%* The Revue dea Deux Monties has been formed
for the purpose of establishing an intercourse in
the intellectual pursuits the most followed between
distinguished men of Europe and America. It is
proposed in this collection to jgive 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
dea Deux Mondes now makes a public appeal to
American Authors and Editors, by sending to it,
through Mr. Putnam, of New York, a copy of each
jf their publications. The Revue ia in a better poait

moat eminent political, scientific, and literary men
of Prance. 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 of the Revue, in addition to its articles
signed by the first names of France, contains, under
the title of" Chronique de la Quinzaine," a historical
summary of the principal events of the political
world, whicfi will certainly be, for the American,
the most faithful picture of the European movements.

THIS KNICKKHBOCKKU MAGAZINK.
Kdllrd by Ltwli Gaylord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and j
England, 'the best magazine in America.' It |
has nearly reached its thirty -fourth volume, and in .
its list of upward of u hundred contributor* are found. |
the names of every distinguished writer, male and |
female, in America, with several equally prominent
of Great Britain, Turkey, Sweden, etc. A new |
volume, coutaiuing a superb engraving, a portrait (
qf the editor engraved by Cheney, from a painting
by Elliott, will commence ou the first dayof July,
1849. The following noUccsof the Knickerbocker
are from the Americau and English press, and from
American and British writers or distinction.
'The Knickerbocker.?The last number ot this
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and Beautiful type, in all 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 Clark had preceded us
tkn Ifut/iwHitannirvs aluuit a fu/olvA.
month: it ha* now reached an age greatly beyond
tli&t of any American Monthly; a (act which literally
'speaks 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, ami anxious thought, and well-directed
labor eustamped upon it* page*. We huve known
no monthly, of this country or Europe, no thoroughly
edited, m the strictest sense of tlie term.'?Neu>
York Daily Tribune.
'Mathematicians tell us of certain curves called
aeymptotei, 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 of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an excelsior,
for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is done our friend Clark may
understand?but it is a sealed mystery to us. There
is no publication in the United States that has so attractive
or popular a feature as the Editor's table of
the Knickerbocker.'?New York Courier and Enquirer.
'We regard it as the very best work of its kind in
the Union.'?St. Alban't ( Va.) Journal.
'Its contents are as invariably good as its appearance
is punctual.'?William Cullen Bryant, in
the New York Evening Pott.
'Its articles are worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
days. The Edilor't Table is in Mr. Clark's happiest
vein; varied and racy in a remarkable degree.'
?New York Commercial Advertiser.
'The Knickerbocker seems to increase 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 valuabls
nmnre?inpfl nf ilnv onrl nuMrintt all rnmnplitinn
in iL higher walks of lierature.'?Albany Argus.
"The Editor's Tabic alone is wortii the price of
tlie work. It is not a periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms a library nook to
save and re-read. A set of the Knickerbocker,
bound up in volumes, on the shelves of one of our
popular libraries, is mure consulted (so the librarian
na* often told us) than any other similar work.'?
Boston Daily IVansaript.
President Everett, qf Harford College, late
Minister to England.?'I peruse the Knickerbocker
with high gratification. It seems to me to be of an
order o? merit quite above the average of the periodicals
of this ( lass, English or American.'
Hon. J. K. Pauldin<2,late Secretary qf the Navy.?
'The manner in which the Knickerbocker is conducted,
and the great merit of its contributors, place
it in tlx; highest rank of periodicals.'
Pmor. Longfellow, Cambridge University.?'The
Knickerbocker stands high in this quarter. It is
"upsriiir to mist of ths English magazines, and well.
deserves its large list of subscribers."
Hon. Robert M. Charlton, Georgia.?1'The
Knickerbocker is a work which requires Dupuffing;
and I shall always feel that 1 am conferring a
favor on those to whom 1 recommend it.'
The London Examiner.?'This very clever Magazine
is the pleasantest periodical in the United
Mates. 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 la-fore us, we are inclined to consider
Uii* tin- best of all the Aim-m an literary periodical*.
It* content* arc highly interesting, instructive, and
amusing.'
The London Literary gazette.?'The UlhU
and talent which the Knickerbocker display* are
highly isreditable to American writers, ana very
agreeable for English reader*.'
London Metropolitan Monthly Magazine.?
'We have read aeveral number* of this talented periodical,
and rejoiced in them. They would do
credit to any country or to any state ot civilization
to which humanity nas yet arrived.'
London Athknkvm.?'From a very clever
Monthly Magazine, 'The Knickerbocker.' of New
York, we copy the following- spirited story,' etc.
Sir Edward Hilwer Lytton.?'The Knickerbocker
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 Knickerbocker
with very great pleasure; it is indeed a
most various and entertaining periodical. It affords
Hie pleasure to contribute to tlie pages of a work
which numbers among tfc regular correspondent*
such writers a* Mr. laviNtt.'
Rev. Dr. Dick Scotland.?'I have read a good
many of the articles in the few numbers of the
Knickerbocker which you sent me, and find them
to possess great merit. Some of it* 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 mas* of reader*.'
