BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Premiums to New Subscribers.

nwING to the late revolutions and counter-rcvo.
~ 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 hasty, dsjoined, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the eabo-
rate and ponderous rstses to be by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper tocal renewed attention
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz s~&r .a. 81 s ..s ~. .ls.'

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-o Blackwood /" and the " London Quarterly {"
are Tory the Edinburgh Review" Whig; and
the " Westminster Review " Liberal. The &C North
British Review owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not
ultra in its views any one OF the grand depart
ments OF human knowledge; it was originally edited
by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is con-
Quoted by his son-n-aw. DIR. 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 y it being in TACT union of the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa
rate titles. 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination Of uniting in work the best features
OF both as heretofore issued. e ..... ..... s..-
