HE Periodical are the critical censors of the
SBritish scholastic and literary world. By their
criticisms, they aid readers in the selection of stand
ard valuable books; and by the epitomes which they
present, often obviate the necessity of consulting works
too voluminous for general examination. They fil a
place which American magazines cannot supply; for
they discuss topics relating more strictly to the affairs,
political, religious, scientific, and literary, of the con
tinent of Europe. They are conducted by the best
talent of Great Britain: and are engaged with the most
important questions which interest or agitate the civ
ilized world. Whoever subscribes to them all, may
read the ablest representatives of the principal parties
into which the people of Great Britain are divided.
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW
s the exponent of the Whig party in Great Britain,
having from its commencement advocated Frydom
and the rights of the people. When the war, appa
rently of extesnination, was waged against France by
British Tory rulers, and during which occurred the
second great struggle of England with our own coun
try, this Review first unfurled the flag of resistance,
and made, by its unanswerable and eloquent appeals
in behalf of inalienable right.s, the halls of British
legislation and even the throne itself to tremble. The
graphic and stirring delineations of those events, pre
sented in the pages of that distinguished journal, ex
hibit the truest portraiture of those perilous days to
be fonnd, perhaps, in the languge. Its influence was
becoming so apparent, that at length the leaders of bhe
Tory party. at whom the thunders of its eloquence
were especially directed, found it too powerful an in
strument to be resisted by ordinary means, and heneg
they established the "Quarterly," or as it is distin
guished among the American Reprints,
THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW,
whereby to counteract that influence which its power
ful rival exerted against their measures. The two
great political parties thus made strenuous efforts
through their respectives organs, for the promulgation
of their antagonistical principles; and during a longo
series of years. these two leading Periodicals have con
centrated the labors, the talent, and the inflence of
the adherents of the Whig and Tory parties of Great
Britain.
Men of the highest literary rank, as well as digni
taries, civil and ecclesiastic, have contributed to the
pages of these works: among them might be mentioned
some of the most resplendent names on the scroll of
fame. Among the regular contributors to the London
Quarterly Review were .strsrT, Scorrr, IOCKItuAr, (its
present editor.) AeEtLt.LT, Fnasuso.. WowRDsiwSRTa.
Lota MAHsO, Da. MUIlAN, (whose article on Oriental
literature have been so highly esteemed.) and that
wonderful woman of science. Mns. SoxvRvILtx, with
many others scarcely less celebrated. Then again in
the Edinbugh Review, it is enough to mentiFa the
following names, any one of which would of iself in
sure a high degree of renown to any work with which
it might be associated:-we refer to JmwsnrR. NAPIER,
BRocoutAu, M.AcLtrron, and M.scAt.n.:the first of whom
during his long connexion wsth the Review aectually
wrote, on the average, one third of the articles that
graced its brilliant pages; while the universally ad
mired essays of the last, republished sou extensively
in our own and the parent country. leave us in no
manner of doubt as to their great intrinsic merit.
THE WESTMINSITER REVIEW.
This able Journal was established under the patron
age and support of the ultra-liberals, so styled in the
British House of Commons; among whom Roltost-K,
MhLus, BOWrLG. PstorNso Lo.o of the London Uni
versity, Moo MA.rTiatr, and others whose names need
notbe quoted. conspicuously figured. It was for Some
years under the editorial supervision of Jeremy Beth
am. from which fact it obtained the sobriquet of the
mouth-piece of Benthamism. This work has ever
been especially devoted to thegreat topics which inter
est the mass of people: its pages have been rife, it will
be remembered, with a series of powerful articles, ten
ding to the reduction of Tory and exclusive privileges,
hereditary rights, kingly perogatives, &c. The as
tounding developments made a few years since, re
specting the wretched and, till then. unheard of hor
rors of some branches of the mining population of
England, first appeared in its pages. Not only have
its articles ever been directed against the afore-men
tioned abuses; the work has also maintained an unre
lenting crusade against the alliance of Church and
State, thus virtually seeking to abolish the "Parlia
mentary Religion" of England, and eventually to re
move the still existing remnants of feudalism, which
continueto afflict the British nation. It is has recently
become the medium through which Cobden promul.
