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.
