however trite, also, may be the remark, it is not

LIVER COMPLAINT AND SALT RHEUM.
New York, July 27, Is49.
Messrs. A. D. & D. Sands-Gentlem 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
Sarsaparilla. She was afflicted with a severe Gu
laneous disease that covered the whole surface Of
the body, 50 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 FISH A.; the hair fell out in large
quantities, and walking caused the most excrueia-
ting agOnies, as il affected the joints more severely
than any other part. She suffered also long time
from affection or the liver, connected with gen
6ra debility, and prostration Of the nervous sys-
tenn Physicians, both In Europe aud America,
had exhausted the usual remedies, without affect
ing q cure, or scarcely affordng relief; and the
best medical skill was unavaing, until she happi-
ly used your Sarsapara. The disease was PRO
nouneed salt rheum, but her whole system, inter
naly and externally, was altogether deranged but
50 complete has been the cure, after using the
Sarsaparla for six weeks, and taking in all less
than dozen bottles, that she now enjoys better
health than for years previous to taking The Sar-
saparila. The object in making this communica-
uon is, that ell who have suffered as she has, NAV
know where and to whom to apply Tor relief (aud

result. My wife unites with me in heartfelt thanks
and believe me, gentlemen.

descnbed-but is, nevertheless, destined to occupy
as prominent place in the Republic Of Letters.
The great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland
led to its establishment, There was no Journal in
the United Kingdom, which appeared to meet the
necessities Of the Anti National Church agitation
Indeed, the revolution caused by the disruption
induced new state of things, placing the actors
in new positions of observation; nor could thoy
give uterance to their new perceptions ofState and
Church Polcy-their new symathies-their new
emotions, without some organ of thought than any

the great master minds among them, in the neces-
sity Of new outlet Of opinion, and the immediate
creation of the North British Review. The basis
OF this Journal is the Evangelism Of the Nineteenth
century; nor is it to be overlooked as one Of the
striking characteristics Of the tines and the grand
principle which Robertson, Smith, and many of
tho eminent men ofSeotland took the field a centu-

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 Grst unfurled
the flag Of resistance, made by its unanswerable
and eloquent appeals in behalf of nalicnabe rights
the halls Of legislation and even the throne itself
to Iemble. The graphic and stirring deleneatons
Of those events presented in the pages Of that dis
tingushed Journal exhibit the ruest port'ailuTe Of
those peHlous days to be found, perhaps, in the
language. It's influence was becoming so apparent,
that at length the leaders of the Tory party, al
whom the thunders Of its eloquence were especial
ly directed found it too powerful on instrument to
be resisted by ordinary means, and hence they es.

whereby to counlerac that influence which its pow
eful rival exerted against their measures. The
two great political parties thus made strenuous ef
forts through their respective organs, for the pro-
mitigation Of their antagonist principles and dur
ing a long series Of years, these two leading Pei
odcals have concentrated the labors, the talent,
and the influence Of the adherents CT fthe Wing and
Tory parties of Great Britain.
Men Of the highest literary rank, as dignitaIies
civil and eecesastic, have contributed te the pages
of these works; among them might bo mentioned
some Of the most resplendent names on the scroll
of fame. Among the regular contributors to the
London Quarterly Review were Southey, Scott,
Loekhah (its present editor), Appearson, Fergu-
son, Woodwork, Lord Mahan, DR.. Milman (whose
articles on Oriental literature have been highly
esteemed } and that wonderful women Of science,
Mrs. Someville, with many others scarcely less
celebrated. Then again in the Edinburgh Review,
it is enough to mention the following names, any
one which II might be associated I'VE refer to
Jeifrcys. Napier, Broughsm, Macintosh, and
McCaulay the first Of whom during his long con-
nexion with the Review actually wrote, on the av,
eage one third of the articles that graced its bril-
liant pages; while the universally admired essays

and the parent country, leave us in no manner of
doubt as to their great intrisic merit.

tronage and support Of the ura-liberas, so styled
Of the British House Of Commons; among whom
Ro wbuek, Mill, Dowring, Professor Long Of the
London University, Miss Marineau, and others
names need not be quoted, conspieuously figured.
II was for some years under The editorial supervi-
sion Of Jeremy Bentham, for which fact it Obtained
the sobhquet Of the mouth-piece of Benlhanism.-
This work has ever been especially devoted to the
great topics which interest the mass Of the people
its pages has been rife, it will be remembered with
series Of powerful articles, tending to the rcduc.
ton Of Tory and exclusive privileges, hereditary
rights, kingly prerogatves, &c. The astounding
developments made few years since, respecting
the wretched and then, unheard Of horrors Of some
branches Of the mining population of England,
first appeared in It's pages. Not only have its ar
eles ever been directed against the aforo-menti9n.
ed abuses the work has also maintained an unre-
lenting crusade against the alliance Of Church and
State, thus virtually seeking to abolish the Par
hamentary Religion" of England, and eventually
to remove the still oxsiting marks Of feudalism,
which continue TO afllict the British nation, ItI
has recently become the medium through which
Golden promulgates his Free trade doctrines.
which will give it increased interest to the numer-
admirers here and elsewhere, Of that great Re
former. In many particulars the Westminster Re
view espouses political faith closely allied 10 that
Of our own country and therefore we may, with.
out any extraordinary effort of charity, be induced
10 cherish it exortic worthy Of being engraf-
ed into our moro genial soil. II has recently been
united with the Foreign Quarterly Review, the
more attractive features Of the two Reviews being
now combined in the Westminster, and thus ad
ding greatly 10 its value as literary periodical.
