The Revue des Deux Monde* has been 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 Union, to the
labors of its politicians, and to the Literary and
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 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 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 movements.

THE KRICKEHBOCKER MAGAZINE.
Kdltrd by Lewli Clay lord Clark.
THIS in pronounced, by the press of America and
England, 'the beat magazine in America.' It
has nearly reached iu thirty-fourth volume, and in
its lint of upward of o hundred contributor* are found
the naium 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 dayof July,
1849. The following notices of the Knickerbocker
are from the American and English press, and from
American and British writers or distinction.
'The Knickerbocker.?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 entcrtaiuing Magazine published in
the 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 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. has ever been issued under Clark's supervision
that did uot 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 tne term.'?Aw
York Daily Tribune.
'Mathematicians tell us of certain curves called
a*ymptote?, whose peculiarity is always to approach
each other, and yet, even when infinitely extended,
never to intersect. The Knickerbocker, which
lias reached an age for a Magazine much greater
than a hundred yearn for a man, and only to De attained
by a more marvellous miracle, has perpetually
approached the highest possible point of interest
and excellence; and yet it seems to have an excelsior,
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's ( Va.) Journal.
'Its contents arc as invariably good as its appearance
is punctual.'?William Cullen Bryant, tn
the New York Evening Post.
'Its articles are worthy of Blackwood's palmiest
days. The Editor's TabU 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
abi 1 i ty.'?National Intelligencer.
'The Knickerbocker is one of the most valuable
magazines of the day, and outstrips all competition
in the higher walks of lierature.'?Albany Argus.
"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 nook to
save 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 Transcript.
President Everett, qf Harforu College, late
Minister to England.?'1 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. Paulding,fate Secretary qf the Navy.?
'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 University.?'The
Knickerbocker stands high in this quarter. It is
superior to most of the English mag&xincs, and well
1 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 I am conferring a
favor on those to whom I recommend it.'
The London Examiner.?'This very clever Magazine
is the plcasantest periodical in the United
Mates. Its articles, which are numerous and short,
various and interesting,are well worthy of imitation
by our Magazine* on this side of the Atlantic.'
London Mornino Chronicle.?'Judging from j
the numbers before us, we are inclined to consider (
this the best of all the American literary periodical*.
Its contents are highly interesting, instructive, and I
amusing.'
The London Literary Gazette.?'The taste
and talent which the Knickerbocker displays are |
highly creditable to American writers, ana very
ngicmuir IUI r>iij^iu?ii IMUVIB.
London Metropolitan Monthly Magazine.? |
'We have read several numberii of thin talented pe- 1
riodical, and rejoiced in them. They would do |
credit to any country or to any state of civilization
to which liumanity ha* yet arrived.'
London Athenjblm.-?'From a very clever
Monthly Magazine, 'The Knickerbocker.' of New j
York, we copy the following spirited story,' etc.
Sib Edward Bvlwer Lytton.?'The Knicksrbocker
in the beat American periodical I have yet
hocii. I take pleaHure in enctosiug you an article
which was penned expressly for your work.'
Charleh Dickens, eaq.?'I read the Knickerbocker
with very great pleasure: it in indeed a <
inuBl various and entertaining periodical. It affords I
me pleasure to contribute to the pages of a work
which numbers among its regular correspondents '
such writers as Mr. Irving.'
Rev. Dr. Dick Scotland.?'I have read a good
many of the articles in the few numbers of the
Knii kbrbockbr which you sent me, and find them
to pooicas 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
tastes of the inass of readers.'
Capt. F. Mariyatt.?'You make an excellent (
Magazine?spirited, various, and original. I hope ,
my 'Moonihint' will reflect no discredit upon the '
gtmd company in which it will find itself.'
