[56] It may be worth while to insert here a copy of the American advertisement of the April Number, in which a denunciation of American piracy, which had been inserted in an article on the "Model Republic," is actually put forward as a _puff_ of the reprint. Blackwood's Magazine FOR APRIL, will be published TO-MORROW MORNING. CONTENTS. I. Cromwell. II. Lays and Legends of the Thames--Part III. III. Letters on the Truths contained in Popular Superstitions, No. 2--Vampyrism. No. 3--Spirits, Goblins, Ghosts. IV. A New Sentimental Journey. V. The Fighting Eighty-Eighth. VI. Lord Sidmouth's Life and Time. VII. How they manage Matters in the Model Republic. VIII. Horæ Catalinæ--No. 2. IX. Lessons from the Famine. Extract from the article on the "Model Republic":-- "When these malignant pages arrive in New York, every inhabitant of that good city will abuse us heartily, except our publisher. But great will be the joy of that furacious individual, as he speculates in secret on the increased demand of his agonized public. Immediately he will put forth an advertisement, notifying the men of 'Gotham' that he has on board a fresh sample of British Insolence, and hinting that, although he knows they care nothing about such things, the forthcoming piracy of Maga will be on the most extensive scale."

Archaic and variable spelling has been preserved. Variations in hyphenation and compound words have been preserved. Italics are shown thus: _sloping_. Small capitals have been capitalised. On page 22, --Mr Newdegate's Speech, has been given the value "Footnote 19:", omitted from the text. On page 107 the transcriber could not construe the word (Nug ee?). A search for Mr Brummell's tailor or another name for an outfitter proved fruitless. Due to a lack of space in 'THIRTY YEARS OF LIBERAL LEGISLATION', the last column of a table has been placed below the body of the table. Similarly a table in footnote 2 has been condensed at the cost of some aesthetics. End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 63, No. 387, January, 1848, by Various
