ATURDAY REVIEW of 



POLITICS, LITERATURE, SCIENCE, 

 and ART. 



This Publication will consist exclusively of 

 original matter, or of news embodied in ori- 

 ginal comments ; and it will thus be distin- 

 guished from »11 existing periodicals in several 

 important respects. It will differ from the 

 weekly newspapers in the exclusion of merely 

 borrowed news, and from the purely literary 

 journals in the admission of political discus- 

 sion. It is intended that it shall address itself 

 to the principal topics in the Political, Social, 

 and Literary World, which will be impartially 

 handled by competent writers, with that libe- 

 rality and independence which educated and 

 reflecting minds demand from those who as- 

 sume to guide and represent public opinion. 



The publication of the SATURDAY RE- 

 VIEW is entrusted to MESSRS. JOHN W. 

 PARKER & SON, West Strand, to whom all 

 Communications and Advertisements may be 

 addressed. 



»*» The conductors of the SATURDAY 

 REVIEW decline to receive books, prints, &c., 

 gratuitously for review. As the limits of no 

 periodical admit of a proper notice of all new 

 publications, the conductors will provide for 

 themselves the works which they may select 

 for criticism.
