Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 3 A great deal that should naturally come under this title has been unavoidably given already, under that of History; and more, I fear, may be detected under still less appropriate denominations. If any unwary readers have been thus unwittingly decoyed into Politics, while intent on more innocent studies, I can only hope that they will now take comfort, from finding how little of this obnoxious commodity has been left to appear in its proper colours; and also from seeing, from the decorous title now assumed, that all intention of engaging them in Party discussions is disclaimed. I do not think that I was ever a violent or (consciously) uncandid partisan; and at all events, ten years of honest abstinence and entire segregation from party contentions (to say nothing of the sobering effects of threescore antecedent years!), should have pretty much effaced the vestiges of such predilections, and awakened the least considerate to a sense of the exaggerations, and occasional unfairness, which such influences must almost unavoidably impart to political disquisitions. In what I now reprint I have naturally been anxious to select what seemed least liable to this objection: and though I cannot flatter myself that a tone of absolute, Judicial impartiality is maintained in all these early productions, I trust that nothing will be found in them that can suggest the idea either of personal animosity, or of an ungenerous feeling towards a public opponent. To the two first, and most considerable, of the following papers, indeed, I should wish particularly to refer, as fair exponents both of the principles I think I have always maintained, and of the temper in which I was generally disposed to maintain them. In some of the others a more vehement and contentious tone may no doubt be detected. But as they touch upon matters of permanent interest and importance, and advocate opinions which I still think substantially right, I have felt that it would be pusillanimous now to suppress them, from a poor fear of censure, which, if just, I cannot but know that I deserve - or a still poorer distrust of those allowances which I have no reason to think will be withheld from me by the better part of my readers.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions Review Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 3 This work, Mr. Wheatley informs us, was undertaken to elucidate the principles of national wealth; which, notwithstanding the Inquiry of Dr. Smith, are still, it seems, very imperfectly understood. We may add, that it appears to have originated in none of those party motives, or other temporary views, which give rise to the greater number of pamphlets published upon topics connected with national policy. The conduct of the work, as well as its subject, is purely speculative; and it is delivered to the public, we are told, rather as the prospectus of a larger book, than as a separate treatise. Such being the design of this tract, and so high its pretensions, notwithstanding that diffidence which has dictated the hint about a future work, our attention is naturally directed to examine whether anything is performed by Mr. Wheatley to justify his hopes of effecting those reforms in political economy which the celebrated writings of Smith, Hume, and the French Economists, have failed to accomplish. We will venture to predict, that after our readers shall have considered the abstract which we purpose to submit, they will participate in our disappointment, and agree with us in awarding to Mr. Wheatley's errors and inaccuracies alone the praise of originality. The general character of the work, indeed, is easily given. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays, Contributed to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 5 We return our hearty thanks to Mr. Montagu for this truly valuable work. From the opinions which he expresses as a biographer we often dissent. But about his merit as a collector of the materials out of which opinions are formed, there can be no dispute; and we readily acknowledge that we are in a great measure indebted to his minute and accurate researches for the means of refuting what we cannot but consider as his errors. The labour which has been bestowed on this volume has been a labour of love. The writer is evidently enamoured of the subject. It fills his heart. It constantly overflows from his lips and his pen. Those who are acquainted with the Courts in which Mr. Montagu practises with so much ability and success well know how often he enlivens the discussion of a point of law by citing some weighty aphorism, or some brilliant illustration, from the De Augmentis or the Novum Organum.

I have not however held myself equally pre cluded from making occasional retrenchments from the papers as they first appeared; though these are mostly confined to the citations that had been given from the books reviewed at least in the first two of these volumes: but notice, I believe, is given of all the considerable omissions (with some intimation of the rea sons) - in the places where they occur.

This book was released on 2017-10-23 with total page 524 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Critical and Historical Essays, Contributed to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 3 of 3 William was an infant when the civil war broke out; and, while he was still in his rudiments, a Presbyterian hierarchy and a republican government were established on the ruins of the ancient church and throne.01d Mr. Wycherley was attached to the royal cause, and was not disposed to intrust the education of his heir to the solemn Puritans who now ruled the universities and public schools. Accordine the young gentleman was sent at dilceu to France. He resided some time in the neighbourhood of the Duke of Montausier, l chief of one of the noblest families of Touraine. The Duke's wife, a daughter of the house of Rambouillet, was a finished specimen of those talents and ac complishments for which her race was celebrated. The young foreigner was introduced to the splendid circle which surrounded the duchess, and there he appears to have learned some good and some evil. In a few years he returned to his country a fine gentleman and a Papist. His conversion, it may safely be afirmed, was the effect not of any strong impression on his understanding, or feelings, but partly of intercourse with agreeable society in which the Church of Rome was the fashion, and partly of that aversion to Calvinistic austerities which was then almost universal among young Englishmen of parts spirit, and which, at one time, seemed likely to make one half of them Catholics, and the other half Atheists.

