THE EDINBURGH REVIEW

is the exponent of the Wing party in Great Britain,
having from its commencement advocated Freedom
and the rights of the people. When the war, aP-
parentlY of determination, was waged against
France by British Tory rulers, and during which
occurred the second great struggle of England
with our own country, this Review first unfurled
the flag of resistance, made by its unanswerable
and eloquent appeals in behAlfof iuaienable rights
the halls Of legislation and even the throne itself
to temble. The graphic and stirring deleneations
Of those events presented in the pages OF that dis
tinguished Journal exhibit the truest PortFature Of
those pcrilous days to be found, perhaps, in the
Language. It's influence was becoming so apparent,
that at length the leaders of the Tory party, at
whom the thunders of its eoquence were especial
ly directed found il too powerful an instrument to
be resisted by ordinary means, and hence they es-
tablishej the Quarterly" or as it is distinguished
among the American Reprints,
, 1852-12-25

Sustained, then ,as these distinguished works are
and ever have been, BY the highest order Of scho-
lasic ability and political sagaciy. we need not be
surprised to find them occupying such a proud
pTe-emince among the literary production of the
world; ; and the neglect Of their high claims upon
the consideration Of all classes Of the ntegeot
community, would necessarily argue a correspond
ing Indifference to the great interests Of the com

TNHESE periodicals are the critical censors Oi

their criticisms they aid readers in the selection Of

magazines connot supply for they discuss topics
relating more strictly to the aiiirs, political, reli-
gious, scientific and literary, of the continent Of

Great Britain and are engaged with the most i'm

The value Of this medicine is now widely
known, and every day the field Of its usefulness is
extended. 1t is approved and highly recommend
ed by physicians, and admitted to be the most
powerful and searching preparation from the root
that has ever been employed in medical practice
Its operation extends to the Temotest parts Of the
system, and consists in removing diseased action
in the absorbing and secreting organs. In man
Nature seldom effects, unassisled, the cure Of any
yirulent disease, but requires the aid of stmuant
Alternative, or antseptic medicine In diseases Of
the skin and flesh, a combination Of these three
classes Of medical agents is highly desirable. AL
these properties are combined in this preparation
and instead Of operating successfully upon the
system, as they must necessarily do when taken
separately, they operate simultaneously, and il
perfect harmony when administered in this form
Its tonic property strengthens the digestion, ant
improves the appetite, Its alternative tendency
carries of the accumuatons Of morbid matter
and its antisepte influence neuiralizes the virus
by which the disease is fostered. Its uniform sue
cess in curing and relieving the various diseasei
for which it is recommended, is established BY
multitude ol facts.

THE LONDON oTARTELY REVIEW


whereby to counteract that influence which its pow
erfu rival eIerted against their measures. The
two great political parties thus made strenuous eff
forts through their respective orgahs for the pro-
mitigation ofiheir antagonist principles and dur
ing a long series of years, these two leading Peri
odicals have concentrated the labors, the talent,
and the influence Of the adherenIs Of the Wing and
Tory parties Of Great Britain.
Men Of the highest literary rank, as dignitaIies
civil and ecclesiasc, have contributed to the pages
of these works; among them might be mentioned
some Of the most Tesplendent names on the scroll
Of fame. Among the regular contributors to the
London Quarterly Review were Southey, Scott
Lockhart Its present editOr), Appearson. Fergu-
son, Wordsworth, Lord Mahan, DR.. Milman Whose
articles on Oriental literature have been highly
esteemed and that wonderful women Of science
Mrs. SomeryilIe, with many others scarcely less
celebrated. Then again in the Edinburgh Review,
il is enough to mention the following names, any
one which it might be associated we refer to
Jeffieys. Napier, BroughAm, Macintosh, and
McCaulsy the first Of whom during his long con.
ne1ion with the Review actually wrote, on the Av-
erage one third Of the articles that graced its bril-
liant pages; while the universally admired essays

LIVER COMPLAINT AND SALT RHEUM.
New York, July 27, Is49.
Messrs. A. B. & D. Sands Gentlemen: Words
can but feebly express my feelings, in conveying
the pleasing intelligence that my wife is restored
to perfect health by the use Of your invaluable
Sauaparilla. She was afflicted with severe Gu
taneous disease that covered the whole surface of
the body, so that it would have been impossible
to touch any part that was free from the humor
the head face and body were covered with scales
like those of a fish the hair fell out in large
quantities, and walking caused the most excruca-
ting agonies, il affected the joints more severely
than any other part. She suffered lso long time
from an affection or the liver, connected with gen
Cra debility, and prostraton OF the nervous sys-
tenn Physicians, both In Europe and America,
had exhausted the usual remedies, without Affect
ing a cure, or scarcely afording relief; and the
best medical skill was unavailng until she happi-
y used your Sarsaparilla. The disease was pro
nOunced salt rheum, but her whole system, inter-
naly and externally, was altogether deranged but
so complete hos been the cure, after using the
SnrsnParllla for six weeks, and taking in all less
than one dozen bottles, that she enjoys better
health than for years previous to taking the Sar-
'apanlla The object in making this communica-
ton is, that all who have suffered as she has, NAV
know where and to whom to spply for relief land
that not in vain), as a complete cure will be the
result My wife unites with me in heartfelt thanks
and believe me, gentlemen,
