followed each other in quick succession, and Of which
the end is not yst" the leading periodicals OF Great
Britain have become invested with degree OF inter
est hitherto unknown They occupy middle
ground batween the hasty, dsjointed and necessarily
imperfect records Of the newspapers, and the elabo
rate and pondcrous reases to be furnished by the his
toran at a future day. The American Publishers,
therefore, deem it proper to call renewed attention ia
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,

In these periodicals are contained he views, mode
rately, though clearly and firmly expressed, of the
three great parties in England--Tory, Wing and RAJ

are Tory the C Edinburgh Review" Wing; and
the " Westminster Review D Liberal. The C North
British Review " owes its establishment to the last
great ecclesiastical movement Scotland and is not

by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since his DEATH is con-
