EHWING to the late revolutions and the coun-
" ter-revoiutioDs amon1 the nations of En-
rope, which have followed each other in quick
succession, and of which ssthe end is not vet q
the leading periodicals of Great Britain have
become invested with degree of interest hith-
erto unknown. They occupy middle ground
between the hasty, disiointed and necessarily
imperfect records OF the newspapers, and the
elaborate and ponderous treatises to be furnish
ed by tha historian at future day. Whoever
reads these periodicals obtains a correct and
connected account of al the important political
events Of the Old World. as they occur and
learns the various conclusions drawn from them
by the leading spirits OF the age. The AmeTi-
can publishers, therefore, deem it proper to cal
renewed attention to the works they re-publish
and the low prices at which they are offered to
subscribers. The following is their list, viz:
The london Quarterly Review,
The Edinburg Review,
The North British Review,
The Westminster Review,
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine.
In these periodicals are contained the views
moderately, though clearly and firmly express
ed, of the three great parties in England-Io-
~, Whig and RadicaI-fsB sBlaclSwoodo and the
.!Toudoa Quarterly, are Tory; the edinburgh
Reyiew'' Whig; and the s.Westminister Re-
view . Liberal The esNorth British Review
owes its establishments the last great ecclesi-
astical movement in Scotland, and is not ultra
in its views on any one grand department of
human knowledge; il was originally edited by
DIR. Chalmers; and now, since his death, is con-
dueted by his son-fn-iaw, DR.. Hanna, associa-
ted with Sir David Brewster. It's literary char

ster,'7 though reprinted under that title only, is
published in London under the title of the For

lfshed and printed under separate titles. 1t has,
