THE Briti/h Criliet i« 1 regular Review of
ill the works puMifttfJ in Great Britun ;
it it conduced with great impartiality iad abi
lity, and of the numerout pablieatinm of the
Jtind wliirh do now appear, and which have

allowed to be the best.
[Price 50 Cents*]
The j4nti-Jacebin and Magazine is
as its tide feen-a to indicate, rather more c<m
#red, as to thr nature of ita fubjefis, but it
certainly it not less calculated for eatenfive uti
lity. This work is diudad into four depart
ments: i Original Criticii'm —a A Review of
the other Iteviewj- 3 Oi cafional Fflays, in prose
and verse—and 4 th, A Monthly Summiry of
Hitory and Politics Every fix months it has
a fopplrmenti containing a review of foreign
works, not forgetting those of America. The
Anti-Jacobin rtwa!l»l"l'a on lubjafts which are
merely literary and fciemific, thaa on those
which have a mors immediate influence on so
eicty. With a bold and maflerty hand, it cor
real the blunderings of error, traces the intri
cate windings of misrepresentation, and drips
efFtie -vafk of hypocrily. The avowed cham
pion of the church and the state, it spares the
enemies of neither, whether open or secret;
and, fr irnitig the pufillanimotis deftllfive, up
on which tVe friends of truth have too long
allrd, it carries on fceontinnal and vigoroiS
ofienfive warfare against anarchy, immorality,
ind irreligfnn, and tfms eftablilhesby its uni
form conduift, ita right to tlie title it has as-
f'jmed.
