ous building, planned by the best architectu
ral talent, uml erected in the most substantial
manner, is now nearly ready for the reception

tees have spared neither pains nor expense to
meet the demands of utility and beauty in the
construction of the edeficc.

lowing leading British Periodicals, viz:
THE LONDON QUARTERLY (Conservative).
THE EDINOBUKGH REVIEW (Whig).
THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW (Free Church).
THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW (Liberal).
BLACKWOOD’S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE (Tory).
riMIE great and important events —Religious, Political,
X “ad Military—now agitating the nations of tho 01a
World, give to these Publications an interest and value
they never before possessed. They occupy a middle
ground between tlie hastily written news items, crude
speculations, and flying minors of the newspaper, and
tlm ponderous Tome of the historian, written long after
the living interest in the facts he records shall have
panned away. The progress of tlie War in the East occu
pies a large space in their pages. Every movement is
closely criticised, whether of frtend or of foe, and all
short-comings fearlessly pointed out. The letters from
tho Crimea and from the Buliic in Blackwood’s Magazine,
from two of its most popular contributors, give u more
intelligible aud reliable account of the movements of the
great belligerents that can elsewhere be found.
These Periodicals ably represent tlie three great politi
cal parties of Great Britain—Whig, Tory, and Radical,—
brtt politics ihriiis only one feature of their character.—
As Organs of tlie most profound writers on Science, Lite
rature, Morality, and Religion, they stand, as they ever
have stood, unrivalled iu the world of letters, being con
sidered indispensable to the scholar ami the professional
man, while to the intelligent reader of every class they
furnisii a more correct and satisfactory record of the cur
rent literature of the day. throughout the world, than
can lie possibly obtained from any other source.
