“EDINBURGH REVIEW”
FAMOUS QUARTERLY CEASES PUBLICATION BYRON’S SATIRE RECALLED Australian and N.Z. Press Association (United Service) LONDON, Wednesday. The “Edinburgh Review,” which was first published in 1562, announces its last issue. The “Edinburgh Review,” was the first of the great critical quarterlies, but the second of the same name. Its predecessor was brought out in 1755, under Adam Smith, Alexander Wedderburn, and others, and ran to only two numbers. The famous blue-and-buff Whig organ was projected by Sydney Smith, who edited the initial number published at Edinburgh in October, 1902. Francis Jeffrey was editor from 1803-29; Macvey Napier, 1829-47; William Empson 1547-52; Sir George Cornewail Lewis, 1852-55; Henry Reeve, 1855-95; Arthur Elliot, 18951912; Harold Cox, 1912 until the end. Francis Jeffrey’s literary criticisms provoked Lord Byron to write his stinging satire,' “English Bards and Scotch Reviewers.” Lord Macaulay’s essays first appeared in the “Edinburgh Review.” Other contributors were Lord Brougham, Lord Houghton, Lord John Russell, Robert Lowe, and John Stuart Mill.
