% The Revue dee Deux Mondes has been formed
for the purpose of establishing an intercourse in
the intellectual pursuits the moist followed between
distinguished men of Europe and America. U 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 Mondee now makes a public appeal to
American Authors and Editors, by sending to it, ,
throuch Mr. Putnam, of New York, a copy of each ,
of their publications. The Revue is in a better po- .
sition 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 UterarYtpen
of France. Many of its contributors nave 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, whicn will certainly be, for the American,
the most faithful picture of the European move- j
incuts. j

THE MJTICICEKBOCKBR MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lcwli Gaylord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
Ens-land, 'the best masraaine in America.' It
uu nearly reached its thirty-fourth volume, and in
ts list of ttpu>ard of a hundred contributor* are found
Jie names of every distinguished writer, male and
female, in America, with several equally prominent
>f Oraat Britain, Turkey, Sweden, etc. A new
rulume, containing a superb engraving, a portrait
f Iht editor engraved by Cheney, from a painting
ty Elliott, will commence on the first day of July,
IB49. The following notices of the Knickbrbockek
ire from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers or distinction.
'The Kniceebbockeb.?The last number ot this
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
jpoo entirely new and beautiful type, in all its departments;
and in its rich and diversified contents,
sontinues to vindicate its reputation as the most
kgreeable and entertaining Magazine published in
this United States. When we first started the old
'Veer Yorker,' oar friend Ouw toad preceded us
is Editor of the Knickebsockbb 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
?f the K. has ever been issued under Clare'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.'?Neva
York Daily Tribune.
'Mathematicians tell us of certain curves called
Mymptotei, whose peculiarity is always to approach
iach other, and yet, even when infinitely extended,
never to intersect. The Knickerbocker, which
ns reached an age for a Magaxine 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
una excellence; and yet it sceina 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'* table of
the Knickerbocker.'?JVne York Conner and Enquirer.
'We regard it as the very best workof its kind in
the Union.'?St. Alban't (Fa,) Journal.
'Its contents are aa invariably good aa ita appearance
is punctual.'?William Cullen Bryant, in
the Neva York Evening Poet.
'Its articles are worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
days. The Editor't Table is in Mr. Clark's happiest
vein; varied and racy in a remarkable degree.'
?Neva York Commercial Advertiser.
'The Knickerbocker seems to increase in attraction
aa it advances in age. It exhibits a monthly
variety of contributions unsurpassed in number or
ability.'?National hUetHgencer.
'The Knickerbocker is one of the moat valuable
magazines of the day, and outstrips all competition
in uo higher walks of lierature.'?Albany Argue.
"The Editor's Table alone is worth toe price af
the work. It is not a periodical to be lightly glanced
aver and thrown by, but it forms a library nook to
lave and re-read. A set of the Knickerbocker,
bound up in volumes, on 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 TranecriptPresident
Everett, qf Harford College, late
Minieterto England.?'1 peruse the Knickerrocker
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,1ate Secretary of the Navy.?
'The manner in which the Knickerbocker is conducted,
and the grsat merit of its contributors, place
it in tlie highest rank of periodicals.'
Paor. Longfbllow, Cambridge Cnivereity.-'The
Knickerbocker stands high in this quarter. It is
superior to most of the Enghsh 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 1 am conferring a
favor on those to whom I recommend it,'
The London Examikbb.?'This very clever Magasine
is the pleasantest periodical in the United I
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 Mokning Chronicle.?'Judging from
the numbers before us, we arc inclined to consider
this the best of all the American literary periodicals.
Its contents are highly interesting, instructive, and
amusing.'
The Loudon Litiraiv Gaxette.?'The taste
imd talent which the Knickerbocker display* arc
highly creditable to American writer*, ami very
agreeable for English readers.'
London Mstbopolitan Monthly Magazine.?
'We have read eeveral numbers of this talented periodical,
and rejoiced in them. They would do
credit to any country or to any state of civilisation
to which humanity has yet arrived.*
London Athenkcm. 'From a very clever
Monthly Magaaine, -The Knicbbbbockeb.' of New
York, we copy the following spirited story,' etc.
Hir Edward Bulwbr Lytton.?'The Knickerbocker
is the beat American periodical 1 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
me pleasure to contribute to the pages of a work
which numbers among its regular correspondents
mc.h writers as Mr. Ibvino.'
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
U> possess 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
taste* of the mas* of reader*.*
Oapt. F. MAaavATT.?'You make an excellent
Magaaine?spirited, various, and original. I hope
my jtieoasAsne' will reflect no discredit upon the
pml company in which it will find itself.'
