Am, T~HESE Periodical are the critical censors of the Brit LBritish scholastic and literary world. By their regi criticisms, they aid readers in the selection of stand- Am ard valuable books; and by the epitomes which they orig present, often obviate the necessity of consulting works thu too voluminous for general examination. They fill a can plae which American magazines cannot supplv; for the they discuss topics relating more strictly totheaffairs, ing political, religious, scientific, and literary, of the con- oths tinent of Europe. They are conducted by the best Bla talent of Great Britain: and are engaged with the most ban important questions which interest or agitate the civ- and ilized world. Whoever subscribes to them all, may Mri read the ablest representatives of the principal parties sin into which the people of Great Britain are divided. gr feal THE EDINBURGH REVIEW zin s the exponent of the Whig party in Great Britain, having from its commencement advocated Freedom and the rights of the people. When the war, appa rently of extermination, was waged against France by a British Tory rulers, and during which occurred the a second great struggle of England with our own coun try, this Review first unfurled the flag of resistance, adst made, by its unanswerable and eloquent ap:ieals n1e in behalf of inalienable rights, the halls of British a legislation and even the throne itself to tremble. The 1n graphic and stirring delineations of those events, pre- sn sented in the pages of that distinguished journal, ex hibit the truest portraiture of those perilous days to be founnd, perhaps, in the languge. Its influence was becoming so apparent, hiat at length the leaders of the 0 Tory party, at whom the thunders of its eloquence re were especially directed, found it too powerful an in- le strument to be resisted by ordinary means, and hence tlthey established the "Quarterly," or as it is distin guished among the American Reprints, re THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW, f whereby to counteract that influence which its power- so fiul rival exerted against their measures. The two ;:; great political parties thus made strenuous efforts tt through their respectives organs, forthe promulgation th of their antagonistical principles; and during a long of series of years, these two leading Periodicals have con centrated the labors, the talent, and the influence of the adherents of the Whig and Tory parties of Great Britain. Fr Men of the highest literary rank, as well as digni- Fe taries, civil and ecclesiastic, have contributed to the F< pages of these works: among them might be mentioned Fi some of the most resplendent nanmes on the scroll of Ft fame.

TIIE NORTII BRITISH REVIEW is a work of more recent orig.n than those already I i- describedl-but is. nevertheless, destined to occupy a place in the Republic of LetteLs. The great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland led to ut its establishment. There was no JoUcaL in the U.vi is n -o KiiGs, which alpeared to meet the necessities o of this Anti-National-thuirch agitation. Indeed, the revolution' -caused by the disruption induced a new state of things, placing the actors in a new position of robservatin: nor could they give utterance to their ail new pereeptions of State and Church Polity-their new e- 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. inl the necessity of a new outlet of opin ion. and the immeeiate creation of the NORTHu BalRSH to Re Ew. The basis of this Journal is the Evangelism h 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 r- many of the eminent men of Scotland took the 'eld a t century ago to write down, is now advocated and nisuti secarted in this able work, and in the same literary me tropolis. This Periodleal is not ultra Pn ,.s views on any one d of the grand departments of human knowledge: at the gs same time it never drifts from its moorings on the .1 shores of pure Evangelical religion of tSe Bible. Nor will it fail to compiare 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. Hanna, Cunningham, Lorrimer, Can dhslh, Gordon, Buchanan, Smith, &c., are a host with in themselves. Much foreign talent is also pledged to gh ador and enrich its pages. t, It i noet to be considered strictly a Theological Refeire, a for topics of every kind calculate- to occupy andl inter ho est the well caltivated mind are introduced. Political t questions, not so much in their party aspects as their general cioracter, are considereId. Literature and the literary merits of works are discussed, and discoveries in mental pnd physical science unfolded; the discuss. ad ion of relegious subjects, however, in a dispassionate et and Christian spitit, form adistinct feature of the e- work, and will continue to occupy a prominent place in its pages. The lamented DR. C~RtIMERS was the founder and principal E'itor of this Review. and since his dea'h he has beer ably conducted by his s.n-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., &c. The high order of its disquisitions has long rendered it proudly distinguished in the department of Greek and Roman archeology; while its range of elegant fiction may be said to dis cover a masterly power and skill, unsurpassed by any of its numerous contemporaries. Again, in its bio graphical delartment, and narratives of voyages and travels, no less than in its papers on subjects purely scientific, this adm sable Periodical has ever displayed resources unquestionably superior to any similar work in the world. As to its political opinions, although deeply infused with Troyism, 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, it is impossible for the reader to fail of being charmeed 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 price is $7 50 a year, will alone settle the question of its preeminent 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 aeecounted for by the transcendentability which charactersies its pages. When we call to mind the names of the contributors to this sterling work, it is not surprising that such BOOKS & PERIODICALS. high meed of praie should be awarded it in the re public of letters. Of the eminent writers who have graced its pages, may be mentioned the following: Prof. Wilson, better know as Ceristopher North, its renowned editor; Dr. Warren, 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; R. P. Giily, Anster, Jeffrey Lockhart, James, Lytton Bulwer, Dr. Magihn, Sydney Smith, and the author of "Tom Crn gle's Log," "c'ruise of the Midge," etc., works which have been the delight of thousands of readears It is at this time unusually attractive from the se sial works of Bulwer and of other distinguished writers which grace its pages as original contributors, appear ing first in this Mlagazine, both in the British and American Editions. By an arrangement with the British Publishers early sheets of the Magaztne 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 great that several of te 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 placedt in the hands of its numerous subscribers. "Tiit CAXTo.nS," and "Mr N'W Novas," by Bulwer; "Ml[y I'rI.ss-ILAR tnAte.' '"To GRch v lbc.si," and other serials of a simnilar stamp are among the works alluded to. Teir great popularity in this country will showe 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 her. Sustained, then, as these distinguishe 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 produrctions of the wor.-" and the neglect of theia high claims upon the c.osideration of all classes of the intelligent community, would neces sarily argue a corresponding indifference to the great interest-i of the common weal. But a spirit of plhilo sophicral inquiry is abroad among the Iople; and to the honor of the age may it be stated. that ignorsnce i no longer deemed a misfortune. but a :.sult: and as suredis the fault is not lessened when we find such rare advantages thus placed within our grasp: o.l ihowever trite. als9, may be the remark. it is not the less true, that if the cultivatin 'of literature brins its own reward,. the neglsct (,fit brings its punishment. With these views. therefore, the American publi--lers respectfully beg to invite tteespecial attention of their fsllow-citizens to the Reprints of the several l'eriiol icalh hlfercfrred to, feling confident that in doing so tihey will not only obserrve the best interests of pop clar intelligence. but wil:. at tihe same time. add to the general happiness of the nation, by imparting to the publhic mind a healthiful stimulus for a high srder ofintellectual pleasure. r TERMS.--P.rXre To Bia tAhi Lv ADVAYCE. per annum.
