Title: [1820 Apr 13 Defence ag. Ed. Review]Description: 1820 Apr 13 Defence ag. Ed. Review Madmen Madmen better Voters than Reviewers 1. Reviewers are to be on the bad side 2. Madmen (under secresy) more likely to be under direction of People’s men than non-Peoplesmen Madmen less bad than Criminals. Criminals almost as bad as Reviewers More matter /exercise/ still for his prudential /considerate/ tenderness to exercise itself upon.

Title: [1820 Apr. 19 Defence ag. Ed. Review]Description: 1820 Apr. 19 Defence ag. Ed. Review §. Reviewers Devices 2 2 4. Paradoxes 1. Reading, a mischievous /pernicious/ accomplishment. Mischievousness of any instrument, by which any extension is given to the number of those members of the community who are in possession of the art or faculty of reading 2. Tumult, a good thing. tumultuous proceedings at Elections, a habit favourable to aptitude of choice in the case of Parliamentary Elections To bring paradoxes into action to employ paradox in controversy is to play a deep game, a deep, not to say a desperate one. It stakes reputation upon the task[?] It must be no ordinary reputation that can consistently with ordinary prudence thus oppose itself to reason: any ordinary reputation is liable to be shattered by it to an ordinary reputation it may be ruinous The proposition insinuated /thus advanced/ is one of the number of those which are capable of being maintained by the most irrefutable[?] arguments. But to save time, trusting to the influence of his authority, to the influence which by the already established prepossession in his favour, the understanding of the writer may be assured of exercising on the understandings of his readers, he saves himself and them the trouble of producing the support, he leaves it without support /unsupported/. A company /fraternity/ has on this occasion the advantage of an individual: the authority of the whole body is employed in giving support to the paradox. “We” says the august person Blackstones God upon earth who is not less truly the reservoir of wisdom than the fountain of Justice. “We” say Reviewers in general /in particular/, and those Reviewers so say they, and this, it must be acknowledged, by an unquestionable title.

Title: [1819 May 13 Defence ag st Ed. Review]Description: 1819 May 13 Defence ag st Ed. Review Lett. 5. In[?] defence a […?] Lett. 6. Whigs Arch-Reformists 1 {The state of my eyes will not admitt of my reading any thing that is not matter of inevitable necessity for me to read I have not read or heard read in the Edinburgh Review that article of which my work on Parliamentary Reform is the subject. A question I have put to more friends than one in whose judgment I have confidence whether in this article there was any thing that called for an answer at my hands: their answer was without hesitation in the negative. There is nothing in it said they which possesses in reality the character of a precise and tangible objection} The plain case is that at bottom their /the authors/ opinions are the same as yours: the author as[?] is plainly a man who with grief of heart has been pressed into the service: it is a Counsel forced to argue /arguing/ against his own opinion, and knows not what to /which way to/ say for himself. Of all the propositions /points/ /positions/ you have laid down, he dares not come to close quarters with a single one: only in the way of allusion /insinuation/ does he so much as venture to speak of one, and so feeble is the insinuation it presents its own answer along with it
