OWING to the late revolutionsand counterrevo-
W lutions among the nations of Europe, which

and of which the end rs not yet, the leading pcri5

degree of interest hitherto unknown. They ocs
cupy middle gT, and between the hasty, disjointl
ed, and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the ella and ponderous treatises
be furnished by the historian at future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they are offered to
subscribers. The following is their list viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINB URGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals ire contained the views, mod
crately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory Wing, and
Radical. sfBlackwood" and the {" London Quar-
terly' are Tory; the Edinburgh Review Wing;
and the GO Westminster Review" Liberal. The
60 North British Review" owes it's establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
and is not ultra in its views any of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his son-in-aw DR.. Hanna
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is oftfe very highest order. The ''West-
minister, though reprinted under that title only ia
published in England under the title of the For
eign Quarterly and Westminster" it being in
fact, union OF the two Reviews formerly published
and.reprnted under separate titles. 1t has, there
fore the advantage by this combination of uniting
in one work the best features of both heretofore
Issued.

Little Il Brown, of Boston, 10 whose enterprise
the reading public has often been indebted for
the most valuable American and foreign books,
propose to publish, by subscription, series of
the English Reports in Law and Equity. This Sc
res will contain all the authoritative decisions of
the House Of Lords the Courts of Equity, the Prvy
Court, the Queens Bench, the Exchcquer, Common
Pleas, &c.
The profession assured that this series will be
the most complete Of any reports now published.
careful examination of the Jtpist and Lar Jour
nal for series Of years dscoses the fact that many
important cases are here reported which arc not
found in the contemporaneous reports Of Meeson &
Welsby, Manning, Granger & Scott Adolphus &
Ellis, and other reporters; and the LdU Journal
alone, during the first seven years Of it's existence,
polished over one thousand cases not then else
where reported.
As TO the character Of the reports of the claw
Journal" and ''Thc Jurist," but little need be
said. In England they are regarded as Of high
authority, and cited with appreciation and re-
spCct in the English courts, and by their most
inent elementary writer's.
They are cited with confidence, and as autho-
rty, in tho judicial opinions of Judge Story, and
other eminent American Judges, and in the writ
ings Of Greenlcaf, Kent, Angel, Phillips Chitty
and others; and, for accuracy, clearnoss and bre-
WITTY are equal TO any English reports now pub
listed.
