LEONARD SCOTT & CO.'S LIST OF REPUBLICATIONS: THE LONDON QUARTERLY REVIEW, THE NORTH BRITISH REVIEW, THE WESTMINSTER REVIEW, AND BLACKWOOD'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE. THE wide-spread fame of these splendid Periodicals 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 Liberal"Blackwood" and the "London Quarterly" are Tory; the "Edinburgh Review" Whig; and the "Westminster Review" Liberal. The "North British Review" owes its establishment to the last great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland, and is not ultra in its views on any one of the grand departments of human knowledge; it was originally edited by Dr. Chalmers, and now, since his death, is 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 reprinted under that title only, is published in England under the title of the "Foreign Quarterly and Westminster," it being in fact a union of the two Reviews formerly published and reprinted under separate titles. It has, therefore, the advantage by this combination 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 white paper, and are faithful copies of the originals, Blackwood's Magazine being an exact fac simile of the Edinburgh edition. EARLY COPIES. Our late arrangement with the British publishers of Blackwood, 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. PAYMENTS TO BE MADE IN ALL CASES IN ADVANCE. CLUBBING. Four copies of any or all of the above works will be sent to one address on payment of the regular subscription for three-the fourth copy being gratis Publishers. Remittances and communications should be always addressed, post-paid or franked, to the OPINIONS OF THE PRESS. "The Republication of the Foreign Reviews and Blackwood, issued so cheaply by L. Scort & Co., brings the whole World of Literature within the reach of all who read."-NY. Tribune. "These Invaluable Reprints may be regarded as a kind of telegraphic communication with the World of letters, and indispensable to those not having the leisure to travel over the ground which they occupy."-Home Journal. "We sit down to these Reviews as to a rich feast. Always replete with the best thoughts of the best heads of England, there is no more delightful intellectual excitement than they afford." -Christian Inquirer. "They are afforded so low, and, in the present unsettled state of Europe, are so indispensable to a correct understanding of the nature and tendency of the important events which so rapidly follow one another there, that we wonder that all who can afford any luxury, are not subscribers to them."-Nantucket Inquirer. The First Prize Essay on the Sabbath, HEAVEN'S ANTIDOTE TO THE CURSE OF LABOR; OR, THE TEMPORAL ADVANTAGES OF THE SABBATH, CONSIDERED IN RELATION TO THE WORKING CLASSES. BY JOHN ALLAN QUINTON.

The fact that it was selected for the FIRST PRIZE by the intelligent adjudicators must be a sufficient proof of its value. The American edition will contain illustrations, and a very interesting preface by Dr. TYNG, and will be issued in the same style as The Pearl of Days;' and though it will contain about forty pages more, will be sold at the same price, viz: 37 cents.

BANCROFT, the American minister, a magnificently bound copy of their unabridged edition of WEBSTER'S Dictionary. It was given to the Queen through her husband, Prince ALBERT, and its receipt has been acknowledged by the secretary of His Royal Highness. The acknowledgment is of course directed to His Excellency the American Minister, and we have the pleasure of presenting it to our readers. —Springfield Republican. SIR: I have the honor to inform your Excellency that Her Majesty the Queen has accepted with great pleasure the copy of the last edition of WEBSTER's English Dictionary,' which, according to the directions you gave me, was laid by me before His Royal Highness Prince ALBERT, and was presented afterwards by the Prince to Her Majesty, on the part of the publishers, Messrs. MERRIAM; and I have been commanded to express to your Excellency, and to beg of you to transmit to Messrs. MERRIAM, Her Majesty's gracious thanks for this beautiful present, which Her Majesty highly values, not only on account of the great merits of the work itself, but still more so as a sign of those feelings towards Her Royal Person on the part of a large portion of the Anglo-American nation, which your Excellency informed me it was intended to represent, and which, after the political disunion which has taken place between the United Kingdom and the United States, could not indeed have found a more appropriate way of expressing themselves than the presentation to Her Majesty of a work on the English language which directly refers to that powerful and indissoluble bond by which the two cognate nations on the eastern and Western side of the Atlantic will forever remain united. Your Excellency, as well as Messrs. MERRIAM, will no doubt feel great pleasure in learning that Her Majesty has placed the work presented through your Excellency amongst the few selected volumes which compose her own private library. I have the honor to be, Sir, • Your Excellency's faithful servant, Buckingham Palace, June 20th, 1849. HIS EXCELLENCY, THE AMERICAN MINISTER. C. MEYER, SEC'Y TO H. R. H. PRINCE ALBert.

THIS is pronounced, by the press of America and England, 'the best Magazine in America.' It has now begun its thirty-fourth volume, and in its list of upward of a hundred contributors, are found the names of every distinguished writer, male and female, in America, with several equally prominent of Great Britan, Turkey, Sweden, etc. A new volume, containing a superb engraving, a portrait of the editor, engraved by CHENEY, from a painting by ELLIOTT, was commenced on the first day of July, 1849. The following notices of the KNICKERBOCKER are from the American and English press, to which might be added hundreds of others. THE last KNICKERBOCKER is exceedingly good. Some of the articles are worthy of BLACKWOOD'S palmiest days. The Editor's Table is in Mr. CLARK's happiest vein; varied and racy in a remarkable degree.'-New-York Commercial Advertiser. THE KNICKERBOCKER seems to increase in attraction as it advances in age. It exhibits a monthly variety of contributions unsurpassed in number or ability.' — National Intelligencer. THE KNICKERBOCKER is one of the most valuable Magazines of the day, and outstrips all competi tion in the higher walks of literature.' — Albany Argus. "THE KNICKERBOCKER MAGAZINE is now beyond a question the magazine of the country. Whoever wishes his money's worth, and something over, let him subscribe now to Old KNICK,' and our word for it, the Editor's Table alone will amply satisfy his expectations. It is not a periodical to be lightly glanced over and thrown by, but it forms a library book to save and re-read.. A set of the KNICKERBOCKER, bound up in volumes, on the shelves of one of our popular libraries, is more consulted (so the librarian has often told us) than any other similar work.'- Boston Daily Transcript. THE LONDON EXAMINER.-This very clever Magazine is the pleasantest periodical in the United States. Its articles, which are numerous and short, various and interesting, are well worthy of imitation by our Magazines on this side of the Atlantic.' LONDON MORNING CHRONICLE.-Judging from the numbers before us, we are inclined to consider this the best of all the American literary periodicals. Its contents are highly interesting, instructive and amusing.' REDUCTION IN PRICE TO CLUBS. The publisher has determined to do every thing in his power to bring the Knickerbocker within the means of all, and invites the attention of those who feel an interest in circulating the best American literature, to the following terms to clubs, viz: For five copies sent to one address, the price will be $20 00 66 ten 64 Post Masters throughout the United States are invited and requested to act as agents.

To the Subscribers and all interested in our Work. The publisher desires to avail himself of this opportunity to thank those who have manifested their unabated interest in the Knickerbocker, by sending subscribers. Quite a number have done so, and no doubt with a very slight effort on the part of some friends, our list might be doubled. As a further inducement for this effort on the part of our patrons, we wish to say, that no pains or expense will be spared to enhance the value of the work, and our pages will prove that our readers will receive at least as large a share of benefit from our increased means as we could expect ourselves.
