JSth April, 1819. 16 From BfacktroofT* Edinburgh Magazine* Remarks on ihc Periodical Crili- rism of Knu':»ittl—C"»v7m«W. I find that I have already faid a great deal concerning the QjiarUrly Kcview and it" editor, and yet I urn very fenfibic that I ought to have directed y«iur attention in the firftt inftance to their elder and Kill more important adverfaries, the Edinburgh, Review and Mr. jeiTray. The journal, conducted by this gentleman in a provin¬ cial town of Britain, has, notwithstanding it is oppofed by the whole weight of min- iHerial influence, a circulation far beyond any periodical work in Englaud,* and fuch ai, even among the more numerous readers of Germany, is altogether unrival¬ led. It is faid, that upwards of fifteen thoufaud copies are fold of every number which is pubiifhed, fo that it forwt. in fact, an excellent estate for thaw who conduft it. When it began to be pubiifh¬ ed about twenty years ago, the periodical criticisms of England had fallen into great, disrepute, and the new work being 'tip- ported by feveral young men of great ta¬ lents who had adopted a mode of writing quite novel in England, although suffi¬ ciently hackneyed elsewhere- loon attract¬ ed a great fharc of admiration 'torn all the politicians and literati of the ifiSud Du¬ ring the first fplendour of its fuecef*. it came to pofsefs ail the authority of an ora¬ cle, and although a considerable number of its first worshippers have withdrawn to a different fhrinc, its influence is still held in no fmall reverence by thofe who have ad¬ hered to it. At first its reputation waa raifed by the united zeal or four or five writers, but, as in the fubfequent period, its character has been fustained and modified chiefly by one ingenious individual, it it impoffiblc to consider the <vork except in the mot intimate connexion with him, and all the peculiarities of his habits, prejudi¬ ces, and genius, Mr. Jcifray is an advocate before the parliament of Edinbu-gh,f and i* supoo- fed to be furpalTrd by few of his brethren, cither in tbe dexterity or eloqt ence of hii judicial pleading*. I lament extremely that I my«clf have never heard him speak, but I fuppofe tftebamitcr tery nearly .•«*- •crnblcs the reviewer; and if thii be fo, I have nod'Hiht that the client, wh^f"* inte- re«t it is that the minds of his judge- mould be perplexed by the intricacies of lubtte argument, or dazzled by the fplendour of fophistical declamation, cannot place hit fee in better hands than thofe of Mr Jef¬ frey. His writings manifest, indeed, the most complete poffeffion of all thofe fac¬ ulties which form the armour of a pKader. We can open hit* cafe in fuch a way as to make you think favourably of the black¬ est, or iuapiciously of the fairest caufe. He can throw a radiance of magnanimity over the character of a murderer, i»r plant, if it fo pleafeB him- the fou'e-t weeds ut d'euust and envy round the resting p!a^e'-fa faint. He can examine h«- witncflVs with fo much dexterity as to make them rev a1 every tiling be wifhes t know, and pr ferve in¬ violable silence refpeding whatever it is his interest to have concealed. The ques¬ tion with him i*. never, which side is the right, but which side he has undertaken t-> defend. He never (hews any keen feeling in his cafe, till he has become, as it were, a party in it. by having conducted it long, and engaged his lelf love in iuiflue Light, carelefs, and perfectly felf-poflefled, he runs from one bar to another, and pleads, in the fame day, twenty different caufes, all agreeably, many ingeniously, a few powerfully ; but none with that plain straight forward earnestnefs which marks the manner of a man (peaking in his ow« just caufe. A lawyer is always a man of doubts ; and the intellectual timidity of JerTray's profeflinn has clung to him in all his purfuits, and prevented him from co¬ ming manfully and decidedly to any firra opinion respecting matters of fuch moment, that it ii abfoluir'y icc>c\fllhlr is be2g:z3Z critic while the mind remains unsettled in regard t.i them. The mercenary transi¬ tions of a barrister are but a bad prepara¬ tion for the gravity of a judge ; and I fu3- pi-ct that no metamorphosis can be more hopelefsthan that of an accomplifhed ad¬ vocate into a calm aad trust-worthy Re¬ viewer. He that is obliged to plead cau- fes every day, loon begins to find that it is a wearifome thing to tell a plain, simple, true story, and refuses to route his vigour for the debate, unlefs he is confeious that it will require all his ingenuity to give the side he has undertaken to defend even the semblance of justice. The man who is ac¬ customed to exert all his power of fpcak- ing. in order to defend crimes and fraud, and darken the light of justice, cannot but look upon it as a small matter to write in fupport of paradoxes, and decision of intel¬ lectual greatnefs. 1 look upon it as a very great misfortune both for England and for Jcifray himfelf, that he ihould have devoted his talents to administer food to the diteafed and novelty- hunting appctitesof fuperficial readers He (hews an acutencf* of difcernment, a pow¬ er of arranging argument*, an irresistible tact in deducing inferences, r.ud at timcj, too, a manly dignity of fentiinent and feel¬ ing, which prove abundantly, that had he educated his mind in more profound hae- * \vv ,tiiiu'Ci thai »nr nuthni-'* irfuncMiuii It imi correct with regard u pant «i' -tier; ckcub- lionet* ' Ihc CWtl «f $t;:n»n :se!<.'""
