Everything about Edinburgh Review totally explained
The
Edinburgh Review was one of the most influential British
magazines of the
19th century. It took for its motto "judex damnatur ubi nocens absolvitur" ("The judge is condemned when the guilty is acquitted.") from
Publilius Syrus.
Started on
October 10 1802 by
Francis Jeffrey,
Sydney Smith and
Henry Brougham, it was published by
Archibald Constable in quarterly issues until
1929. The magazine began as a literary and political review and under its first editor,
Francis Jeffrey the magazine was a strong supporter of the
Whig party and
laissez-faire politics, and regularly called for political reform. Its main rival was the
Quarterly Review which supported the
Tories. The magazine was also noted for its attacks on the
Lake Poets, particularly
William Wordsworth.
An earlier short-lived magazine with a similar title and purpose
Edinburgh Magazine and Review (
1773 -
1776) was published monthly but has no other connection to the later version.
The magazine ceased publication in 1929. The name was revived when a separate publication called The
New Edinburgh Review was started in
1969 and published under that name until
1984. At issue number 67/8 it took on the
Edinburgh Review name, with the motto
To gather all the rays of culture into one and is still published. It is sometimes assumed that the present publication is a continuation of its namesake, a misconception which isn't altogether discouraged by its publisher.
