Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 164: July-December, 1898 The Duke of Wellington failed to form an Administration, and Lord Grey was restored to office, having obtained from the King the power which he desired author ising a creation of peers sufficient to pass the Bill. Thereupon the Duke exerted his in uence and induced some of the Lords to absent themselves, and so withdraw their Opposition, and on June 22 the Reform Bill received the Royal Assent. There my experience of my first three Parliaments ended, for I left Westminster School at Christmas 1832.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 64 In the first place, it is alleged in fa vour of entails that they stimulate exer tion and economy that they hold out to industry and ambition the strongest and safest excitement in the prospect of found ing an imperishable name and a powerful family, and of being remembered and venerated by endless generations as their chief and benefactor. And, in the second place, it is said that entails form the only solid bulwark of a respectable aristo cracy, and prevent generations from being ruined by the folly or misfortunes of an individual. - P. 78.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 122: July December 1877 I humbly desire, dear readers, to please you if I can, and therefore hasten to gratify an aspiration which lurks in all novel-readers' heart - to "get into the think of the business at once." So come with me and be summarily introduced to one or two principal personages of this little drama. Let us take them unawares, let us surprise them while they sit at meat, - eating, drinking, and (some of them, at least) making merry, on the margin of the Lake of Como, in one of the pleasantest hotels in Europe, the "Bellevue," at Cadenabbia. And do thou, old Time, turn back in thy flight a few short years, and suffer us to enter the table-d'hote room of the hotel in question, on the bright evening of an early summer day in 187-. The banquet is spread. The guests are assembles or assembling. They are of many nationalities, of diverse ranks, of most ages; each of the three sexes is represented, for more than one palpable curate bows his meek head over the fleshpot. You find the noise a little trying at first, don't you? The crockery does seem to be possessed with devils, and every glass in the room must have St Vitus's dance. Every one seems to be impatient at first - hungry, angry, vociferous. What tempers these waiters must have! Outside the window a string-band is playing a selection from the 'Barbiere.' Could anything be more appropriate? "Figaro qua, Figaro la!" shrieks the band. "Kellner!" "Garcon!" "Cameriere!" "Waiter!" shout the guest; and through all the crush and the bustle these admirable men glide about - here, there, everywhere, breathless and perspiring, but full of polyglot politeness and attention. The only calm, still, cool-looking object in the room is that tremendous head-waiter in the buff waistcoast, standing near the door, in Jove-like serenity. The guest, as they enter, pause before him to ask where they may place themselves. In that august presence they appear to peak and dwindle.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 35: January-June, 1834 One strong and unfailing test of Jacobinism in all lands, is its vul rity of soul. Nothing, says Bur e, is more certain, than that our man ners, our civilisation, and ail the good things which are connected with manners and with civilisation, have, in this European World of ours, for ages depended upon two princi ples and were, indeed, the result of both combined, the spirit of a eu tleman and the spirit of religion. He nobility and the clergy, the one by patronage, the other by profession, kept learnin in existence, even in the midst 0 arms and confusions, and while Governments were rather in their causes than formed. Learn ing paid back what it received, to nobility and the priesthood; and paid it with usury, by enlarging their 1deas and by furnishing their minds. Happy, if learning, not debauched by ambition, had been satisfied to continue the instructor, and not aspired to be the master! Along with its natural protectors and guar dians, learnin will be cast into the mire, and tro den down under the hoofs of a swinish multitude.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 84: July December, 1858 It was to the other element, shown in idle luxury and the pride of wealth, that Spain, at a time when she seemed striding onward to European dominion, owed her fall. With thankfulness we feel that from neither of these sources of ruin has the faintest cloud yet darkened the lustre of British prosperity. Wherever our sword has been drawn, it has been that of the protector and the liberator, not of the oppressor and enslaver - Pacisque imponere morem, Parcere subjectis et debellaresuperbos. To no chapters in the proud history of our battles can we point with more confidence for the vindication of this truth, than to those two last Indian wars, which, to a heedless observer, judging of them by analogy with the acts of other powers, might be deemed to illustrate the spirit of aggression. What was the chief result of the campaign on the Sutlej, but the salvation of the submissive people of Hindostan from the tyrannous rule of a savage soldiery? Seventy thousand strong, with arms and money, and the powerful discipline which old Runjeet Singh had communicated to them, they thought they might take India and keep it to themselves. The bloody reign of anarchy and extirpation which such an oligarchy would have held had they been successful, can be conceived only from the scenes which then took place at Lahore, and those which befell at Delhi and Cawnpore the other day. But for that protracted list of bloody battles, of which Ferozeshah, Aliwal, Sobraon, and Chillianwallah are still familiar to us, the project would have succeeded. And in the last and most desperate of our trials, who were the enemies? Not the docile people of the land - for they remained true even during the temporary paralysis of the strong protecting hand but a pampered soldiery, trained to mimic our own supreme warlike tactics, and idly dreaming that the Empire which they thought the held for us, they might take an hold for themselves. No: from the we are hereafter to stand or to fall, we must for ever be an example to the world, as the first nation that has wielded its power, not in selfishness or cruelty, but in beneficence. Nor have our late terrible trials passed away without assuring us that we are free from all symptoms of moral decay. When the war with Russia began, it was felt that we were going forth against along-cultivated warlike power - "a man of war from his youth;" and we assured ourselves with justice that the resources accumulated by a long career of peaceful progress would give the material elements of warlike strength to us much more abundantly than the development of purely military power could impart them to our enemy. The wealth accumulated by our agriculture, manufactures, and commerce, would afford inexhaustible pecuniary resources; our shipping would supply a navy or transport our troops; the mechanical skill, cultivated for peaceful purposes, would instantly be turned to the creation of destructive engines.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Vol. 126: July December 1879 On Sunday the 12th January 1879, Colonel Pearson's, or No. 1 Column, commenced to cross the Tugela, and enter Zululand. By the 16th the whole of the troops had crossed and encamped on the other side. I do not intend to dwell here on the passage itself -difficult as it was - suffice it to say, that it was unopposed by the enemy (large numbers of whom could be seen watching us from the distant hills); that the men and the waggons were placed on a pont or raft, which was attached by running gear to a wire hawser stretching from bank to bank, and were then pulled over by oxen on the far side. Efforts to swim the oxen across were not very successful; only those oxen which had before been in Zululand could he induced to enter the water. I noticed two or three fine spans of oxen which had been bought by Government from John Dunn; these took to the water at once, and so readily, that there was some doubt whether they were not going straight home to John Dunn's house in Zululand, and to give themselves up as a peace-offering from that gentleman (who was at this time at Tugela) to King Cetywayo. Those that wouldn't swim (about 2000 head) were taken over on the pont, which, under the excellent management of the Naval Brigade, worked day and night.
