Though the occasions upon which these persona d'splay their eloquence be merely of a private nature—though a very large proportion of them 11.11 T Itt display. cr no opportunity fire dis playing it : 7.1 the profeasiun of advocate is the only one o M.V11•:11,1 which makes the professor of it a gentleman ; and am mg the people of the Athens, of all chimes, the special pleaders before the Coons of Session anal Justiciary —the supreme civil and criminal courts of Scotland, take a deeper bold of the public mind in the Athens, and en gross a greater share of the public attention thaw the orators of St. Stephen's elo in the British metropolis. " One reason of this may he the way in which the di(- ' ferent u trts are blentled to.tether, and in which b ' ws is vomit:coal. The Court of Session is a court of equity, as well as a court of law ; and this is eatremely favourable for the pleader, as the two characters blended together in • the Name c e ation give it a rich and popular character, which it can never have in the still formality of the Eng lish room. t:reat part of the pleadines, too, are written, and this not only keeps the inferior speakers front lowering the general tone of the lair, but enable.; the more cele brat, .1 ton/Mine themselves to such general arguments as are best caleulatell for oratorical display. Another thing: I crimitud trials, which arc ever the rook interesting to the public, are not managott by the fig-enni of the law, as at the Ohl Bailey ; and the counsel fur the prisoner is net limited to legal exceptions in the course al the trial, cross questionings of witnesses, and motions in arrest of judg moo and of punishment, after the jury hare returned their verdict, and are iwyend the reach of his eloquent.... however touching or powerful. In the Scotch critnioal court, whether in the Athens or at the provincial assizea, the law itself takes care that the pritenter, what ever he his crime, shall have the aid of counsel ; anti if the crime Ire remarkable, either from i. enormity or on account of the character or rank of the party accused, then the very first Ci 1111 l i;el at the bar are ranged on his side. These are allowed full scope. both to attack the form ef tb' coo, limine, and to throw every suspicion upon the evidence, and make every appeal to the judg merits and passion: of 'lnjury that ingenuity can suggest, or ehapience apply. The official men who have the con ducting of the prosecution, are not only, gent rally speak ing, men of touch amaller abilities than those who have the conducting of the defew, but upon political grounds, as well as fries that general aversion which men have to the sanguinary operations of the law, the feeling of the public is opposed to Bon, and in favour of their anta gonists." lire arc materials fur reflection in this account, front which our Legislators. on this side the Tweed, might draw wine useful conclusions : " Thure WAS OOlOi!c:," b.i continuo's.

" A case which brings even Theisseg, r to the bar, is one of no common importance, and one never by any chance finds the power , of Brougham, or the acuteness of Sear , hat. come in to save a poet- elan front death. But when I was in the Athens, there was only one trial for a capital crime, and yet the local sagacity of Monerliff, and the burning claque:we of deliiey, were exerted for full two hours, on behalf of the pi isomer ; and exerted, too, in such I a manner as convinced me that the fee must have been the very leaat part of their itolneement. I never heard oNto tions put with so perfect a knowitak:e both of the general I principles of law, or the specialities of the particular CPO., or evidence so se;entifically dissected, as were done by the former ; awl the app, al of Jaffrey to the feelings of the jury, aril even to thus: of the judges, was one of the finest things 1 ever heard. There are many men far more karmad in the law than this celebrated Sootehtnan, and many who can take a far more awe, ping and tonnprehensive view of a siebject ; but all the little sallies of which his speech con sisted, were we sharp as needles, and as shining as ilimnonds. Their brilliancy made you open your bosom to receive them, and their keetur as was such that they would have pined their way in spite of you. Their effect upon the crowd, d encemters ' and upon tile jury, was tremendous; nor was the Lord Justice (lyric himself, who scented not I oily a very proud and consequential person in himself, but by no means a hearty admirer of the barrister, able to realist • the inihnenc^. 'Alien:oar j,•they tore away a pillar of the evidence against his client, and clenched the advantage by an appeal to those paaa, ne which he seemed to know per well pro iv to touch, there was a ';sacral hum of satisfaction in the crowd . ; the jurors harked up with ryes of new hope, a:. mock as to say. we shall be able to acquit him t ;" and the dodge relaxed a little of the lofty severity of his countenance." It is certain that in the English system of criminal jurisprudence, the pre fness of link: and the advancement of knowledge hale by no means introduces! the correspondent improvement which they ought to have done. We do not mean to confine this remark to taw legal system only ; it may be illustrated by a reference to almost every modern volume of cur Statute Iblok, as well as to our leading principles of p In the chapter on Literature the writer descants, with ' considerable and just severity. on the 'Ace of the A theidan Press: the : 1 :.'01',:`4 AN, the Ent , cat non HETI L W.lll.At'L WIMP'S M k:a 71 aetl the rest of its periodicals, are brought L , parately moiler discussion:-- •• It is not, ind.rd. fifty year: since there was any thing like a n frau booLsAler, or a printing-press employed fiir literary i.urposeit in the Athens. Before that time there were per:eins wliw sold bibles and catechisms, and ballads, and penny almanicks, in divers nooks about Libberton Wynd and the Lock,n Booths; and there were printers w ho, w leo a process before the Court of Session became too volumioetts. or when the parties could not afford to pay fur as marry written copies as were necessary, put the elo quence of the advoratio. and the wisdom of the judges, into types. occasional parson, too, would become so far enamoured of his own powers of holding forth, as to have a rer 111111 l , or homily, upon some question of the cate chism, or point ollthet limirewsion of Faith, printed and ; but previous to the year I ;SO it was very rare in deed to I:nd an Athenian speculating in any lite rary work, the pike of obit+ was to be more than six- I pence; end as I'r paying a man for literary labour, the Athenians would as soon have thought of paying a Lapland witch for rriieuring fowl %leather:l Ile sneak ; of the Newspapers in Edinburgh as havirg TITp I!)

