Contemporary Literature of France . u \ vF « 5 T \ fTlVSTT R REVIEW which has maintained a hig h reputation for more than twenty years , as the independent organ of I ^ S « n d influential section of the community , and which has numbered among its contributors some of the most Sguished [ men of Z " united Kingdom , has now passed into the hands of a new Proprietor , who has secured the cooperation ° 'W ^ w ^ instrument for the development and guidance of earnest thought on P U he faSSme ^ Wn ^ Stte w ? A willte ^^ SSition of the Law of Progress . Nevertheless in the deliberate advo-•«^ v nf n ^ nt ? chan « r « It wUl not be forgotten that the institutions of man , no less than the products of nature , are strong and durable fn proportional ' the ? -are the results of a gradual development , and that the most salutary and permanent reforms are those , which , whHe embodying the wisdom of the time , yet sustain such a relation to the moral and intellectual condition of the people as 10 ^ ontradfsuTc ^ on to the practical infidelity and essentially destructive policy which would ignore the existencei of widespread doubtsin relation to established creeds and systems , and would stifle all inquiry dangerous to prescriptive claims , the Reviewwill exhibit that untemoorisin ? expression of opinion , and that fearlessness ot investigation and criticism , winch are the results of a consistent faith in the ultimate prevalence of truth . Convinced that the same fundamental truths are apprehended under a variety 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 niornentou . as may 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 Contnbutions , » _ for the reception of articles ably setting forth oniniona which , thou-h not discrepant with the general spirit of the Review , may be at variance with the particular ideas or rf-Zlj 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 zealous friends of freedom and progress , yet differ widely on special point * of great practical concern both from the Editors and from each other . . . The Review will give especial attention to that wide range of topics which rmy be included under the term Social Philosophy . Tr will endeavour to form a dispassionate estimate of the diverse theories on these subjects , to give a definite and intelligible form to the chaotic ma = s of thought now prevalent concerning them , and to ascertain 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 given to all the most vital questions , without regard to the distinctions of party the only standard of consistency to which the Editors will adhere being 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 Department 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 mlormation wUl be eiven ? n A SKRIES OF HISTORICAL AND CRITICAL SKETCHES OF CONTEMPORARY LITERATURE . rOMPRFHENDING A NOTICE OF THE MOST REMARKABLE BOOKS , BOTH ENGLISH AND FOREIGN . THAT MAY APPEAR DURING EACH SUCCEEDING QUARTER . ? * * The REVIEW will in future be published by JOHN CHAPMAN , 142 , Strand , to whose care all Communications for the Editors must be addressed . fies = PFRSONS DESIROUS OF HAVING THE WORK FORWARDED TO THEM BY POST ( POSTAGE FREE ) . AREKEQUESTED TO TRANSMIT THEIR NAMES TO THE PUBLISHER , IN ORDER THAT THEY MAY RECEIVE THEIR COPlliS ON THE DAY OF PUBLICATION .
