BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE,

AND THE ....
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Owing to the late revolutions and counter revolutions
~ among the NATIONS of Europe, which have followed
each other in such quick succession, and of which " The
end Is not y the leading periodicals Of Great Britain
have become invested with degree of interest hitherto
unknown. They occupy middle ground between the
hasy dioned and necessarily imperfect records of the
newspapers and the elaborate and ponderous treaties to
be furnished by the historian at future day. Whoever
reads these periodicals obtains and connected
count of all tho important political events OF the Ole
World as they occur and learns the various conclusions
drawn from them by the leading spirits of the age The
American publishers therefore deem proper to call
newed attention to the works they publish and the very
low prices 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 and
BLACKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE
In these periodicals contained the views deraely
though clearly and firmly expressed of the three greatest
parties in Bngland-Tory, Wing and Radical Black
burgh Review" Wing, and the s'Westminster Review
Liberal. The North British Review" owes its establish
last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
ultra In its views any of the grand de
parments Of human knowledge Itwas originally edtet
by Dr. Chalmers and now since his DEATH is conducted
by his sonnIaw, Dr. Hanna, associated with Sir Davit
Brewster Its literary character is of the hgbes
title only is published in England under the title of the
Foreign Quarterly and Westminster" 1t being in fact
union of the two Reviews formerly and reprinted
under separate titles 1t has, therefore, the advantage by
this combination of uniting in work the best features
of both, heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals reprntedin New York imme-
diately their arrival by the British steamers in beau
fu clear type on fine white paper and are faithful
