The Revue dee Deux Mondcs has been formed f
r the purpose of establishing an intercourse in c
te intellectual pursuits the most followed between s
xtinguiahed men of Europe and America. It is ,
-oposed in this collection to give a prominent t
ace to the affairs of the American Union, to the ]
bora of its politicians, and to the Literary and 8
ientific publications of its Authors. The Revue i
sa Deux Monde* now makes a public appeal to
merican Authors and Editors, by sending to it, ,
iroutrh Mr. Putnam, of New York, a copy of each ,
r their publications. The Revue is in a better potion
than any other organ in Europe to serve as
a intellectual link between the Old and the New
ITorld, which lias as Editors and Contributors the
lost eminent political, scientific, and literary men
r Prance. Many of its contributors have visited
forth and South America, and it still counts among
tern many of the Diplomatic and Consular Corps,
ach number of the Revue, in addition to its articles
gned by the first names of France, contains, under
le title of" Chronique de la Quinxaine," a historiil
summary of the principal events of the political
orld, which will certainly be, for the American,
ie most faithful picture of the European movelents.

THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lewis Gaylord Clark.
rHIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
England, 'the beat magazine in America.' It
las nearly reached its thirty-fourth volume, and in
ts list of upward of a hundred contributor* arc found
he names of every distinguished writer, male and
emale, in America, with several equally prominent
if Great Britain, Turkey, Sweden, etc. A new
'oluine. containing a superb engraving, a portrait
f the editor vngraved by Chenev, from a painting
>y Elliott, wul commence on the first dayof July,
849. The following notices of the Knickerbocker
ire from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers or distinction.
'The Knickerbocker.?The last number of this
enerable and widely-popular periodical appears
ipon entirely new and Deautiful type, in all its de
lartments; and in its rich and diversineo contents,
ontinues to vindicate iU reputation as the most
igrceable and entertaining Magazine published in
he United States. When we first started the old
New Yorker,' our friend Clark had preceded us
is Editor of the Knickcrbock'kr about a twelvenun
th: it has now reached an age greatly beyond
hat of any American Monthly; a fact which literilly
'speaks volumes' in praise of the manner in
vhich the work has been conducted. No number
>f the K. has ever been issued under Clark's supervision
that did not bear indubitable evidence of ediorial
care, and anxious thought, and well-directed
abor enstamped upon its pages. We have known
10 monthly, of this country or Europe, so thoroughy
edited, in the strictest sense of tnc term.'?New
York Daily Tribune.
'Mathematicians tell us of certain curves called
uymptotee, whose peculiarity is always to approach
arh other, and yet, even when infinitely extended,
tever to intersect. The Knickkrbockeb, which
las reached an age for a Magazine much greater
ban a hundred years for a man, and only to be atained
by a more marvellous miracle, has perpetuity
approached the highest possible point of interest
ina excellence; and yet it seems to have an exceltior,
for each number seems better than that which
vent before. How it is done our friend CtABic inay
inderstand?but it is a sealed mystery to us. There
s no publication in the United States that hassoat.ractive
or popular a feature as the Editor's table of
he Knickerbocker.'?New York Courier and Enfuirer.
'We regard it as the very best work of its kind in
he Union.'?St. Alban's (Ka.) Journal.
'Its contents are as invariably good as its appearince
is punctual.'?William Cullen Bryant, in
'he New York Evening Poet.
'Its articles are worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
lays. The Editor'* 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
naguines of the day, and outstrips all competition
n the higher walks of lierature.'?Albany Argus.
"The Editor's Table alone is worth the price of
he work. It is not a periodical to be lightly glanced
tver and thrown by, but it forms a library hook to
ave and re-read. A set of the Knickerbocker,
>ound up in volumes, on the shelves of one of our
wpular libraries, is more cousulted (so the librarian
ias often told us) than any other similar work.'?
Boston Daily Transcript.
President Everett, <f Harford College, late
Minister to England.?'I peruse the Knickerbocker
*~ith high gratification. It seems to me to be of an
irder of merit auite above the average of the perixiicals
of this class, English or American.'
Hon. J. K. Paulding,late Secretary of the Navy.?
The manner in which the Knickerbocker is conflicted,
and the great merit of its contributors, place
it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Prof. Lonofellow, Cambridge University.?'The
Knickerbocker 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 1 am conferring a
favor on those to whom 1 recommend it.'
The London Examiner.?'This very clever Magazine
is the pleasaiitest 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
he numbers before us, we arc inclined to consider
his the best of all the American literary periodicals,
ts contents are highly interesting, instructive, and
im using.'
The London Literary Gazette.?'The taste
ind talent which the Knickerbocker displays are
lighly creditable to American writers, ami very
igrccable for English readers.'
London Metropolitan Monthly Magazine.?
We have read several numbers of this talented pe'iodiral,
and rejoiced in them. They would do
rredit to any country or to any state of civilization
o which humanity has yet arrived.'
London Athenjbcm. 'From a very clever
Monthly Magazine, 'The Knickerbocker.'of New
k'urk, we copy the following spirited story,' etc.
Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton.?'TbeKNicKERiocker
is the best American periodical 1 have ^yet
icen. I take pleasure in enclosing you an article
vhich was penned expressly for your work.'
Charles Dickens, esq.?'I read the Knickerioceer
with very great pleasure: it is indeed a
nosi various and entertaining periodical. It affords
ne pleasure to contribute to the pages of a work
vhich numbers among its regular correspondents
iuch writers as Mr. Irving.'
Rev. Dr. Dick Scotland.?'I liave read a good
nany of the articles in the few numbers of the
Snicker bock kb which you sent me, and find them
o possess great merit. Some of its papers, it is
rue, were too light for my serious turn of mind;
ret the whole appears well calculated to gratify the
astes of the mans of readers."
Capt. F. Mabeyatt.?'You make an excellent
Magazine?spirited, various, and original. 1 hope
ny 'Moontkmt' will reflect no discredit upon tiie
P>od company in which it will find itself.'
