HISTORICAL REVIEW.
"There is a wonderful improvement in the conducting of this, the oldest of our monthly periodicals."—Hull Advertiser.
"A better or more valuable work for country book societies, lending libraries, and reading rooms, it is impossible to find within the whole compass of English Literature. Its literary articles are peculiarly sound in principle, and its criticisms liberal but just; whilst its Obituary confers upon it a national importance. We are sure then we cannot do a better service to our friends, and more especially to those connected with institutions like those we have adverted to, than in recommending this work to their support."—Nottingham Review.
