Abstract

The article discusses the Scottish critical magazine "The Edinburgh Review," which began publication in 1802. It examines the role of the magazine's originator, Sydney Smith, and comments on editor Francis Jeffrey. The author addresses the periodical's reviews of books and comments on the Scottish city Edinburgh as a place of culture and learning. He also considers the periodical's relations to Romanticism and Romantic poets and considers its role as an outlet for Scottish Whiggism. The contributions of British statesman Henry Brougham to the journal are also considered.