gates his Free-trade doctrines. which will give it in
creased interest to the numerous admirers, here and
elsewhere, of that great Reformer. In many particu
lars, the Westminister Review espouses a political
faith closely allied to that of our own country: and
therefore we may, without any extraordinary effort of
charity, be induced to cherish it as an exotic worthy
of being engrafted into our more genial soil. It has
recently been united with the Foreign Quarterly Re
view, the more attractive features of the two Reviews
being now combined in the Westminister, and thus
adding greatly to its value as a literary periodical.
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW
is a work of more recent origin than those already
described-but is, nevertheless, destined tb occupy a
place in the Republic of Letters.
The great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland led to
its establishment. There was no Jonr.AL in the UxI
TEDs KRGDox, which appeared to meet the necessities
of this Anti-National-Church agitation. Indeed, the
revolution caused by the disruption induced a new
state of things, placing the actors in a new position of
observation: nor could they give utterance to their
new pereeptions of State and Church Polity-their new
sympathies-their new emotions, without some or
other organ of thought than any extant. Hence the
spontaneous agreement of the great master of minds
among them, in the necessity of a new outlet of opin
ion, and the immeeiate creation of the Noara BRamas
RenIaw. The basis of this Journal is the Evangelism
of the Nineteeenth Century; nor is it to be overlooked
as one of the striking characteristics of the times,
that the grand principle which Robeatson. Smith, and
many of the eminent men of Scotland took the feld a
century ago to write dosn, is now advocaled and sindi
cated in this able work, and in the same literary me
tropolls.
This Periodical is not ultra in ts views on any one
of the grand departments of human knowledge: at the
same time it never drifts from its moorings on the
shores of pure Evangelical religion of the Bible. Nor
will it fail to compare most favorably with every other
cotemporary in the amount of talent, energy and
spirit, enlisted on its side. The names of Sir David
Brewster, Drs. Ranna, Cunningham, Lorrimer, Can
dhsh, Gordon, Buchanan, Smith, &c., are a host with
in themselves. Much foreign talent is also pledged to
adorn and enrich its pages.
It rs not to be considered stri.dly a Theological Rrici
for topics of every kind calculated to occupy and inter
est the well cultivated mind are introduced. Political
questions, not so much in their party aspects as their
general character, are considered. Literature and the
literary merits of works are discussed, and discoveries
in mental pnd physical science unfolded; the discuss
ion of relegious subjects, however, in a dispassionate
and Christian spitit, form adistinct feature of the
work, and will continue to occupy a prominent place
in its pages.
The lamented D.R. CHAta..s was the founder and
principal Editor of this Review, and since his death
has been ably conducted by his son-in-law, Dr. Hanna.
BLACKWOODS' EDINBURG MAGAZINE
is less exclusive in its character than the works al
ready noticed; its contents may be considered under
the general heads of classical literature, biography,
narratives, historical and fictitious poetry, critical
analyses of new works, &c., ke. The high order of its
disquisitions haslongrenderedit proudly distinguished
in the department of Greek and Roman archeologyv
while its range of elegant fiction may be said to di
cover a masterly power and skill, unsurpassed by any
of its namerous contemporaries. Again, in its bio
graphical department, and narratives of voyages and
travels, no less than in its papers on subjects purely
scientific, this admirable Periodical has ever displayed
resources unquestionably superior to any similar work
in the world. As to its political opinions, although
deeply infused with Troylsm, to an .extent the most
zealous partisan could desire; yet, so witching is its
rhetoric, and so consistently uniform is it in its anti
republican obliquity, that, however obnoxious its ten
ets, im is impossible for the reader to fail of being
charnfeed by the perusol bf its brillisnt pages. The
fact of this distinguished Magazine having, for a series
of years, maintained a circulation in Great Britain of
about 40,000 copies-a'prodigious and unequalled cir
culation for that country, where'the prfceis $7 50 a
year, will alone settle the question of its preominent
merits. The same remark is equally applicable to
this country: it is well known that its circulation,
even in the United States, is already far above that of
any other work of its class, notwithstanding the un
palatable character of its politics, a fact which can
only be accounted for by the transcendent ability which
characterizes its pages. -
When we call to mind the names of the contributors
to this sterling work, it is not surprising that stch
BOOKS & PERIODICALS.
