The British Periodicals re-published are as fol-
lows, viz

The EDIsBuRcn REVIEW (Whig),
The NoRrH BRrrIsH REVIEW Free Church),
The WEsTmuNsrER REVIEW Lberal.)
BLAcKwooD's EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
Although these works are distinguished by the
political shades above indicated, yet but small
portion oftheir contents is devoted to political sub
ects. 1t is their literary character which gives
them their chief value, aud in that they stand con.
fessedly far above all other journals ofther class.
Biack,Uood, still under the mastery guidance of
Christopher North, maintains it's ancient celebrity,
and is, at this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works Of Buwer and other literary notables,
written for that magazine, and first appearing IN
its columns both in Great Britain and in the United
States. Such works as "The Caxtons" and "My
| New Novel; (both by Bulwer) "My PenDsular
Medal, ""The Green Hand" and other serials,
of which numerous rival editions are issued by the
leading publishers in this country, have to be ref
| printed by those publishers from the pages o.
Blackwood, after it has been issued by JMesrs. Scot
& Co.. so that subscribers to the reprint of that
| Magazine may always rely on having the earliest
reading of these fascinating tales.
