BRITISH PERIODICAL LITERATURE. REPUBLICATION OF The London Quarterly Review, The Edinburg Review, The North British Review, The Westminster Review, and Blackwood’s Edinburgh Maga- ZINE. The wide-spread fame of these splendid periodi cals 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 published, while the political complexion of each is marked by a dignity, candor, and forbearance, not often found in works of a party character. They embrace the views of the three great parties in England—Tory, Whig and Radical —Blackwood and the London Quarterly are Tory ; the Edinburgh Review, Whig; and the Westminster Review Radi cal. The North British Review is more of a reli gious character, having been originally edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since his death, being conducted by his son-in-law, Dr, Hanna, associated with Sir David Brewster, Its literary character is of the very highest order. The ‘ Westminster,’ though re printed under that title only, is published in England under the title of the Foreign Quarterly and West minster, it being in fact a union ol the two Reviews formerly published and reprinted under separate ti bles. it has, therefore, the advantage by this combi lation, of uniting in one work the best features of both as heretofore issued. The above Periodicals are reprinted in New York, immediately on their arrival by the British steamers, in a beautiful clear type, on fine whitepaper,and are faithful copies of the originals, Blackwood’s Magazine being an exact sac-simile of the Edinburgh edition.

For any one of the four Reviews, per annum •• $3 00 For any two “ “ ‘, 00 For any three “ “ • • 7 00 For all four of the Reviews, “ • • 8 00 For Blackwood’s Magazine “ • • 3 00 For Blackwood and three Reviews, “ • • 900 For Blackwood and the four Reviews “ ••10 00 Payments to be made in all cases in advance. EARLY COPIES. Our late arrangement with the British publishers of Blackwood’s Magazine secures to us early sheets of that work, by which we are enabled to place the entire number in the hands of subscribers before any ( portion of it can be reprinted in any of the American journals. For this and other advantages secured to our subscribers, we pay so large a consideration, that we may be compelled to raise the price of the maga zine. Something may therefore be gained by sub scribing early. *** Remittances and communications should be al ways addressed, post-paid or franked, to the pub lishers.

PROSPECTUS OF THE SEVENTH VOLUME OF 'fk if <%> MONTHLY JOURNAL, \ \ f / t; Devoted \ V*. £o tlie interests ol\#\ SOUTHERN AGrRICTTLTURE. EDITED BY DANIEL LEE, M.D. Illustrated with numerous elegant and costly Engravings. TERMS.—ONE DOLLAR PER ANNUM, IN ADVANCE. The character and object of the SOUTHERN CULTIVATOR are so well known, wherever it has been read, that the Publishers deem it scarcely ne cessary to say anything in reference thereto in sub mitting a Prospectus, for the SEVENTH VOLUME. To establish an AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL worthy of the South, and her varied and diversified products, industry and resources, has been their highest ambition; and although their efforts have been but poorly rewarded, they flatter themselves their labor has not been in vain. The services of an Editor, Dr. LEE, one of the first practical and scien tific Agriculturists in the Union, have been secured at a heavy expense; and the work is embellished by a most accomplished Artist, whose labors are exclu sively devoted to its illustration, indeed, no effort nor expense has neen spared to render the work most useful and instructive to those for whose exclusive benefit it is designed. Having performed fully, as we think, our duty, it remains to be seen whether the Planters of the South will “ put their shoulders to the wheel” and aid us and themselves in this great work of improving the husbandry and meliorating the social condition of the whole people. We think they will, and it is our confidence in their intelligence and liberality which has sustained us through years of unrewarded toil. The Work should be in the hands of and read by every one who has the charge of a family in the Southern States; and to show how earnest we are in our desire to excite an effort among our friends to extend its circulation and usefulness, we offer the following splendid Premiums to those who may interest themselves in procuring subscribers : $750 in Premiums. fjfPor the highest number of subscribers, not less than one hundred, sent by any one individual, a 'premium of twenty-five dollars. For the next highest number, not less than eighty, twenty dollars. Ur For the next highest number, not less than sixty, fifteen dollars. For the next highest number, not less than fifty, ten dollars. For the next highest number, not less than forty, five dollars. These Premiums will be paid in the most approved Agricultural works, and will apply to each of the fol lowing named ten States, viz ; North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkar.st s and Texas. So that each State may secure an t, «ire list of premiums, ii the friends of Agriculture bestir themselves. They will receive the work at the Club price. The premiums to be awarded on the first day of MARCH, 1849. All persons who desire to enter the list for Pre miums must notify us on forwarding the first names.
