The following is a list of tiic principal 

 periodical works publishing at I'aris: — 



'* Le Revue Encyelopediipie," conduct- 

 ed by M. Jiillicn, aided by the principal 

 ni.cn of letters in Franre, and inferior iu 

 its general contents to no journal in 

 Europe.

 tury," a literary journal, published in 

 niunbprs evrry Sattnday. 



"Tlie Annals of Literature and the 

 Arts." 



" The Universal Tablets," conducted by 

 M. Coste, on a novel plan, wliich allows 

 but little room for literature, properly so 

 called. The writers treat, ex professo, of 

 all that is desirable iu theory and usefid 

 in practice, with respect to the political 

 regimen. 



"The Parisian Moons" (Luvcs Pari- 

 sicnncs), a salmagundi of tales, of literary

 ther planet, the events and characters not 

 caring to appear on this. 



"La Psyche." 



'• L'Albnni.'' 



"The Universal Bidletin of Sciences," 

 conducted by M. Ferrusae, claims the 

 merit of many new and origuial observa- 

 tions on subjects of literature, with a co- 

 pious einnoeration of works published in 

 France and other countries on the phy- 

 sical and other sciences.

 edited by M. Hajot. 



Sixteen periodical publications, more or 

 less worthy of attention, enter minutely 

 into investipalions relative to Physiology, 

 INIedicinc, Pharmaey, and the Medical

 Medical Sciences ;" " the Complementary 

 or Supplementaiy Journal," of the same, 

 sciences, of which M. Pancoucke is the 

 editor; "the Gazette of Health;" "the

 New Medical Library ;'' " the Medical 

 Keview ;" " the General Archives of Me- 

 dicine ;'' and the two Physiological Jour- 

 nals of Messrs. Broussais and Majendie,
