though the corruptions of which the establishment in question
is composed, and exposed in the utmost detail from
authentic sources and by uncontrovertible proofs. This same
Quaterly Review, as you probably know, is a Tory periodical
set up in opposition to the advocate of Whiggism
the Edinburgh Review, and by its superiority in some respects
has been thought to have nearly equalled it in extent
of circulation, if not surpassed it. Abuse in every
shape has been a strenous supporter of reform, in every
shape of course a proporrtionably vehement enemy
to. Now observe what has just now taken place. i have
a friend and a disciple at the Bar, who goes at lengths
wish me in favour of the cause of the people, and who
has a friend at the Bar in whose mind ambition,
aided by strong talents is operating with uncommon
force he sets out with the resolution to make the most
of his talents by obsequiousness to the ruling powers,
but at the same time, is by no means insensible
to the abuse of the law, though looking upon the habit
of negating the matter in its true point of view as tending
to the prejudice of his ambitious projects he has
accordingly been in the habit of keeping his eyes shut
as close as possible against every such unpleasant spectable.
This man has just now been engaged by the Quarterly Review to make, in every number of it a regular
attack upon some portion or other of the legal system;
and, for this text book, he has taken by work on the
Judicial Establishment, and proposes to go through with
it: and the work not being on sale, and byt very few
copies left, my friend from me on Sunday
las a copy for his friend to keep and employ for
that purpose. As to my work, I not merely consented
to it:by any such reference a multitude of readers
would have been scared, and whatever dood might
otherwise be done among those who are at present
anti-liberalists, lessened.
