BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE
And the British Quarterly Reviews
TO NEW sUBscRIBKRs!

AWING to the late revolutionsand counter cvo-
" lutions among the nations of Europe, which
have followed each other in such quick succession,
and ofwhich "Me end is not yet" the leading peri
odcals of Great Britain have become invested with
degree of interest hitherto unknown. They Oc-
cupy middle ground between the hasty, disjoint-
ed, and necessarily imperfect records of the news
papers, md the elaborate and ponderous treats to
be furnished by the historian at u future day. The
American Publishers, therefore, deem it proper to
the very low prices at which they 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 contained the views, mod
crately, though clearly and firmly expressed of the
three great parties in England--Tory, Wing, and
Radical. " Blackwood" and the " London Quar-
ter!y" are Tory; the Edinburgh Review" Wing;
and the Westminster Review" Liberal. The
North British Review" owes its establishment to
the last great clcsiastcal movement in Scotland,
and is not ultra in its views any of the grand
departments ofhuman knowledge; it was origin
ally edited by DR.. Chalmers, and now, since his
associated with Sir David Brewster. Its literary
character is oftfe very highest order. The "West-
minister, " though reprinted under that title only il
published in England under the title Of the :" For
eign Quarterly and Westminster" it being, in
fact, union ofthe two Reyiews formerly published
fore, the advantage by this combination Of uniting
in one work the bestfeatures of both heretofore
issued.
The above periodicalsare reprintedin New York,
Immediately on their arrival by the British steam
ers. in beautiful clear type, on fine white paper
and faithful copies of the originals, Blackwoods
