We hail the advent of this Quarterly
with much pleasure, and hope that its
sterling merits may succeed in over
coming the constitutional indifference Of
the people of the South to the fate and
fortunes Of reviews and magazines within
their owR borders. There are heaven
knows how mvny cogias of HazPeT'S
Muqa-iHs and the atlantic Monthly sold
in the South, because the publishers can
afford to sell them at price which will
not support : quarterly or monthly

Der of copies of the Northern freebooter
on the high seas Of literature.
This first number Of the -ReUiet0 is
capital one. We have been especially
struck with the articles on 'The Educa-
ton of the Word, which is learned, phil
osophic and eloquent; Mental Philoso-
phy,' 'Stanhepe's I-ife Of Pitt and the
Imprisonment Of Davis The Crafts
mems Associations in France Is inter
esting, as far as it goes; but the writer
has only a partial knowledge Of ancient
secret associations of wOrkmen- in
France,-the Felldeuss, whose ciphers,
signs, words, &C., are in our possession.
The price Of the l5ey.Cl" is s. per an
mum, no more than that Of other Amer
ican quarterlies, and much below its
value. The Southern Quarterly, pub
lished for many years at Charleston,
and Of at least equal merit with the
North american, was very poorly sus-
tained by the public. 1t is to be hoped
that the work now commenced, and
which gives such promise Of excellence,
wiz meet with warmer welcome. III
the South ever means to have litera-
ture of her own, it is time for her to be-
gin to foster 1t: and yet we doubt If the
Southern RoUielc has five subscribers in
Memphis. The North supplies US litera-
ture, as it supplies ehurns and sausage
cutters. OF course it is not TO be ex-
pected that LGea or women will expend
their money in buying Indifferent books
or periodicals, unless they are published
in the North. But the Southern Re
r;eig is more than worth its price, and
does rot .nsed to be pulled into no.

We have read this number Of a very
meritorious book, with pleasure and
profit. The Family Department is
particularly excellent, and We hope the
work is well sustained. The poem,
