Summary

This National, dedicated to Conservatism, scrutinized journalism and journalists at length. Among those in its spotlight were magazine editors and war correspondents.

1. Austin, Alfred. “‘Above All, No Programme.’” 1 (1883): 24–39.

Promised that the National Review would “promote deliberation, not…multiply opportunities for dogmatism” in pages that would be a “glass hive of Conservative thought.” Aside that the Paris Temps was “the most able, the most moderate, and the most independent Liberal journal published on the Continent.”

2. Carnarvon, [H. H. M. Herbert, 4th Earl]. “The First of March, 1711.” 1 (1883): 40–50.

Marked the birth of the Spectator after 271 numbers of the Tatler. The Spectator used “gentle satire” compared to the 1883 leader, which “abounds in research and ability” but was often sarcastic. The Spectator reflected the move from a “rough to a more refined society.” Its daily circulation reached 14,000 in an era when “the Press had become a formidable engine of political warfare.” Joseph Addison was the genius behind its success with his style that was “a model of English writing.”

3. Balfour, Arthur James. “Bishop Berkeley's Life and Letters.” 1 (1883): 85–100, 299–313.

Review of A. C. Fraser's book on George Berkeley mentioned that he penned for the eighteenthcentury Guardian and Examiner and that Daniel Defoe was paid for political writing but Joseph Addison and Richard Steele were not.
