LEONARD Scorr & Co.'S Reprints of

to be informed of the opinions of the lead
ing English writer's i'll the various circles
which these magazines represent. The
best talent in England is employed upon
them, and although the circulation of some
of them is actually less in Great Britain
than in the United States they are, to :,
certain extent, the organs of the advanced
opinions within their several spheres of
influence, corresponding in some degree
with the gradations of American senti-
ment in religion, philosophy, and states

of profound thought comparatively I'M
known to our literature, and pursue al
stract and practical Investigations to a
point seldom attempted by American crit

them the more valuable to Us, as a study
which develops the radical diversity in the
mental methods of John Bull and Brother
Jonathan study which cannot be close
