This book explores the sources of modern British liberalism through a study of the Edinburgh Review, the most influential and controversial early-nineteenth-century British periodical. The Review served as a principal channel through which the ideas of the Scottish Enlightenment gained wider currency, and did much to popularize the doctrines of economic and political reform.
