Museum Of Foreign Literature and Science.


This work has now been published more than
three years. It's plan embraced every thing val
liable in the Journals of Europe-but while it
yet remained to be proved that this plan would
be acceptable to the public-it was not thought
expedient to incur the great expense necessary
to execute it fully--or to encounter the disad-
vantage of copying from Journals to which our
readers might perhaps be subscribers On these
accounts we have, with one or two exceptions,
avoided the Edinburgh and Quarterly Reviews.
All doubts Of the success of work on the plan
of the Museum, have been entirely removed by
the experiment. and the best proof gratitude for
the public favour will be found in increased ef-
forts to deserve it.


The new series contains double the quantity Of
matter that was i'll the first-and when it is coii-
sdered that that was already the cheapest peri
odica work in the country, it will be evident that
we offer very considerable inducements to SUBJ
scribers. here will be twelve numbers year,
each containing nearly as much as one ofthe Re-
views. This increase of space enables us to re-
print euery thing acorM yeprinting, in the Edin-
burgh and Quarterly Reviews, in addition to the
following works, from which we have regularly
drawn our supplies heretofore: Blackwood's Mag
azine, London Magazine, Edinburgh Magazine,
Westminster Review, Retrospective Review, Lit
erary Gazette, London journal of Science Liter
ature and the Arts, Brcwster's Edinburgh Philo-
sophicai Journal, European Magazine, New
Monthly Magazine, Monthly Magazine, British
Critic, British Review, Monthly Review, Acker-
mans Repository, La Belle Assemblee, Electric
Review, Christian Observer, Ladies' Magazine,
Pocket Magazine, and all new Journals of merit,
for which we have standing orders abroad
The Editor Of a journal consisting entirely of
selections from Foreign Journals, may perhaps be
allowed, without the imputation of vanity, to
speak of the quality, as we'll as the quantity, of
the matter contained in his work 1t is very eyi-
dent that an abundance is offered to his choice,
amp as the Journals of Great Britain are support
ed by writers of great talent and high reputa-
ton, to whom large salaries are paid, much must
be off very superior order. 1t would seem then
to be easy to compile, from all these Journals,
one which shall be superior to uny one of them
