BLACKWOOD,S MAGAZINE
AND THE
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS
Dromiums IN Nnw SuhacrihprR

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 yet" the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground between the hasty, dsointed 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 ii 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
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained he views, mode
raely, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in Engand--Tory, Wing and Ra-
dical--e Blackwoodn and the (" London Quarterly y
are Tory the Edinburgh Review" Wing and
the &c 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 any one o. the grand depart
ments of human knowledge it was originally edited
by DIR. Chalmers and now, since his death, Is con-
Quoted by his son-in-law 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 y it being in fact union OF the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa-
rate titles 1t has therefore the advantage by this
combination of uniting in work the best features
of both as heretofore issued.

Society for the Emancipation Of Women" In addition to
expression Of sympathy, this address contained the wish
that the wife Of the honored hero Of the day would commu-

achieve the freedom Of her Madame KossurH replied
that she thanked them heartily for this proof Of their sympa
thy towards herself and through her. particularly to-
wards her country that with respect to her views on
the emancipation Of women she had 10 earlier years confined
herself to the circle Of her domestic Duties and had never
been tempted 10 look beyond and that ery the over

may be regenerated:

On human wrongs triumphant to wage,
And bring anew the glorious golden age

And labor grows attractive in the sound
