BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Premiums to New Subscribers.

OWING to the late revolutions and counterrcvo-
" 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, dsonted, and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the eabo-
rate and ponderous catses to be furnished by the his
toran at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it 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,
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained he views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-1ory, Wing and Ra-
dical-" Blackwood and the &c London Quarterly y
are Tory the &c Edinburgh Review y Wing and
the " 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 o. the grand depart
ments of human knowledge IL was originally edited
by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his death is con-
Quoted by his son-n-aw. Dr. Hanna, associated with
Sir David Brewster. Its literary character is OF the
very highest order. The " w estminstei," though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title Of the Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster y it being in fact union of the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted uHder sepa
rate titles. II has therefore the advantage by this
combination of uniting in work the best features
OF both as heretofore issued

At The lo,u price OF ONE DOLLAR per ann,tn,
5 the cheapest weekly newspaper south Of the
i Potomac, and as cheap as any in the Union.
Thus paper is made up chiefly from the Daily
Dispatch, consisting Of the entertaining and
news matter of that sheet, and carefully selected
light literature and poetry.
HuGH K. PLEAsANrs, Principal Editor.
II is designed to make it equal to any Weekly
sheet in the Union for its general interest. In
tone and sentiment, it is Southern-its conductors
are Virginans, and they hope to merit and re-
ceive the encouragement of their felIow-cit7ens
They enter upon no mere speculation in their en-
terprize, nor are their views and opinions shaped
merely to catch the popular breeze. From edu-
cation, from position, from association, from in
terest, from choice, they are Southern men. Their
defence Of Southern rights is a defence of them
selves and all they hold dear;-that it has been
warm unremitting, and far as their capacity al
lowed, vigorous, no man who has read their sheet
will deny. To doubt that it will continue to be
so is to presume that the principles and ideas
which have been instiled into them from their
birth, can be eradicated, at period of life when
men rarely change their views They, at least,
know it to be impossible.
G5The low price at which the paper is pub
lished requires that the subscription be paid al
pays in adrance.
