George Ticknor, Life, letters and journals of George Ticknor (ed. George Hillard), Chapter 8: (search)
eal about the late atrocious duel of Cilley at Washington; about his recollections of the United States, apropos of which he gave a very humorous account of his own wedding, and of a dinner at President Madison's; about the elder days of the Edinburgh Review; and about the present state of society at Edinburgh, which he represents as much less brilliant than it was when I was there formerly. After the ladies were gone we talked about what is now a much-vexed question, in relation to Scotland,ome respects, the conversation was one of the most remarkable I have ever heard; and, as a testimony against aristocracy, on the point where aristocracy might be expected to work the most favorably, surprised me very much. Speaking of the Edinburgh Review, Mr. Smith said that it was begun by Jeffrey, Horner, and himself; that he was the first editor of it, and that they were originally unwilling to give Brougham any direct influence over it, because he was so violent and unmanageable.

arrived at Edinburgh about noon . . . . I was desirous to see Napier, the editor of the Edinburgh Review, in order to do what I could to have Ferdinand and Isabella noticed in that journal, and tham told, what between his Law Professorship in the University, and the labor of editing the Edinburgh Review and the Encyclopaedia Britannica, he is kept feeble and ill nearly the whole time. He rece; and, before I had been with him half an hour, it was fully agreed that there should be an Edinburgh Review of Ferdinand and Isabella; that Allen should write it, if Napier can persuade him to do so,ds less favor. Brougham was much discussed; and it was plain he has great authority in the Edinburgh Review because he writes so much and so well for it, and not because they have a great respect for out this morning to see my old friend Mrs. Fletcher, around whom, in the early days of the Edinburgh Review, Brougham, Jeffrey, and all that clique were gathered, and whose talents still command thei

ped me already somewhat, and has volunteered to procure the copies; but he lives in London, and is going with his nice, pretty English wife to Tunis as Spanish Consul, moved to it by his vast Arabic learning, which he hopes there to increase. He is an excellent, and, besides, an agreeable person, who was much liked at Holland House, and is well known and in good request in much of the best literary society of London; the author of the article on Prescott's Ferdinand and Isabella in the Edinburgh Review, etc., etc. Now, I wish your permission to have him come and see you in London, which I will desire him to do, and let him give you a written memorandum of what he has ordered for me in Madrid, the person of whom he has ordered it, and the best mode of accomplishing there all I desire, which is really not much. . . . . Pray do not think me unreasonable, and pray refuse me plainly if you foresee more trouble in it than I do. I am very sorry you are not coming to Boston to embark. We

pend on what I may hear. I am living with the Twisletons, in a most agreeable manner, petted enough to spoil me outright. They live almost next door to Sir George Lewis and Lord Morley,—not forgetting Lady Theresa,— close by Reeve of the Edinburgh Review, and within easy distance of Senior, Macaulay, Lord Holland. . . . . But their social position is better than all their surroundings on Hyde Park. . . . . It almost amuses me sometimes to hear such people as old Lord Glenelg, old Lord Montea certainly he did it well. He was more positively amusing than I have ever heard him, more nearly droll. . . . . By the time I reached home—four miles, I think—. . . . it was two o'clock, and very hot and close. Reeve, the editor of the Edinburgh Review, came in soon afterwards, and I talked with him for nearly an hour. We all dined together, with Mrs. Stanley, a very agreeable, sensible old lady, mother of the Stanley who wrote Arnold's Life . . . . We had Mad. Mohl, Senior, and Grote, t
