THE GREAT BRITISH QUARTERLIES
Il AND BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.

Important reduction in the rates of post
age! LEONARD SCOTT & Co., No. "a,
Gold street, New York, continues to publish
the following British Periodicals, viz:
The London Quarterly review, (Conser-
vative,)
The Edinburgh Review, (Whig,)
The North British Review, Free Church, J
The Westminster Review, liberal, and
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Glory. J
Those Reprints have now been in sue
cessful operation in this country for twenty
years, and their circulation is constantly
on the increase, Notwithstanding the COM
petition they encounter from American pc
riodicals of similar class, and from nu-
merous Eclectcs ahd Magazines made up
of selections from foreign periodicals.
This fact shows clearly the high estimation
in which they are held by the intelligent
reading public, and affords guarantee
that they are established on firm basis,
and will be continued without interruption.
Although these works are distinguished
by the political shades above indicated, yet
but small portion of their contents is de-
voted to political subjects. 1t is their
literary character which gives them their
chief value, and in that they stand con-
fessedly far above all other journals of
their class. Blackwood, still under the
mastery guidance of Christopher North,
maintains it's ancient celebrity, and is at
this time, unusually attractive from the
serial works of Bulwer and other literary
notables, written for that magazine, and
first appearing in its columns both in Great
Britain and the United States. Such works
as &c The Caxtons" and My New Novel -
both by Bulwer, "My Peninsular Medal, %
6 The Green Hand" and other serials, of
which numerous rival editions are issued
by the leading publishers in this country
have to be reprinted by those publishers
from the pages of Blackwood, after it has
been issued by Messrs. Scott & Co., so that
subscribers to the reprint of that Magazine
may always rely on having the earliest
reading of those fascinating tales.
NJ Remittances and communications
should be always addressed, post paid, to

MIR. freeman Hunt.-SIR: owe you many thanks
for the opportunities have had to the Merchants

zine, and that well relenished of all the useful
matter which the title would imply, and presented
with fulne>s and clearness which delights while il
instructs. 1t is in fact, merchants magazine in
the large acceptation of the term-merchants who 60
between nations, whose large operations bring many
departments of knowledge and view of the state IF
the world, into daily requisition But it is not the
great merchant only, but the of more modest,
but. nevertheless, of most useful operations-the
gazine to abound with the information, the pursuit
OF his business and the elevation of the mercantile
character requires Nor it's utility at all confined
to merchants, but extends to the legislator and plo
matist, and to all who charged with mana ging
the affairs of the nation. For myself, have found
it most useful to me in my senatorial labors, and
have been in the habit for many years of Carefully
consulting it.
Very respectfully, sir, your obedient servant
THOMAS II. BENTON.
