BLACKwOOD's MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews

PREMIUMS TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS!
OWING 20 tho late revolutions and counter revo-
have followed each other in such quick Succession
and of which e end is NOT yet" the leading peri
odicas of Great Britain have become invested with
a degree of interest hitherto unknown. They oc-
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjoipt-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records of the
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treatises
be furnished by the historian at 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. fhe 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 are contained the views mod
erately, though clearly and firmly expressed of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Whig, and
Radical. " Backwood" and the " London Quar-
terly' are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Whig;
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; il was origin
ally edited by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his
DEATH IL conducted by his son-in- law, Dr. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster Its literary
character is Of tie very highest order. The "west
minister" though reprinted under that title only, s
published in England under the title Of the :" For
eign Quarterly and Westminster" IL 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 work the best features Of both heretofore
issued.
The above periodicals are reprinted in New York,
Immediately their arrival by the British steam
ers, in a beautiful clear type, fine white paper
and are faithful copies Of the originals Blackwood's
Magazine being an exact fac simiie Of the Edin-
burgh edition.
