PREMIUMS TO NEW sUBscRIBERei
Owing to the late revolution5and counter revo-
" lutions among the nations of Europe which
have followed each other in such quick succession.
and OF which the end is not yet" the leading perS
odicals of Great Britain have become invested with
degree of interest hitherto unknown They oc
cupy middle gi, and between the hasty, disjont
ed, and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the eaborateand ponderous reatises TO
be furnished by the historian at a future day The
American Publishers therefore deem it proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they offered TO
subscribers. The following is their list, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
TIE EDINB URGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACh WooD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views mod
eratey, though clearly and firmly expressed of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing, and
Radical. 90 Blackwood'' and the % London Quar-
tcrly'' are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Wing;
and the Westminster Review Liberal. The
Z" North British Review" owes its establishment to
the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
and is not ultra in its views on any of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; il was origin
ally edited by DIR. Chalmers, and now since his
DEATH is conducted by his son-in-law Dr. Hanna
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character ia ofthe very highest order The "Wesi-

GODEY'S LADY's BOOK FOR 1851.
Increase of Reading, Matter!

TINE LADY'S BOOK for the ensuing year will
IL present many novel features suited to the ad-
vancing demands of the public taste. 1t has ever
been the object of the publisher to take the lead
among the popular Magazines of this country; and
the host of imitators, who have been constantly
distinguishing after him in van''-are sufIi
cent to attest his brilliant success. The prompt
ness with which every new idea that he suggests is
adopted by others, is sufficient reason for his not
being very explicit and exact in his promises of
what Ia yet to come. He does not wish to lay out
plans for others to follow. tbs sufficient, however,
to say that oil the existing popular features of the
LADY's Book will be retained, and many new ones,
particularly attractive in Lady's Book and Fam-
ly Magazine, will be introduced The useful and
the elegant will always be kept in view.
To the Magazines alone we must look for the
illusions of the master minds of Literature. 1t is
useless TO publish list of names-sufiice it TO say
that we have published articles, and have others to
publish from all the best american oriters, male and
female.
Godey's Lady's Book for January, 1852, will con-
tain in addition to the most beautiful and
engravings-three Of tohich colored-an addi
tional quantity of reading by American authors.
There is question about the fact, and the tens of
thousands of notices that we have from the con-
temporary press will establish it, that il is the most
magnifc periodical in the tpOridl
The publisher will give twelve numbers for 1852
that the London Arts Union would be proud of,
and their price is ten dollars year.
1t must be observed that the LApY's Book caters
to the taste of the American Ladies. 1t furnishes
them with every thing that can interest Lady
and among others is the following
GODEY'S RELIABLE FASHION PLATES,
MONTHLY,
with full descriptions besides chit-ch upon the
Fashions every month; giving full explanations of
