OWING to the late revolutions and counter-rcvo
~ lutions among the nations OF Europe, which hav
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, dsjointed and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the eabo-
rate and ponderous eatses TO be furnished by the his
toran at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention to
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they offered to subscribers. The following is
their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW,
BLACKwOOD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
