REVUE DEI DEUX MONDE*,
(ouvelle Period ?rec la Collaboration dee
Honunltee Litteraires et fclentiflquM, do
la France et dee paye Etraa^en.
Published on the first and fifteenth of every month,
lach number contains 176 pages, 8vo., at ?12 60
er annum.
The Revue des Deux Mondcs lias been formed
jr the purpose of establishing' an intercourse in
fie intellectual pursuits the most followed between
iatinguished men of Europe and America. It is
roposed in this collection to give a prominent
lace to the affairs of the American Union, to the
ibors of its politicians, and to the Literary and
cientifir publications of its Authors. The Revue
es Deux Mondes now makes a public appeal to
American Authors and Editors, by sending to it,
brough Mr. Putnam, of New York, a copy of each
f their publications. The Revue is in a better poition
than any other organ in Europe to serve as
.n intellectual link between the Old and the New
rVorld, which has as Editors and Contributors the
nost eminent political, scientific, and literary men
if France. Many of its contributors have visited
iJorth and South America, and it still counts among
hem many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corns.
Sach number or the Revue, in addition to its articles
igned by the first names of France, contains, under
he title of" Chrouique de la Quin*aine," a histori al
summary of the principal events of the political
vorld, whicn will certainly be, for the American,
he most faithful picture of the European movements.

THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewie Gey lord Clerk.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and |
England, 'the beet magazine in America.' It j
has nearly reached ita 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, Sweden, etc. A new
volume, containing a superb engraving, a portrait
qf the editor engraved by Chenbv, from a painting
by Elliott, will commence on the first day of July,
184f. The following notices of the Knickbbsockeb
are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers of distinction.
'Tub Knickbbsockeb.?The last number ol 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 State*. When we nrst started the old
'New Yorker,' our friend Clabk had preceded us
as Editor of the Knickbbsockeb 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. baa 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 Doily Tribune.
'Mathkmaticians 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 more marvellous miracle, has perpetually
approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an excel nor,
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'i {Va.) Journal.
'Its contents are as invariably good as its appearance
is punctual.'?William Cullen Bryant, tn
the New York Evening Poet.
'Its articles are 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
magexines 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 Kmickbbbockrr,
bound up in volumes, on. the shelves of one of our
popular libraries, is more consulted (so the Librarianbas
often told us) than any other similar work.'?
Boston Daily Transcript.
President Everett, </ Harford College, late
Minister to England.?'I peruse the Knickerbocker
? Is aaama ?? ma tn K*? nf an
order of merit quite above the average of the periodical*
of thi* eta**, Ens-list) or American.'
Hon. J. K Paulding, tale Secretary of the Navy.?
'The manner in which the Knickbbeoceh is conducted,
and the great merit of it* contributors, place
it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Paor. Lonutzllow, Cambridge Univertity.?'The
Ksicbbkbockeb stands high in thi* quarter. It is
superior to most of the English magazines, and well
deserves its large list of subscribers."
Hon. Rosket M. Chaslton, Georgia.?'The
Knickebboceeb is a work which requires no puffing;
and I shall always feel that I am conferring a
favor on tHkse to ?bom I recommend it.'
Thb LontMH* Examine*. -'This very clever MsCne
is the pleasantest periodical in the United
b*. Its articles, which are numerous and short,
various and inn-resting,are well worthy of imitation
by our Magazines on this side of the Atlantic.'

this the best of all the American literary periodicals,

amusing.'
