per annum.
The Revue des Deux Mondcshas 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 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
des 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
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 anions'
them many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corns.
Each number of the Revue, in addition to it* 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, whicn will certainly be, for the American,
the most faithful picture of the European movements.

THE KNICKERBOCKER HAbAZINE.
Edited by Lewln Guylord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
England, 'the 1x:at magazine in America.' It
has nearly reached its thirty-fourth volume, and in
it* lint of upward of a hundred contributore 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, containing a superb engraving, a portrait
qf the editor engraved by Cheney, from a painting
by Elliott, will commence on the first day of July,
1949. The following notices of the Knickerbocker
are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers of 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
as ?ditor of the Knicilerbockrr about a twelvemonth:
it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; a fact which literally
'speaks volumes' in praise of the manner in
which the work has 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. Wc have known
110 monthly, of this country or Europe, so thoroughly
edited, in the strictest sense of the term.'?New
York Daily Tribune.
Mathematicians tell us of certain curves called
asymptotes, 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 mort; 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 lias 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's ( Va.) Journal.
Its contents are as invariably good as its appearance
is punctual.'?William Ccllen Bryant, tn
the New York Evening Post.
'Its articles arc worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
days. The Editor's 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 valuable
magazines of the day, and outstrips all competition
in the higher walks of lierature.'?Albany Argue.
"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 library book to
save and re-read. A set of the Knickerbocker,
bound up in volumes, on the shelves of one of our
popular libraries, is more cousulted (so the librarian
nas often told us) than any other similar work.'?
Boston Daily Transcript.
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 or merit quite above the average of the periodicals
of this class, English or American.'
Hon. J. K. Paulding,late Secretary of the Navy.?
'The manner in which the Knickerbocker is conducted,and
the great meritof its contributors, place
it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Prop. Longfellow, Cambridge University.?'The
Knickekbockek stands high in this quarter. It is
superior to most of the English magazines, and well
deserves its large list of subscribers."
Hon. Robert M. Charlton. Georgia.?'The
Knickerbocker is a work which requires no puffing;
and I shall always feel that I am conferring a
favor on those to whom I recommend it.'
The London Examiner.?'This very clever MaC'ne
is the pleasantest periodical In the United
Be. Its articles, which are numerous and short,
various and interesting,are well worthy uf imitation
by our Magazines on this side of the Atlantic.'
London Morning Chronicle.?'Judging from
tlie 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 die Knickerbocker display* are
highly careditable to American writers, ami very
agreeable for English readers.'
London Metropolitan Monthly Maoazine.?
We have read several numbers 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 Athineuh. 'From a very clever
Monthly Magazine, 'The Knickerbocker.' of New
York, we copy the following spirited story,' etc.
Sir Edward Bclwer 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
must various and entertaining periodical. It affords
mr pleasure to contribute to the pages of a work
which numbers among its regular correspondents
such writers as Mr. Irving.'
Rev. Dr. Dick Scotland.?'I liave read a good
many of the articles in the few numbers of the
Knickerbocker which you scut me, and find them
to possess great merit. Some of its papers, it is
true, were too light for iny serious turn of mind;
yet the whole appears well ralrulattd to gratify the
tastes of the mass of readers.'
Capt. F. Marrvatt.?'You make an excellent
Magazine?spirited, various, and original. 1 hope
my ' Moonthint' will reflect no discredit upon toe
good company in which it will fiud itself.'
