PREMIUMS TO NEW SUBSCRIBERS,
Owing to the late revolutionsand countcrrevo-
~ lutions among the nations Of Europe, which
have followed each other in such quick succ ession,
and OF which the end is not get, the leading peri
odicals Of Great Britain have become invested with
a de gree of intcrrst hitherto unknown. They oc
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjoint-
cd and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, and the caborateand ponderous reatises 10
be furnished by the historian al future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to
call renewed attention to these Periodicals, and
the very low prices 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
In these periodicals con tancd the views, mod
cratcly, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England-Tory, Wing, and
Radical. "Blackwood" and the &" London Quar-
terly" are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" WING;
and the q Westminster Review" Liberal. The
North British Review" owes its establishment 70
the last great ecc lesastical movement in Scotland
and is not ultra in It's views any of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; il was origin
ally edited by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his
death, is conducted by his son-in-law, DR.. Hanna,
associated with Sir David Brewster. lite literary
character is ofttc very highest order. The "Wcst-
Minister " though reprinted under that title only, ia
published in England under the title of the For
eign Quarterly and Westminster" il being, in
fact, union of the two Reviews formerly published
and reprinted under separate titles. IL has, there
fore the advantage by this combination of uniting
in one work the bcstfcaturcso Of both heretofore
Issued.
