a successful prosrrcss throusrh all the unavoidable difficulties that attend the birth 

 and infancy of a new literary offspring, and confidently expect that the evident 

 talent of the Editor, and of his able contributors, will receive such encouragement 

 as will enable them to steer forward on their course until they reach, in safety 

 and in triumph, the expansive ocean of popularity, in full sail, wafted by the favour- 

 ing gale of public opinion, well manned, and laden with wealth. This we cordially 

 hope for the honour of the Midland counties." — Warioick Chronicle. 



"The first number of this work is well got up, and bids fair to rank very high 

 amone: the periodical literature of the day." — Leamington Courier. 



'* We have often stated our conviction that a magazine with a decided purpose 

 and character of its own would succeed : let the Editor take this counsel to heart, 

 and' remember that he is to be the representative of the Midland districts." — 

 Athenaeum. 



" A very promising commencement of a most interesting periodical, recom- 

 mended by associations which must make it popular amongst all classes of country 

 readers." — Herf^ord Journal. 



'* We hail with much satisfaction the first appearance of a periodical, dedicated 

 as 'The Analyst' is, to the praiseworthy purpose of promoting the cultivation of 

 literary and scientific attainments in the provinces. The typographical arrange- 

 ments are in every respect entitled to compete with those of the- first magazines of 

 the day ; and the Editorial department is conducted with so much judgment and 

 good taste, as to convince us that if the work be supported as it deserves to be, it 

 will prove a source not only of profit, but of honour to all concerned in the under- 

 taking." — Cheltenham Journal. 



*' It caters aptly for the public taste, — ^we can have no doubt of * The Analyst's' 

 eventual success." — Sun. 



"The first nunjber of this spirited and latidable periodical is now published, and 

 we much regret that a want of space prevents our doing ample justice to its con- 

 tents, some of which are of a high literr.ry and scientific character. One feature in 

 this magazine, will, we think, render it unexceptionable on the score of party 

 feeling — we mean the totfil exclusion of religious and political discussion — the work 

 being exclusively devoted to science, literature, and the arts. The tabular and 

 general information introduced at the end of the work is extremely useful, while as 

 an advertising medium, ' The Analyst' promises to become valuable, from the class 

 of society among¥t which it will naturally be circulated." — Cheltenham Chronicle. 



" If tlie contents of this number are a specimen of the sources from which the 

 Editor has the promise of collecting his future materials, we think he has every 

 prospect of success." — Felix Farley* s Bristol Journal.
