THE EDINBURGH REVIEW

IlI IeE4H LEW
is the exponent of the Wing party in Great Britain,
having from its commencement advocated Freedom
and the rights of the people. When the war, ap.
parently Of determination, was waged against
France by British Tory rnlers, and during which
occurred the second great struggle of England
with O1r own country, this Review first unfured
the flag of resistance, made by its unanswerable
and eloquent appeals in behalf Of inaenable rights
the halls Of legislation and even the throne itself
to tremble The graphic and stirring deleneatlons
Of those events presented in the pages of that dis
ungushed Journal exhibit the truest portrailure Of
those perilous days to be found, perhaps, in the
language. It's influence was becoming 50 apparent
that at length the leaders of the Tory party, al
whom the thunders of its eoquence were especial
y directed, found it too powerful an instrument u
be resisted by ordinary means, and hence they es
tablished the Quarterly" or it is distinguished
among the American Reprints,
THE LONDON QTARTELY REVIEW
whereby TO counteract that influence which its pow.
ertul rival exerled against their measures. The
Two great political parties thus made strenuous eff.
forts through their respective organs, for the pro-
mitigation of their antagonist principles and dur
ing a long series of years these two leading Peri
odicals have concentrated the labors, the talent
and the influence Of the adhereDts Of the Wing and
Tory parties Of Great Britain.
Men Of the highest literary rank as dignitaies
civil and ecclesiastc, have contributed to the pages
of these works: among them might be mentioned
some Of tho most resplendent names on the scroll
Of fame. Among the regular contributors to the
London Quarterly Review were Southey Scott
Lockhart (its present editor), Appearson, Fergu-
son, Wordsworth, Lord Mahan, DIR. Milman (whosc
articles on Oriental literature have been highly
esteemed and that wonderful women Of science
Mrs Someryille, with many others scarcely less
celebrated. Then again in the Edinburgh Review
it is enough to mention the following names, any
one which it might be associated we refer to
JefFreys. Napier, BTOugham, M0ekintosh, and
McCaulay the iiTst Of whom during his long Con.
nexion with the Review actually wrote, on the av.

This work has ever been especially devoted to the
great topics which interest the mass of the people :
its pages has been rife, it will be rememb cred, with
a series Of powerful articles, tending to the reduc
ton Of Tory and exclusive privileges, hereditary
rights, kingly prorogativcs, &c. The astounding
developments made a few years since, respecting
the wretched and then, unheard ofhorors Of some
branches of the mining population of England,
first appeared 10 its pages. Not only have its ar
ticles ever been directed against the afore~menlpn
ed abuses the work has also maintained an unre-
lentng crusade against the alliance Of Church aud
State, thus virtually seeking to abolish the Par
iamentary Religion of England, and eventually
to remove the still existing marks Of feudalism,
which continue 10 affiict the British nation. Il

Golden pfomulgates his Free trade doctrines,
