owing to the late revolutions and counterrevo-

American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper 10
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices at which they offered to
subscribers. The following is their list, viz:
THE EDINB URGH REVIEW,
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLACKWOODS EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals are contained the views, mod
craely, though clearly and firmly expressed of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing, and
Radical. " Blackwood" and the 20 London Quar-
terly'' are Tory; the Edinburgh Review - Whig
and the 'Westminster Review Liberal. The

the last great clesiastical movement in Scotland
and is not ultra in it's views any of the grand
departments ofhuman know ledge 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 is oftfe very highest order. The "West-
Minister though reprinted under that title only is
published in England under the title of the 90 For
eign Quarterly and Westminster, it being, in
fact, union ofthe two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles. 1t has, there
