nWING to the late revolutions and counter-revo-
~ lutions among the nations of Europe which have
followed each other in quick succession, and of hch
the end is not yet," the leading periodicals of Great
est hitherto unknown They occupy middle
ground batween the hasty, DISCOUNTED and necessarily
imperfect records of the newspapers, and the eabo-
rate and ponderous trcases to be furnished by the his
torian at future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem 1t proper to call renewed attention
these Periodicals, and the very low price at which
they are 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.

British Review" owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not
ultra in its views on any one o! the grand depart

by DIR. Chalmers and now, since his DEATH is con-
Quoted by his son-in-law, Dr. Hanna associated with