In the provincial pmts of Scotland, he met with several journals written with great taste, spirit, and liberality:— I " lint the greatest and most extraordinary step that ever was taken in the periodical literature of the Athens, or indeed of any country. war the appearance of the Elm:- 111,114 M Rvt w—a work, the boldness, spirit, and Minty of which were at tae time altogether unprecedented, and which never yet have been, anti probably never will be, equalled. The Etlitiburgh Review was happy both in the time and the manner of its appearance. Periodical literature had been quite stn cant in the Athens from the time of the Loungers and :11irmrs ; and they had become ton trifling for the awakened anti agitated spirit of the age. In London there were smile reviews, but the best of the m were in the hands or rrligibus sectaries, who puzzled them selves and Omni d their readers with questions veltioh nobody could solve, and nobody would have taken the trouble to solve, even if they could. The whole of them were either tame or timid ; and folks continued to buy them rather with a view of keeping their sets unbroken till chance should introduce. ant, ndinent, than from any desire to read them. The war which had just terminated bad lien expensive, and etc:piing these for whom of bad been obtained, there w as nobody with whom it had ever been popular ; and the war that was liegi,ining, or bomn. had not much to recommend it. There was, indeed, much to say against the conduct of the continental courts, and even against that of the English administration ; people were well prepared and anxious to it. ar it ; and there was no publica tion of the day of sutteient interest in any way to divide or divert the attention. The Review canto like tI ter; and, to give it more title. it come lA, Ithstioder when the air is still, and when men are list e ni ng " Great, however. as was thoialent displayed in the Review, and wide and wondetfid as was the sensation which it produell upon its vary first appearance, the Athens lead little merit in it, except the mere name. The publisher, though be substquendy rose as high in that trade as any English publisher of the time, was then but a young man, not stench known, and not much recognised or esteem. 4 by the Athenians ; the editor was also a young man, recently retunted front England ; and the most spirited contributory to the very early numbers, lead L; no :mans had their minds femur klllOll the Athenian model. The effect which the Review prbduced was alio not per haps so great in the Athens as in London ; and it was only when it had taken its place in the literary world, and the acknowledgment of it was an honour, that the Athenians began to identify it with themselves, and at no time was the identification general,—nor could the whole talent of the Athens, even ullen in its best days, have supported the Review for a single year. " Resides, though the real ability of the Edinburgh Review was great, the vast popularity which it so speedily ebtained, and the brilliant course which it ran, were un questionably in ,r e owing to the novelty of its plan, anal the fact cf its advocating those political principles which were agreeable to the mrjurity of people at the time, than to its merits. " One cause of the rise of the Edinburgh Review, and perhaps also one caul:: of its comparative fall, is the uni formity with which it has all along followed the Whig party. Before that party got into office, and when, in consequence of their boldness and lofty pretensions as op positionists, the opinions of the Edinburgh Review,—at least, its politicakopinions,—which were all along the ones upon which the greater part of its celebrity rested,-were by many ree ived as the infallible oracles of truth; and when the trial which the country had had of that party shook them a little in public estimation, though the Review received a sheep: along with them, it still re tained a eansiderable portion of i:s But, as the opinions of milt h. came a little more liberal, and the fre quency of disappointment made them more and more sus picious of all parties, some Jesuitical articles in the Re view, on the subjects of rep reaentation and reform, shook the confidence of the people in it ; while, much about die same dine, or, at le.ug, not long afterwards, the failure of its prophecies with regard to the ultimate success of Bona parte laid it open to the attacks of the Tories. For the first of these suspicious there appeared lobe but too much fetus dation ; and though the latter was more Jesuitical than just, still it was the interest of the parties to pros it to ex. minify. When the Edinburgh Revit w rcilicted the ultimate triumph of Napoleon, it did not, of eourve, antici pate, that he noted, with the Example of Charles XII. before him, undertake so hazardous an enterprise as a winter campaign into the interior of Russia ; hut d.! Review did not cuter a 'sweat against such an excursion ; and, therefore, it was held as prophesying in the face of this as well as of all the other chances. " I hare naticed those circumstances with a view of showing, not only that the absolute literary merits of the Edinburgh Itcview were not the sole cause of its popu larity, but that even though they had, the merit sloes not in the whole, or even in the greater part, belong to the Athens. The Athens never could, of her own will, ability, end pa tronage, support a single literary man; and it could not well be expected that she could, fur any length of time, support a literary work." This I listory of the Athena, as will be seen, embraces a wide scope of observation ; and is not the le., acceptable fur being condensed within the compass of a single volume.
