*,* The Revue dew Deux Mondes has been formed
for tlie purpose of establishing un int-rcoursc in
the inteilectunl pursuits the most followed between
distinguished men of Europe and Anieriea. It is
proposed in this collection to give a prominent
place to the affairs of the American Union, to the
Inborn 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
oT 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 how 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 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 Quiuzainc," a nistorirnl
iiummnrv nf thi> nrinrinx I <<vi>nfa of (hp nnlifira 1
world, whicii will certainly^be, for the American,
the most faithful picture of the European move- '

THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Edited by Lfivlt Gaylnrd Clark.
THIS in pronounced, by the press of America and
England, 'the best innguziuc in America.' It
bun nearly reached its thirty-fourth volume, and in
its list of upward of u kundrra contributor are found
the naineH 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 pain tingby
Elliott, will commence on the first day of July,
1849. The following noticed of the Knickebiiockeb
are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers of distinction.
'The Knickebbockeh.?The last number ot this
venerable and widely-popular periodical appears
upon entirely new and ocautiful 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. Wheii we first started the old
'New Yorker,' our friend Clabk had preceded us
as Editor of the Knickerbocker about a twelvemonth:
it has now reached an age greatly beyond
that of any American Monthly; a fact which literally
'speaks volumes' iu praise of the manner in
which the work has la-en conducted. No number
of the K. has ever been issued under Cl a ait's supervision
that did not beur indubitable evidence of editorial
care, and unxious thought, and well-directed
labor enstainped 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 Daily Tribune.
'Mathematicians tell us of ccrtuin curves called
aeyinptotee, 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
sior, ior earn unmoor seems dciict uiliu uiui wuuu
v. ent before. How it is done our frieud Clark inuy
understand?but it is a sealed mystery to us. There
is no publication in tlic United Suites that has *> 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'i (Ya.) Journal.
'Its contents are as invariably good as its appearance
is punctual.'?William Cullxm Bryant, in
the Neva York Evening Post.
'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 >
ma.gr -incs of the day, and outstrips all competition I
in th hiirlier walks of lierature.'?Alban w A reus. i
' T he Editor's Tabic alone is worth the price of
the work. I, is not a periodical to be lightly glanced
over and thrown by, but it forms a library nouk to
save and re-read. A set of the Knickerbocker,
bound up in volumes, on the shelves of one of our
pipular libraries, is more consulted (so the librarian
has often told us) than any other similar work.'?
Ho*ton Daily Transcript.
President Evembtt, qf Harford College, late
Minister to England ? 'I p< rum the Knick erbocker ;
with hig-h gratification. It seems to me to be of an
order ot merit quite above the average of the periodicals
of this class, English or American.'
Hon. J.K. Paulding,kite Secretary of the Navy.?
'The manner in wliich the Knickerbocker is conducted,
and the great merit of its contributors, place
it in the highest rank of periodicals.'
Prop. Iongfellow, Cambridge University.?'The
Knickerbocker stands high in this quarter. It is
superior to most of tlie English mugnkines, and wHI J

Knickebbockeb is a work which requires no puiff- j
ing; and I shall always feci tlmt I hiu conferring a
favor on those to whom J rccoinmeud it.'
The London Examinee.?'This very clever Ma- ,
guzinc is the pleasantest periodical in the United :
Mates. Its articles, which arc numerous and short,
various and interesting, arc well worthy of imitation
by our Magazines on this side of the Atlantic.'
London Mobnino Chronicle.?'Judging from
the numbers before us, we an- inclined to consider
this tlie best of all the American literary periodicals.
Its contents are highly interesting, instructive, and
amusing.'
The London Litebasv Gazette.?'Tbc taste
and taient which the Knickebbockeb displays are
highly creditable to American writers, ami very
agreeable for English readers.'
London Metropolitan Monthly Magazine.? j
We have read several numbers of this talented periodical,
and rejoiced in thein. They would do
credit to any country or to any state of civilisation
to which humanity has yet arrived.'

Rev. Dr. Dick Scotland.?'I have read a good ;
many of the articira in the few numbers of the
Knickerbocker which you sent ine, and find them
to possess great merit. Some of ita papers, it ia
true., were too light for my aerioua turn of mind; .
yet the whole appears well calculated to gratify tlie
