"With regard to No. I. of the Foreign Review' now before us, we have to say, that its contents are various, exceedingly well chosen, and very ably written. On the whole, we look upon this Number to be eminently calculated to inspire and cultivate a taste for foreign literature."-Literary Gazette. "A general reproach against Quarterly Reviews is, that they notice but a very small number of books; this fault, which is in some degree excusable in the Edinburgh and the Quarterly Reviews, since they have such powerful auxiliaries in monthly and weekly publications, would be a serious defect in a work which is intended to make us acquainted with foreign literature. The editor of the Foreign Review' has been fully aware of this, and the principal difference between his work and the Foreign Quarterly' is, that in the former we find, after a succession of long reviews, by skilful writers, short notices of books, in addition to a list of the most important works printed on the Continent. This is certainly an improvement, which must obtain for the work before us a preference over its rival. From the superior style in which it is written, it must necessarily reckon among its contributors some of the first English and Foreign literati of the day."-Literary Chronicle. "The Foreign Review,' just published by Black, Young, and Young, is decidedly one of the cleverest periodica's of the day. We never remember to have read a more curious paper than that with which it concludes; it is a picture of Turkey, painted by the experienced hand of a Fanariot Greek, who was for some year ssecretary-interpreter to the Porte, which is the highest office that a Christian can have under that barbarous government. We think it decidedly the best Quarterly that has appeared for some time."--Sunday Times. Those articles which we have read have sufficed to convince us, that the editorship of this publication has been confided to clever writers to men deeply versed in the literature of foreign countries, and superior to all party spirit and national preju dices."-Athenaum, This day is published, Part I.

For this purpose it is intended that the London Medical Gazette" should consist of Original Papers, in the form of Lectures or Essays; Critical Analyses of Medical Works; Reports of the most interesting Cases occurring at Public Institutions, both at Home and Abroad; and all such Medical Intelligence as may be calculated to excite interest.
