MIR. Brady has been many years engaged, at great
expense, IN collecting Portraits Tor National Gal

been taken. In the accomplishment of this great
object he has experienced the utmost courtesy and
encouragement from distinguished men Mr. Brady's
reputation has been too long established to need any
recommendation. His daguerreotypes are In TIE
highest sense the works OF art glowing with the soul
Of the living counicnance.
The dr. wings aud engravings Of DAvignon have
been pronounced 10y Europeans OF taste to be fully
equal and in espects superior to those OF the
best artists OF London and Paris and every i'm
preston in this Gallery will be taken under his i'm
mediate supervision. The Typography will he

BLACK WOODS MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
premi,r,ns IN New Suhacrihers

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 yeto the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree Of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, dsjonted and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and ponderous eatses to be furnished by the his
torian at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem proper to call renewed attention to
these PERIODICALS, and the very low price at which
they are offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
AND
BLACKWCOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained he views, mode
ratcly, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing md RAJ
dical-'. Blackwood y and the {" London Quarterly y
are Tory the &c Edinburgh Review" Wing and
the t" 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 on any one o. the grand depart
ments Of human knowledge; it was originally edited
by DR. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is con-
Quoted by his sonin-iaw, DR. Hanna associated with
Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is Of the
very highest order. The Westminster though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title of the Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster ]" it being in fact union OF the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa-
rate titles IL has therefore the advantage by this
combination of uniting in work the best features
of both as heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals are reprinted in New York
