and of which "the end is notyet," the leading pers

degree of interest hitherto unknown. They
cupy middle grL and between the hasty, disoint
ed, and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the elaborate and ponderous treases
be furnished by the historian at n future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem il 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 contained the views mod
crately, though clearly and firmly expressed of the
three great parties in Englnnd-Tory, Wing, and
Radical. " "Blackwood'' and the 60 London uar
terly'' are Tory; the edinburgh Review" Wing;
and the " Westminster Review Liberal. The
North British Review it's establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
and is not ultra in it's views any of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since hia
DEATH is conducted by his son-n-law, DIR. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is oftke very highest order. The "West-
minister, though reprinted under that title only, is
published in England under the title of the 90 For
