We are indebted to an English publication for an
idea of The British Law of Libel as affecting case,
of Literary Criticism. The following case was ad-
Indicated before Lord Peterborough:
A Mr.. Upper edited a work called the Monthly
Meteor, and took occasion to publish there an ar
ticle, pretty severely rejecting upon some publica-
tons Of a certain Mr.. Tabart, who was n vender OF
books, both new and old, as being Of improper ten
lency, absurd, immoral, &c. MIR. 1abart there
fore brought his suit against Mr.. Upper for writing
and publishing the said article, alleging the same TO
be a most gross, scandalous, malicious and wicked
libel, and alleging also, that he (Mr. Tabar) was
of spotless, and almost angelic purity Of reputation
in his business, in the usual hyperbole Of legal rhe-
toric. MIR. Upper admitted the writing and pu-
blishing Of the said article in the Meteor, but de-
MED, in every possible form in which language
can be tortured into a negation, both that the said
article was a libel on MIR. Tabart, and that he, Mr..
Tabart, was OF good reputation.
AT the trial, Mr.. Upper insisted on his right to
prove that the general run of Mr.. Tabarts publica-
ton was of such a nature, that young LADIES could
not read them, unless alone, or exclusively in the
company of their own sex. This was objected to
by Mr.. Tabart, as being a kind Of attack upon q
man on all points of the compass at once, and that
no man. not even Achilles, would be safe. in so cir
c~umambient an onset. But MIR. Upper produced a
case wherein Lord Kenyon admitted evidence OF
the general nature Of the plaintiffs works, aud 1t
appearing that they were themselves OF a hbelous
and scandalous character, his Lordship threw hs
parchment at the plaintiffs head. and drove him
out of Court with infamy. Lord Ellenborough adj
mitted the evidence, and said the main question Is
q,o amino. MIR. Upper wrote and published the
article complained Of, whether he meant to put
down a nuisance to public morals, or merely to M
lure the plaintiff; and in order to ascertain this,it
is material 10 know the general nature OF Mr.. Ia
bsr,'s publication. Mr.. Tabert must show that
Mr. Upper was ac,uated BY malice, and Mr. Tip
per may excuse himself by proving the contrary.
Liberty of criticism must be allowed or we should
have neither purity Of taste or ofmorals. fe,r as
cus,ion is essentially necessary to the truth OF his'o-
~ and the advancement OF science. That can new
!. h.. Ib.l which has for il, object to correc, mis-
