And the British Quarterly Reviews.

PREMIUMS TO NEW
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 "Me end is not yet," the leading peri
odicals of Great Britain have become invested with
degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle gr, and between the hasty, disIoipt-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records Of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous teatises TO
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem II proper To
call renewed attention TO these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they are offered 10
subscribers. The following is their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWODD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals src contained the views, mod
crately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing, and
Radical. " Backwood" and the H London Quar-
terly" are Tory; the edinburgh Review" Wing;
and the g w Westminster Review" Liberal The

not so. The people Of Virginia are true to
