lFEOF JOHN RANDOLPH OF ROANOKE
IL BY Hugh A. Garland Two volumes l2mo.
Portraits; so 50.
= MIR. Garland has given us daguerrec'ype of
n character more eccentric and variable than IRA

choice historical reading. "-[ Republic.
The biography of Randolph has greater charm
than the most exciting fiction. - Charleston yfer
.c,uy
I" good life of this remarkable man has n
peeh Desired. MIR. Garland has furnished an ex
tremely readable book; the two volumes not onlv
contain the history of his life, and ANALYSIS of his
character, but an interesting account of the poll
tics and the public men of the day ~ Crescent.
Since kennedy's life of William Writ, we
have had no biography, certainly no American BIZ.
ography, which will at all compare in interest with
this work. 1t must be read by multitudes with in
tense interest. - -Neicark Daily .qduertiser
Mr.. Garland has made good use of his mare
rial, and has given striking and accurate por
traiture Of the erratic and brilliant subject of his
pen. "-[ .Ns,D Orleans Delta
ms book fills blank in the biographical no.
tees or distinguished Americans. The two VOL
umes gives us a faithful account Of his whole ca
reer, an analysis of his celebrated speeches. &c -
philadelphia Enquirer.
AS biography, it is marked by directness
and unity Of purpose, and by comprehensiveness
and variety of manner. ~ Boston Post.
" 1t is one of the most interesting American BIZ
ographies with which We are acquainted - Epe

:. The work is written in on easy and beautiful
style, and is replete with striking passages. The
author is intimately acquainted with American
literature, and the great men who, at different
times, have played a distinguished part in the
drama of the Republic. 1t forms valuable add.

WOODS MAGAZINE
AND THE tt
BRITISH QUARTERLY REVIEWS.
Premiums to New Subscribers

AWING to the late revolutions and counterrevo-
~ lutions among the nations OF Europe, which have
followed each other in quick succession, and OF which
the end is not yet" the leading periodicals of Great
Britain have become invested with degree of inter
est hitherto unknown. They occupy middle
ground butween the hasty, disointed and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the elabo-
rate and ponderous t-eases to be furnished by the his
torian at future day The American Publishers,
therefore, deem il 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,
BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.
In these periodicals contained he views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing and Ra-
dical-f' Blachwood and the &c London Quarterly y
are Tory the "Ednburgh Review" Wing and
the " Westminster Review y Liberal The g North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland and is not
ultra in its views on any one Of the grand depart
ments Of human knowledge; it was originally edited
by DIR. Chalmers, and now, since his DEATH is con-
Quoted by his son-in-law DR. Hanna associated with
Sir David Brewster Its literary character is Of the
very highest order. The "Wcstminstcf," though
reprinted under that title only, is published in Eng
land under the title of the g Foreign Quarterly and
Westminster - it being in fact union OF the two
Reviews formerly published and reprinted under sepa-
rate titles ii has therefore the advantage by this
combination of uniting in work the best features
of both heretofore issued.