It must he confessed that these are comprehensive principles of persecution, but we do not like them the worse for that: they are at all events consistent, however indescribably absurd. The accident of previous possession determines, it seems, the right to suppress, and whether it be truth or error, it is all the same: only, as truth is one, while error is multiform, error will have the advantage of this ruthless consistency in a hundred cases to one.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, or Critical Journal, Vol. 195: For January, 1902;;; April, 1902; To Be Continued Quarterly Finance must almost necessarily occupy a prominent position in the Parliamentary debates of the immediate future. The enormous addition which has been made to the ordinary expenditure of the country in recent years, the huge cost of the war in South Africa, and the consequent growth of taxation, must direct the attention of men of all parties to the requirements of the great spending departments and the inequalities or inadequacy of our financial system. But Imperial finance has during the last dozen j-ears been so closely bound up with local taxation that the Legislature, in addressing itself to one subject, will find itself compelled to deal with the other. If there were no complaints of injustice from the ratepayers of the country, the necessity of revising our system of Imperial taxation would force every financial authority to consider the concurrent difficulties of local finance. But there is a still better reason for thinking that local taxation must fill a large place in the political programme of the immediate future. Its rapid growth, the manner in which it is levied, the crushing severity with which it falls in many places on the real property on which it is a charge, combine to draw attention to the burden which it imposes. The taxpayer is hardly conscious of many of the imposts which he bears. Few men associate the cost of the cup, which they love, or of the weed, which they love more, with the requirements of internal administration or external politics.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Edinburgh Review, or Critical Journal, Vol. 52: For October, 1830 January, 1831 French king's councils, the disposition to favour the Jesuits, to undo the effects of the Revolution, and to counteract the current of liberal opinions, long enough apparent in the conduct of Charles X. And his bigoted daughter-in-law, broke forth with out any restraint, and kept no terms with any antagonist. Riihe Dauphin, if indeed he really differed from his family in pomt of sense, and thus perceived the precipice towards which they were hurrying, was silenced, and borne along by the imperi ous passions of his fanatical consort. Among the old nobility who surrounded the throne, none had the wisdom to discern or the virtue to point out the perils which beset it. The priests ruled supreme over the monarch, or divided their dominion with the Dauphiness. Nor had they the sense to see, in their thirst for revenge, that the impetuosity of the pursuit might frustrate the attainment of their object. One or two military men, of Na poleon's school, were in some credit with the court; but their habitual disregard of the people, and confidence in the steadiness of the army, made them the worst of all advisers, while they gave encouragement to those who looked for their services, as tools at once unprincipled and submissive.

This book was released on 2018-01-22 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Contributions to the Edinburgh Review, Vol. 2 of 4 The only other part of Lord Holland's statement, to which we think it necessary to call the attention of the reader, is that in which he thinks it necessary to explain the peculiar notions which Mr. Fox entertained on the subject of historical composition, and the very rigid laws to which he had subjected himself in the execution of his important task. It is therefore necessary to Observe, that he had formed his plan SO exclusively on the model of ancient writers, that he not only felt some repugnance to the modern practice of notes, but he thought that all which an historian wished to say, should be introduced as part of a continued narration, and never assume the appearance of a digression, much less of a dissertation annexed to it. From the period, therefore, that he closed his Introductory Chapter, he defined his duty as an author, to consist in recounting the facts as they arose; or in his simple and forcible language, in telling the story of those times. A con versation which passed on the subject of the literature of the age of James the Second, proves his rigid adherence to these ideas; and per haps the substance of it may serve to illustrate and explain them. In Speaking Of the writers of that period, he lamented that he had not devised a method of interweaving any account of them or their works, much less any criticism on their style, into his history. On my sug geeting the example of Hume and Voltaire, who had discussed such topics at some length, either at the end of each reign, or in a separate chapter, he Observed, with much commendation of their execution of it, that such a contrivance might be a good mode of writing critical essays, but that it was, in his Opinion, incompatible with the nature of his undertaking, which, if it ceased to be a narrative, ceased to be a history. - p.
