| pf An
the last numbers of the EDISBuRoH and the WEST
a,ssrER REVIEWS, re.published by Leonard, Scot
& Co., New York.
The Magazine, and the Reviews are unusually IN
teresting and contain articles much superior TO AM
which we have seen in the reviewa for several years
Tn the Westminster we would particularly com
mend the article on "English Courts OF Law, "ih'
Life of George Stephenson" and "French Polltlos
Past and Present" There is one most atrocloui
abolition article in it entitled manifest Destiny
the United States which is 30 silly and fallaclous
however, as to be positively entertaining. Like al
suob articles in the English Reviews, b 10 by SOM
New England villifyer of his country. some Bensdio
Arnold Of the literary world.
In the Edinburgh Review, our readers will hnd IN
article on "The License Of Modern Novelists," II
which the "Ciroumlocution Office" and "rite Bar
nacIe.," and the "Lieut Austens' OF England, repi
to Dickens, and that rising star Reade the author
"psp Wellington" and other successful novels. BE
sides this much talked of article, the articles upo
"Marmonts Memoirs" "Merivales Romans under IN
Empire" "Social Progress in ireland" and "Kepre
sentative Reform" are admirable.
Rsokwood contains the third instalment OF bu
wer's last novel, capital article on "Gen. Charlie
Napiers campaign in India" and many other no
articles and tales.