high meed of praise should be awarded it It the re
public of letters. Of the eminent writers who have
raced its pages, may be mentioned the following:
orof. Wilson, better know as Ceristopher North, its
renowned editor; Dr. Warrea, the graphic and brilliant
author of the "Diary of a late Physician," and of
"Ten Thousand a-year," works which have been so
extensively popular in a republished form; i . P. Gilly,
Anster, Jeffrey Lockhart, James, Lytton Bulwer Dr.
lfaginn, Sydney Smith, and the author of "Tom Crin
gle's Log," "Cruise of the Midge," etc., works which
have been the delight oi thousands of readears
It is at this time unusually attractive from the se
rial works of Bulwer and of other distinguished writers
which grace its pages as original contributors, appear
ing first in this Magazine, both in the British and
American Editions. By an arrangement with the
British Publishers early sheets of the Magazine are
regularly forwarded to this country so as to enable the
American Publishers to issue their re-print before the
original edition arrives. Notwithstanding they are
thus sure to get in market before any of its contents
can be published in other forms, still the popularity of
these serial works is so grea: that several of the lead
ing publishers in this country are content to issue
other reprints of them copied from the reprint of
Blackwood after it has already been placed in the
hands of its numerous osubscribers. "Tou CArrorts,"
and "Mx Nr-w NOVEL," by Bulwer; "MY P.anss.CLa
MEDAL,' "Ten GRE·N HAND," and other serials of a
similar stamp are among the works alluded to. Their
great popularity in this country will show, in this
feature alone, the attractions of Blackwood's Maga
zine, and it is well to remember, in this connection,
that twenty-five cents will purchase a monthly num
ber.
Sustained, then, as these distinguished works are
and ever have been, by the highest order of scholastic
ability and political sagacity, we need not be surprised
to find them occupying such a proud preeminence
among the literary productions of the world- and the
neglect of theia high claims upon the consideration of
all classes of the intelligent community, would neces
sarily argue a corresponding indifference to the great
interests of the common weal. But a spirit of philo
sophical inquiry is abroad among the people; and to
the honor of the age may it be stated, that ignorance
is no longer deemed a misfortune, but a fault: and as
suredls the fault is not lessened when we find such
rare advantages thus placed within our grasp; and
however trite, also, may be the remark, it is not the
less true, that if the cultivation of literature brings its
,own reward, the neglect Eit brings its punishment.-
With these views, therefore, the American publishers
respectfully beg to invite theespecial attention of their
fellow-citizens to the Reprints of the several Period
icaL, here referred to, feeling confident that in doing
so they will not only observe the best interests of pop
ular intelligence, but will, at the same time, add to
the general happiness of the nation, by imparting to
the public mind a healthful stimulus for a high order
of intellectual pleasure.

Three Dollars a year, or Twenty-five Cents a Number
in paper, or Forty Cents a Number bound in Cloth

aThey athe best children's books ever published.
They wisely avoid the introduction or discussion of
religious topics, yet are such as christian parents may
unhesitatingly place in their children's hands. The
price is marvelously low. Twenty-five cents a number
makes it about six pages of print and two excellent
engravings for each cent of the money.
The engraving slame without a line of letter-press,
would be cheap at the price. One good thing these
Story Books will certainly accomplish; henceforth in
ferior authorship and nused-up worn out illustrations
can not be palmed ofon children. They have samples
here of what is best for them, and they are shrewd
enough not to put up with 5t thing of lower quality.
We have heard so many fathers and mothers who
recognlze the pleasant duty of guiding the minds of
their children in the paths of knowledge at home,
speak in terms of the highest commendation of this
series of books for children, that we feel a desire to see
them universally read among children. They consti
