the pen of an able writer. We have two articles on different phases of Puseyism,-the one exhibiting the poetry of the Tractarians, the other their ethics,-both excellent, the latter profound. The review of the Swedish Novels is very effective. The Policy of Party is a luminous, philosophical, and comprehensive review of the proceedings of the Whig and Tory Governments since the passing of the Reform Bill. The concluding article is one of the ablest in the Number. It displays remarkable critical powers, and a keen and penetrating judgment."

SCOTTISH HERALD." It evidently bears the impress of genius, and, what is of equal, if not greater consequence, it possesses freedom and independence of sentiment."

SCOTSMAN." It embraces subjects of the highest interest, both literary and political, evidently treated with great ability."

SHERBORNE JOURNAL.-"The first Number is a very pleasing and a very promising one. Thoroughly liberal in its tone, and imbued with high religious feeling, this new claimant upon public support discusses current questions, popular literature, and theology with great force and ability."

SOMERSET COUNTY GAZETTE.- "The articles generally are written with a spirit of truthfulness and earnestness, as well as force, which cannot fail to gain for the work the respect, if not the support of men of all parties; it well deserves both."

SOMERSET COUNTY HERALD.-"The contents constitute a large quantity of matter, and of a quality, too, fully equal to its pretensions."

STOCKPORT ADVERTISER." This new and voluminous periodical is admirably adapted to the character and taste of the present times. It associates an attention to theological subjects, with a proper appreciation of literary, scientific, and political topics ; and, as every contribution appears to consult more the happiness, virtue, and intelligence of the community than the views and interests of party, the cause of religion and humanity will find in the North British Review a liberal and effective champion."

THE SUN." This is the first number of a new Quarterly periodical, which bids fair to cbtain no inconsiderable share of public favour. The articles have, in the first place, the merit of being selected with judgment; and, secondly, they are ably canvassed, and are just of a fitting length."

TAUNTON COURIER." The sterling merit of this new aspirant to public favour, if continued in the same degree of commanding eminence of talent, must ensure it a permanent claim to adoption in every literary circle."

THE WATCHMAN." A Review qualified to rank with the leading Quarterlies in intellectual and literary power, and, at the same time, conducted on strictly religious principles, has long been a desideratum. Such a work the present promises to be. It is abundantly evident, that a corps of contributors has been secured, competent to the adequate treatment of the various classes of subjects that may demand attention in a periodical of the highest character. As a specimen Number, this is an excellent one, and we cordially wish that the undertaking may succeed."

WESTERN TIMES, EXETER.-"The topics discussed indicate a sturdy band of associated and liberal brothers."
