#* The Revue des Deux Mondcs has la-en 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 Uniou, to the
labors of its politicians, and to the Literary aud
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 Prance. Many of ita 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, whicn will certainfv be. for the American.
the moat faithful picture of the European movement*.

THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by LewU Gay lord Clark.
THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and
England, 'the beat magazine in America.' It
baa nearly reached ita thirty-fourth volume, and in
ita lint of upward of a hundred contributora are found
the name* 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,
1849. 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 thin
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and Deautiful 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
tnc United States. When we first started the old
'New Yorker,' our friend Clark had preceded us
as Editor of the Knickerbocker about a twelvemonth:
it has now readied 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. We have known
no monthly, of this country or Europe, so thoroughly
edited, in the strictest sense of the term.'?New
York Doily 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 more marvellous miracle, has perpetually
approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an exceltior,
for each number seems better than that which
went before. How it is dune our friend Clark may
understand?but it is a scaled 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.'?New York Courier and Enquirer.
'We regard it as the very best work of its kind in
the Union.'?St. Alban'e (Kb.) Journal.
'Its contents are as invariably good as its appearance
is puuctual.'<?William Cullen Bryant, in
the New York Evening Poet.
'Its articles are worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
days. The Editor'e '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
aDlllty.?jYCUionai imeuxgmcer.
'Tub Knickerbocker is one of the most valuable
mag?, lines of the day, and outstrips all competition
in uk higher walks of licrature.'?Albany At gut.
"The Editor's Table alone is worth toe price of
the work. It is not a pieriodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms a library book to
save aud 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
nas often told us) than any other similar work.'?
Boiton Daily 'Dranicript.
President Everett, qf Harford College, late
Minuter to England.?'I peruse the Knickerbocker
with high gratification. It seems to me to be of an
order of merit quite above the average of the periodicals
of this class, English or American.'
Hon. J. K. Paclding, late Secretary of the Xavy.?
'The manner in which the Knickerbocker is conducted,
and the great merit of its contributors, place
it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Paor. Longfellow, Cambridge Univereity.?'The
Knickbkbockek stands high in this quarter. It is
superior to must of the English magazines, and well
deserves its large list of subscribers."
Hun. 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 Magazine
is the ph-asantest periodica] in the United
States. Its articles, which are numerous and short,
various and inn*re*ting,arr well worthy of imitation
by our Magazine* on this side of the Atlantic.'
London Moenino Chronicle.?'Judging from \
the iiumtieni before us, we are inclined to consider
this tlx: l?-st of all the American literary periodicals,
lu contents are highly iuterosting, instructive, and
amusing.'
The London Literary Gazette.?'The taste
aud talent which the Knickerbocker display* are
highly creditable to American writers, anrf very j
agreeable for English readers.'
London Metropolitan Monthly Magazine.?
4 We have r<ad 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 nas yet arrived.'
London Athenkiim.?'From a very clever
u li.. \t. tl... lv
"""""J , .... ?
York, we copy the following spirited story,' etc.
Sir Edward Hclwer Lytton.?'The Knickerbocker
i? the best American periodical I have yet
MB. I take pleaaure iti enclosing you an article j
which was penned expressly for your work.'
Charlbr Dickens, esq.?'I read the Knickebsockek
with very great pleaaure: it ia indeed a 1
1111*1 varioua and entertaining periodical. It affords
me pleaaure to contribute to the pages of a work
which numbers among its regular correspondents !
such writers as Mr. Ievino.'
Rev. Dr. Dica 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 powu-as great merit. Some of its papers, it ia
true, were too light for my arrioua turn of mind;
yet the whole appears well calculated to gratify the
tastes of the mass of readers.'
Capt. F. Marrvatt.?'You make an excellent
Magazine?spirited, various, aud original. I hope
iny ' .Moonstone will reflex t no discredit upon the
good company in which it will find itaell.'
