On Certain Calumnies and Misrepresentations in the Edinburgh Review: The Conduct of Certain Individuals, on the Night of Mr. Thelwall's Probationary Lecture, at Bernard's Rooms, Edinburgh; And the Ignorance of the New Critical Junto of the Simplest Elements of English Composition and English Grammar, With and Appendix, Con Literary Journals have not always been very candid, or very impartial, - for they are the productions of Men, who have their prejudices; and of Proprietors, who have their interests; yet they have, hitherto, been conducted with some regard to decency and decorum. They have been conducted, also, with a degree of secrecy - which, though it shelters the uncandid from responsibility, is infinitely preferable to the ostentatious profligacy that flames forth in the Edinburgh Review. In this new undertaking, all former precedent has been magnanimously despised. It is certainly an experiment as daring, and an innovation as intemperate as ever disturbed the republic of Letters.
