REPUBLICATIONS OF FOREIGN MAGAZINES. 
London, Edinburgh, Foreign, and Westmin¬ 
ster Quarterly Reviews, and Blackwood’s Ma¬ 
gazine. 
The above Periodicals are reprinted in New York, immediately 
on their arrival by the British steamers, in a beautiful clear 
type, on fine white paper, and are faithful copies of the originals 
—Blackwood’s Magazine being an exact fac-simile of the Edin¬ 
burgh edition. 
The wide-spread fame of these splendid Periodicals renders 
it needless to say much in their praise. As literary organs, they 
stand far in advance of any works of a similar stamp now pub¬ 
lished, while their political complexion is marked by a dig 
nity, candor, and forbearance not often found in works of a party 
character. 
They embrace the views of the three great parties in England, 
Whig, Tory, and Radical, “ Blackwood ” and the “ London 
Quarterly ” are Tory; the “ Edinburgh Review ” Whig; and the 
“ Westminster” Radical. The “Foreign Quarterly ” is purely 
literary, being devoted principally to criticisms on foreign Conti¬ 
nental Works. 
The prices of the Re-prints are less than one-third of those 
of the foreign copies ; and while they are equally well got up, 
they afford all that advantage to the American over the English 
TERMS. 
PAYMENT TO BE MADE IN ADVANCE. 
For the four Quarterly Reviews, $8.00 per annum, 
three “ “ 7.00 
two “ “ 5.00 “ 
one “ “ 3.00 “
