Contemporary Literature
This is one of the series of Four Reviews
which have been republished here, without
abridgement Or alteration, for more than
quarter Of century by the above named
house. These Reviews still hold the highest
rank in periodical literature, notwithstanding
the efforts Of younger competitors The in
ducements to scholars, and the entire reading
community to take the whole seriesare almost
irresistible. The opinions of the leading
thinkers on either side of debatable questions,
whether in theology, metaphysics, science, or
politics, are here recorded The high Tory
prejudices of the London Quarterly are coun-
seracted by the Republication of the Westmin-
ster; and the Church and State principles OF
that Review and of the Edinburgh find an
able opponent in the British Quarterly. The
subscription is comparatively trifing; the sub
scriber to the four gets them at only So apiece,
much cheeper than the copies can be imported
and he has the additional satisfaction of en-
coursging American labor in their reproduc-
ton here.
