duplicity, begging, fashion or foolery in any
shape whatever.
Three Rules will be rigidly enforced: Ist,

Yankee drumming, for students, need be ex
pected, nor no beggars employed by this Col
lege.

heretofore extended to him in his profession, begs again

THE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conservative).
THE KDINGBURGH REVIEW (Whig).
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Free Church).
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal).
BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
riIHE great ami important events—Religious, Political,
X and Military—now agitating the nations of the Old
World, give to these Publications an interest nnd value
they never before possessed. They occupy a middle
ground between tlie hastily written news items, crude
speculation?, ami flying rumors of tho newspaper, ami
the ponderous Tome of tho historian, written long after
tho living interest in tho facts he records shall have
passed away. The progress of the War in the East occu
pies a large space in their pages. Every movement is
closely criticised, whether of friend or of foe, and all
short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
tho Crimea ami from the bultie in Blackwood's Magazine,
from two of its most popular contributors, give a more
intelligible ami reliable account of the movement* of the
great belligerents that can elsewhere be found.
These Periodicals ably represent the three great- politi
cal parties of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, and Radical,-
but politic* forms only one feature of their character.—
As Organs of the most profound writers on Science, Lite
raturv, Morality, ami Religion, they stand, as they ever
have stood, unrivalled in the world of letters, being con
sidered indispensable to tlie scholar and the professions!
