The Fifteenth Number of the Foreign Quarterly Review has just
made its appearance, and maintains the high character for talent and industry which the work has already won from the world of literature. We may say with perfect justice, that a reader of good education and literary tastes can take up no other periodi- cal with a better prospect of entertainment and information. There are many valuable articles in this Number. We may particularize the papers on NIEBUHICS second volume and the one on the Foreign Policy of England (which contains an admirable apology for Lord CASTLEREAGH), and also that on Spain. The extract of VICTOR HUGO'S new novel is highly entertaining and curious. The conception of some of the scenes is the most ori- ginal and striking thing in romance. No man living could reduce them to canvas unless A were MARTIN, and he would fall short in diablerie.
