1t is required that these plans and estimates

BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Dnn,ninn,a 70 Nelu SnhscIihers

OWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutions among the nations of Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, 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 hasy, onted, and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers and the eabo-
rate and ponderous eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their last, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
TIE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
AND
BLACKWOODS EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained the views, mode
rately though clearly and firmly expressed, OF the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and Ra-
dical-s' Blackwood and the London Quarterly "
are Tory the I" Edinburgh Review " Wing; and
the g Westminster Review" Liberal. TheH North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and not
ultra In its views on any one 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 ssWestminstei,H though
reprinted under thai title only, is published IN Eng
land under the title of the Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster - it being in fact uGion of the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sePa-
rate titles 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination OF uniting in one work the best features
of both as heretofore issued.
