BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE,

BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Owing to the late revolutions and counterrevolutons
" among the narions of Europe which have followed
each other in such quick succession and Of which tie
end is not ye" the leading periodicals Of Great Britain
have become invested with degree OF interest hitherto
unknown. They occupy middle ground between the
hasy ointed and necessarily imperfect records of the
newspapers and the elaborate and ponderous treaties to
be furnished by the historian at future day. Whoever
these periodicals obtains correct and connected
count of all the important political events Of the Old
World they and learns the various conclusions
drawn from them by the leading spirits of the age The
American publishers therefore deem it 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, 81 ".rN .".
.. THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW,
Fig THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, and
BLAcKwooDs EDINBURGH MAGAZINE
In these periodicals contained the views moderately
though clearly and firmly expressed of the three greatest
parties in England-Tory, Wing, and Radical; Black
wood" and the London Quarterly" Tory the " Edn
burgh Review" Wing, and the westminster Review"
Liberal The North British Review" owes its establish
ment the last ecclesiastical In Scotland
not ultra in its views of the grand de-
partments of human knowledge twas originally edited
by Dr. Chalmers and now, since his DEATH is conducted
by his son-naw, Dr. Hanna associated with Sir David
Brewster Its literary character is of the very highest
title only published in England under the title of the
Foreign Quarterly and Westminster" Ii being in fact
union Of the Reviews formerly published and reprinted
under separate titles 1t has therefore, the advantage by
this combination of uniting in work the best features
of both, as heretofore issued.
The above Periodicals reprintedn New York, imme-
daely their arrival by the British steamers in beau
tiful clear type, fine white paper and faithful
pies of the Magazine being
