rcnce over its rivul. From tlie siipoiior 

 style ill which it is writlcn, it must in> 

 cessarily reckon among its conlriiiutors 

 some of the First English and foreign li- 

 terati of the day. » — Ulvrary Chronicle. 



« The sixth article is a most al)le 

 analysis of the second edition of Pro- 

 fessor IViebuhr's History of Rome. This 

 history, as is well known, has drawn 

 the attention of all scholars in Europe. 

 The eighth is a most curious and high 

 interesting article, on Swiss Rural Eco- 

 nomy — written evidently by a gentle- 

 man who is well ac(iuainted with the 

 country, and is, moreover, complete 

 master of his subject. The work deserves 

 to succeed, and \ve arc confident, that 

 the hopes and wishes of the publishers 

 will be amply fulfilled." — Courier. 



" On looking over this number, we 

 scruple not to pronounce it lar superior 

 to its rival; the opening article, by Dr. 

 Soutlipy, ou the History of Burgundy, 

 is curious and interesting; that on the 

 German Drama, by ftlr. Carlyle, and 

 on tlie Peninsular War, by the Rev. 

 Blr. Cieig. are each admirable. On the 

 whale, this commencement is prospe- 

 rous, and if the market cannot hold 

 two foreign reviews^ we think that the 

 periodical of Soho-sqnare is doomed to 

 a short existence. » — jralchman. 



■< The Editoiship of this journal is 

 evidently in most able hands, and emi- 

 nently suited to the management of such 



a periodical. Its contents are ample and 

 varied — its claims on the public, great 

 and pressing; anil its prospects of the 

 most cheering character ; we venture to 

 predict, that the undertaking will be 

 crowned wilh the brightest swtcss. The 

 general improvement in education and 

 knowledge among all ranks and classes 

 of our population, call imperatively for 

 a book of the nature of the Foreign 

 ReviciV. » — JVew Times. 



<■ AVith regard to No. I. of the Fo- 

 reign Review now before us , we have 

 to say, that its contents are various, 

 exceedingly well chosen , and very ably 

 written. It is almost an impropriety to 

 parlicularise the papers; since nearly 

 all are replete with intelligence and in- 

 struction. We look upon this number 

 to be eminently calculated to inspire 

 and cultivate a taste for foreign litera- 

 ture. » — Literary Gazette. 



« No one but a writer, perfectly ac- 

 quainted with the secret policy of France 

 could have written the elo((uent article 

 on M. de Montlosier's work, entitled, 

 ' Les Jesuites, les Congregations et le 

 parli-pretre en I'rance.' Those articles 

 which we have read , arc sufficient to 

 convince us , that the Editorship of this 

 publication has been confided to clever 

 w riters — to jnen deeply versed in the 

 literature of foreign countries , and su • 

 perior to all party-spirit and national 

 prejudices. » Atlienceum.
