Thl ) w ^ STVlTlsrssTFR . ttFVTEW which has maintained a lii ^ h reputation for more than twenty years , as the independent ni-Pinnf TlaVfrp and influential section ' of the community , and which has numbered among its contributors some of the most SS ° « ished mei ! ot it " u , Sl « l kV . S »» .. has now passed into the hands of a new Proprietor , who has secured the cooperation 9 f th 4 e i ? w ^ as an instrument for the development and guidance of earnest thought on POli Tife f ^ £%°$ I ; i $£% * e ^ KilSe tES 2 SSition of the Law of Progress . Nevertheless in the deliberate advo . w / nf nrWnif phan " s it will not be forgotten that the institutions of man , no less than the products of nature , are strong and Stei nTopoSo ^ a ^ thW ™ the result * of a pradnal development , and that the most ealutary and permanent reforms are those , which , while embodying the wisdom of the time , yet sustain such a relation to the moral and intellectual condition of the people as t 0 ^ fncontradistrrTc ' tion to the practical infidelity and essentially destructive policy which would ignore the existence of wideonrM ( 1 douhts in relation to established creeds and systems , and would stifle all inquiry dangerous to prescriptive claims , the Cv wm exhibit that nntemnorising expression of opinion , and that fearlessness of investigation and criticism , which are the rptnIt- of a consistent faith in the ultimate prevalence of truth . Convinced that the same fundamental truths are apprehended ,.. ., ' a vi ' rietv of forms , and that therefore , opposing systems may in the end prove complements of each other , the Editors will endeavour to institute such a radical and comprehensive treatment of those controverted questions which are practically momentous ' as mav aid in the conciliation of divergent views . In furtherance of this object , they have determined to render available a limited portion of the work , under the head of " Independent Contributions , '—for the reception of articles ably setting forth oninions which though not discrepant with the general spirit of the Review , may be at variance with the particular ideas or mei-ures it will advocate The primary object of this department is to facilitate the expression of opinion by men of high mental power and culture who , while they are ze-. lous friends of freedom and progress , jet differ widely on special points of great practical concern , both from the Editors and from each other . . . , , , , „ ¦ , ™ . -i x . The Review will <* ive especial attention to that wide range of topics which may be included under the term Social Philosophy . It will endeavour to form a dispassionate estimate of the diverse theories on these subjects , to give a definite and intelligible lorm to the chaotic mass of thought now prevalent concerning them , and to ascortain both in what degree the popular efforts after a more perfect social state are countenanced by the teachings of politico-economical science , and how far they may be sustained and promoted by the actual character and culture of the people . In the sphere of Politics careful consideration will be » iven to all the most vital questions , without regard to the distinctions of partv ; the only standard of consistency to which the Editors will adhere buing the real , and not the accidental , relations of measures—their bearing not on a Ministry or a class , but on the public good . In the Deoartment of General Literature the criticism will be animated by a desire to elevate the standard of public taste , in relation both to artistic perfection and moral purity ; larger space will be afforded for articles intrinsically valuable by the omission of those minor and miscellaneous notices which are necessarily forestalled by Newspapers and Magazines , and equivalent information will be -iven in A SKR 1 ES OF HISTORICAL AND CRITICAL SKETCHES OF CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE , COMPREHENDING A NOTICE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE BOOKS , BOTH ENGLISH AND FOREIGN , THAIMAY APPEAR DURING EACH SUCCEEDING QUARTER . * v * The REVIEW will in future be published dy JOEIN CHAPMAN , 142 , Sthaxd , to whose c . viie all Communications' for the Editors must be addressed . tiC * = * PERSONS DESIROUS OF HAVING THE WORK FORWARDED TO THEM BY POST ( POSTAGE FREE ) , ARF RFQUESTED TO TRVNSMIT THEIR , NAMES TO THE PUBLISHER , IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY .
