The yic5t and importan, events-ssea 20,
liiical, and Milltary-now asitatng the nations OF
the Old World, give TO these Publications an IN
terest and value they never before possessed
They occupy middle ground between the hasti,
ly written newsiiems, crude speculaiions, and
flying rumors Of the newspaper, and the ponder9us
Tome Of the historian, written long aiier The NV,
ing interest in the facts he records shall have passed
away. The progress of the War in the East &C.
cupies large space in their pages. Every mover
ment is closely criticised, whether OF friend or o
foe and all shortcomings feailessly pointed out.
The letters from the Crimea and from the Bal.
tic in Blackwood's Magazine, from two Of It's
most popular contributors, give more ineligible
and reliable account Of the movements OF the
great begerents than can elsewhere be found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three
great political parties Of Great Britain A. Wing,
Tory, and Radical, but politics forms only one
feature OF their character. As Organs OF the most
profound writers on Science, Literature, Morality,
and Religion, they stand, they ever haze stood,
unrivalled In the world Of letters, being consider
ed indispensable TO the scholar and rhcAprotess-
ioual man, while TO the intelligent reader onevery
class they furnish more correct aud ssiisL e,ory
record of the current literature ofthe day, through
on, the world, than can be possibly obtained from
