Of those events, presented in the pages Of that dis
ungushcd Journal, exhibit the truest portfaiture Of
those perlous days to be found, perhaps, in the
language. Its influence was becoming so apparent
that at length the leaders of the Tory party At
whom the thunders of its eloqucnce were especial
y directed, found it too powerful instrument to
be resisted by ordinary means, and hence they es-
tablished the Quarterly or it is distinguished

described-but is, nevertheless, destined to occupy
as prominent place in the Republic Of Letters.
Tho great ecclesiastical movement in Scotland

necessities of the Anti National church agitation.
Indeed, the revolution caused by the disruption
induced new state of things, placing the actors
in new positions Of observation: nor could ihey
give utterance to their perceptions Of State and
Church Poliey-their new symalhies-their new
emotions, without some organ ofthought than any
hen extant. Hence the spontaneous agreement Of
the great master minds among them, in the neces-
sity Of new outlet Of opinion and the immediate
creation Of the North British Review. The basis
of this Journal is the Evangelism Of the Nineteenth
century nor is II to be overlooked as one of the
striking eharacteristcs Of the times and the grand
principle which Robertson, Smith, and many of
the eminent men ofScotland took the field centu-
~ ago to write down, is now advocated and vim
