to any that have
been taken In the accomplishment Of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men. Mr. Brady IS
reputation has been too long established to need any
rccomme ndaiion. His dagucrreotypes are in TIE
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
of the living countenance.
The drawings and engravngs OF D'Avignon have
been pronounced by Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and in respects superior to those of the
best artists OF London and Paris and every inn
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision The Typography will be exc
cuted carefully and in superb style the en-
cravings themselves. The entire work will be
the finest imperial folio paper, l6 by % inches, made
expressly for this purpose.
This work has nothing sectional in its scope i,
win therefore be comprehensive in its spirit. The
names of those men only admitted, whose talents
and public services have won for them honorable
fame throughout the nation. Each Of the great de.
partments OF life will have. it's representatives. Art
and Literature are universal in their spirit, and the
Gallery is intended to be worthy and enduring
ument to the great men of the Republic whose
and fame constitute the chief glory Of
the nation. We hope that every lover of Art, and
friend of glorious nion, will respond to our ap
peal for encouragement and aid in commendablc an
that its publication my make an in
he progress of American Art, and by grouping tke
illnsrious OF the Union together, consolidate it
still more firmly.
AS no work Of this kind has appeared in America
and the prices they sustain in Europe would place il
beyond the reach Of most of citizens the publish
ers have resolved to merit large circulation, by
charging very low price. They have, therefore
established the following

PROSPECTUS OF A NEW SERIES OF
The Southern Quarterly Review.

COMMENCED ON THE 1sT OF APRIL, 1850, BY
WALKER q RIcHARps, Proprietors & Publishers.
TERMS-S5.OO per annum, payable in ad-
vance.
The publishers Of the SOUTHERN QUARTERLY
REVIEW beg leave to entreat the attention of the
public to that Work, to return thanks for the in
variable indulgence which has smiled upon its
progress hitherto, and to express the hope that
this countenance will not be withdrawn, now that
the publication, passing from the hands of the
former publisher into their own, makes, as it
were, fresh start in the pursuit of we'll known
PROCESS. They cannot allow themselves to doubt,
that-with all their former contributors, with the
addition OF many new ones, not less valuable and
distinguished--unde the conduct still of Mr.. w
GILMORE SIMMs, its sole Editor during the past
year-and with the assurance which the subscri-
bers now beg leave to give, that the work will be
| herceforward issued in style very superior to
that Of the past, on better paper, with fine new
| type, and with regard to neatness and finish,
which will leave it second to none in the country
they will continue to receive that patronage which
thsir own endeavor and the claims of such an or
gan seem reasonably to demand.
The writers for the REVIEW include the greater
number Of the best and ablest names of the
country. They represent the highest literary
talent of the South, and reflect truly, with ma
tive earnestness, force, and fidelity, the real pol
icy and the peculiar institutions Of our section.
We entreat the people of the South, who feel
the importance of such a periodical as the Review,
| to excuse its deficiencies, and generously lend
| themselves to its assistance. With their coun,e-
nance and concurrence, it can become the estab-
lished organ Of domestic opinion--the champion
of our rights and character abroad-the guide and
counsel to intellectual progress and proper taste
at home-the arena in which the better minds of
| the country may always distinguish themselves,
and find the proper provocaton to execution and
| performance-the wholesome authority to which
| we may always turn for the correction and re-
straint Of crude and undigested speculation These
are all objects of the last necessity to a civilized
| people, who have anything to gain by enterprise,
or any thing to lose by remissness and ndffer-
ence. Once more, We ask from the patrons of the
Review, indulgence for the past, and such sym.
pathy and support for the future, as are due to the
vital interests which it faithfully serves, and the
character which it seeks to establish.
