REVUE DE8 DEUX HOITDEt.
IV ou veils Period avcc 1> Collaboration dee
Sommites Littoraires et Scientiflques, de
la Prance et dcs pays Strangers.
Published oil the first and fifteenth of every month.
Each number contains 176 pages, 8vo., at $12 60
per annum.
% The Revue des Deux Mondea has been formed
for the purpose of establishing iui intercourse in
the intellectual pursuits the most followed between
distinguished men of Europe and America. It is
proposed in this collection to give a prominent
place to the affairs of the American Union, to the
labors of its politicians, and to the Literary and
Scientific publications of its Authors. The Revue
dcs Deux Mondrs now makes a public appeal to
American Authors and Editors, by sending to it,
through Mr. Putnam, of New York, a copy of each
of their publications. The Revue is in a better position
than any other organ in Europe to serve as
an intellectual link between the Old and the New
World, which has as Editors and Contributors the
most eminent political, scientific, and literary men
of France. Many of its contributors have visited
North and South America, and it still counts among
them many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps.
Each number ol the Revue, in addition to its articles
signed by the first names of France, contains, under
the title of" Chronique de la Quinxaine," a historical
summary of the principal events of the political
world, which will certainly be, for the American,
the most faithful picture of the European movements.

THK KNICKERB(KKJCH HAUAZ1NE.
Ktilted by Lewie Uaylurd Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
England, 'the beat magazine in America.' It
has nearly reached its thirty-fourth volume, and in
its list of upward of a hundred contributori are found
the names of every distinguished writer, male and
female, in America, with several equally prominent
of Great Britain, Turkey, Swedeu, etc. A new
volume, containing a superb engraving, a portrait
qf the editor vngraved by Chenev, from a painting
by Elliott, will commence on the first day of July,
ltJ49. The following notices of the Knickebbockeb
arc from the American and English press, aud from
American and British writers or distinction.
'The Knick^bbockeb.?The last number of this
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and Deautiful type, in ail its departments;
and in its rich and diversified contents,
continues to vindicate its reputation as the most
agreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
the United States. When we first started the old
'New Yorker,'our friend Clabk had preceded us
as Editor of the Kmickebbockeb about a twelvemonth:
it has now reached an age greatly beyond
+ at.n A inAm'nan MoniKlw a fafi urhiVh li />!*
ally 'spealca volume*' in praise of the manner in
which the work ha* been conducted. No number
of the K. has ever been issued under Clark's supervision
that did not bear indubitable evidence of editorial
care, and anxious thought, and well-directed
labor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe, so thoroughly
edited, in the strictest sense of the term.'?New
York Daily 'lYibune.
'Mathematicians tell us of certain curves called
aeytnptotes, whose peculiarity is always to approach
each other, and yet, even when infinitely extended,
never to intersect. The Knickerbocker, which
has reached an age for a Magazine much greater
than a hundred years for a man, and only to be attained
by a more marvellous miracle, has perpetually
approached the highest possible point ol interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an excel itor,
for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend Clark may
understand?but it is a scaled mystery to us. There
is no publication In the United States'tliat has so attractive
or popular a feature as the Editor's table of
the Knickerbocker.'?Neva York Courier and Enquirer.
We regard it as the very best work of its kind in
the Union.'?St. Alban't (ra.) Journal.
'Its contents are as invariably good as its appearance
is punctual.'?William Cullen Bryant, ?n
the New York Evening Post.
'Its articles are worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
days. The Editor's Table is in Mr. Clark's hap*
picav v^m, vtincn ttnu rwL.y iu a i ciuai im?uh- uvg i w.
?New York Commercial Advertiser.
'The Knickerbocker bc-cihb to iiicrea?c in attraction
as it advances in age. It exhibits a monthly
variety of contributions unsurpassed in number or
ability.'?National Intelligencer.
'The Knickerbocker is one of the most valuable
magazines of the day, and outstrips all competition
in the higher walks of lierature.'?Albany Argus.
"The Editor's Table alone is worth the price of
the work. It is not a periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms a libraryDook to
save and re-read. A set of the Knickerbocker,
bound up in volumes, 011 the shelves of one of our
popular libraries, is more consulted (so the librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work.'?
Boston Daily lYansaript.
President Everett, qf Harford College, late
Minister to England.?*1 peruse the Knickerbocker
with high gratification. It seems to me to be of an
order of merit auite above the average of the periodicals
of this class, English or American.'
Hon. J. K. Pacldino, late Secretary of the Navy.?
'The manner in which the Knickerbocker is conducted,
and the great merit of its contributors, place
it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Paor. Lo ?or el low, Cambridge University.?'The
Knickerbocker stands high in this qpartcr. It is
superior to most of the English magazines, and well
deserves its large list of sutMcribers."
Hon. Robert M. Charlton, Georgia.?'The
Knickerbocker is a work which requires no puffing;
and 1 shall always feel that I am conferring a
favor on those to whom I recommend it.'
The London Examiner.?'This very clever Magazine
is the pleasantest periodical in the United
States. Its articles, which are numerous and short,
various and interesting, are well worthy of imitation
by our Magazines on this side of the Atlantic.'
London Morning Chronicle.?'Judging from
the numbers before us, we are inclined to consider
this the best of all the American literary periodicals.
Its contents are highly interesting, instructive, and
amusing.'
The London Literary Gazette.?'The taste
and talent which the Knickerbocker displays are
highly creditable to American writers, and very
agreeable for English readers.'

' Wf have read aeveral number* of this talented periodical,
and rejoiced in them. They would do
credit to any country or to any state of civilization
to which humanity has yet arrived.'
London Athknjbcm.?'Fruin a very clever
Monthly Magazine,'The Knice erbocker.' of New
York, we copy the following spirited story,' etc.
Sib Edward Bulwer Lytton.?'The Knicker Ocker
is the best American periodical I have yet
seen. I take pleasure in enclosing you an article
which was penned expressly for your work.'
Charles Dickens, esq.?'I read the Knicker ocker
with very gr<-at pleasure: it is indeed a
most various and entertaining periodica). It affonls
me pleasure to contribute to the pages of a work
which numbers among its regular correspondents
such writers as Mr. Irving.'
Rev. Dr. Dick Scotland.?'1 liave read aguod
many of the articles in the few numbers wf the
Knickerbocker which you sent me, and hud them
to posseas great merit. Some of its papers, it is
true, were too light for my serious turn of mind;
yet the whole appears well calculated to gratify the
tastes of the mass of readers.'
('apt. F. Marryatt.?'You make an excellent

good company in which it will find itself.'
