" The first number of a periodical work, exclusively devoted to the literature of 

 other countries, has just been published under the title of The Foreign Quartedii 

 Review. The object of this undertaiiing appears to us to be one of no inconsiderable 

 utility. There issue from the presses of the continent many important works, of which 

 only fivery vague and imperfect account is obtained in this country long after they are 

 published. There was therefore wanting a channel through which regular and accurate 

 information of this description might be conveyed, not only to the general reader, but 

 to those aho compose the more literary portion of the public, and whose taste and 

 pursuits make them feel an interest in the whole circle of the labours of the republic of 

 letters. It is true that the reviews already published occasionally notice foreign pub- 

 lications, but this task is likely to be better executed in a work, of which that branch 

 of literatuj-e is the undivided object. The division of labour has its advantages in intel- 

 lectual as well as in other pursuits. From the slight glance which we have yet been 

 able to take of the Review before us, we arc persuaded that the expectations, which 

 considerations such as those to which we have adverted must suggest, will not be dis- 

 appointed." After noticing the t-.vo first articles, it proceeds. — " These two articles 

 are said to be from the pens of Mr. Southey and Sir Walter Scott. The nature of the 

 subject will sufficiently indicate to whom each respectively belongs. We have not time 

 to say a word upon the other articles, except that, as far as we have looked at them, 

 they deserve to be mentioned with approbation, and that when we have room we may, 

 perhaps, return to them. The Review concludes with a very copious and useful col- 

 lection of Miscellaneous Literary Notices." — Times. 



" This work promises to till up a blank which, with all their fitness of means and
