Book Description
Excerpt from The Quarterly Review, Vol. 46: November 1831, and January 1832 We cannot persuade ourselves to think quite so highly of Mr Boswell as his editor appears to do; but we have already, per haps, su iciently intimated our notions on this head, and shall merely take the liberty to add one or two're ections more that have occurred to us, while re-perusing the most readable of books, in regard to Boswell's peculiar qualifications for his task. We have alluded above to his country as a favourable circumstance; and Mr Croker elegantly and judiciously runs over certain ad vantages derived from the social position of the man, and the easy good-natured assurance of his manners. Perhaps, however, he owed most of all to his comparatively juvenile standing at the time when the acquaintance began to the childlike and altogeth er unrivalled humility, in the midst of a world of froth and petu lance; of his personal veneration for the doctor; and, last not least, to his never being, during the doctor's life, an habitual resi dent in London. The man who, by his own talents, raises him self ih any signal and splendid degree above his original position, must in general, if he is to have intimate friends at all, seek them in his new Sphere. To say nothing of his being, in most cases, removed from his earlier circles by physical obstacles, or at least by many intervening barriers of adopted manners, altered and enlarged views, opinions, tastes, and objects, and almost inextri cable involvement in the thousand perp exities of a different sys tem of social arrangements, he is apt, however strength of under standing, generosity of temper, and the tenderness of old recel lections might lift him above attaching serious importance to any external changes, and dispose him to cling on as many points as possible to the connexions of his undistinguished years how ever safe in the true inborn nobility of his intellect from all risk, either of imbibing an unmanly admiration for mere wordly great ness, or shrinking from the consciousness of having, in former times, contemplated its sphere from a hopeless distance he is apt to find his inclinations on this score thwarted by the workings.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Quarterly Review, Vol. 46: Published in November 1831, and January 1832 I never thought mankind capable of anything very generous; but the stateliness of these patricians, and the servility of my ple beian brethren, (who, perhaps, formerly eyed me askance, ) have nearly put me out of conceit with my species. I have formed many intimacies and friendships, but I am afraid they are all of too tender a construction to bear carriage a hundred and fifty miles.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Quarterly Review, 1832, Vol. 46 It was a strange and fortunate concurrence, that one so prone to talk, and who talked so well, should be brought into such close contact and confidence with one so zealous and so able to record. Dr. John son was a man of extraordinary powers, but Mr. Boswell had qualities, in their own way, almost as rare. He united lively manners with in defatigable diligence, and the volatile curiosity of a man about town with the drudging patience of a chronicler. Ivith a very good opinion of himself, he was quick in discerning, and frank in applauding. The excellence of others. Though proud of his own name and line e, and ambitions of the countenance of the great, he was yet so cor ial an admirer of merit, wherever found, that much public ridicule, and something like contempt, were excited by the modest assurance with which he pressed his acquaintance on all the nolm-ieties of his time, and by the ostentatious (but, in the main, laudable) assiduity with which he attended the exile Paoli and the low-born Johnson! These were amiable, and, for us, fortunate inconsistencies. His contempo raries indeed, not without some colour of reason, occasionally complain of him as vain, inquisitive, troublesome, and giddy; but his vanity was inofl'ensive - his curiosity was commonly directed towards laud able objects - when he meddled, he did ao, generally, from good natured motives - and his giddiness was only an exuberant gaiety, which never failed in the respect and reverence due to literature, morals, and religion: and posterity gratefully acknowledges the taste, temper, and talents with which be selected, enjoyed, and described that polished and intellectual society which still lives in his work, and without his work had perished!

Excerpt from The London Quarterly Review, Vol. 46: October, 1856 A young man who was close to Achmet spoke next, and said, My name is Ivan I have been Emperor of all the Russias; I was dethroned when I was in my cradle; my father and my mother have been incarcerated; I was brought up in prison; I have Sometimes permission to travel attended by my keepers, and I have come to pass the Carnival at Venice.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Church Quarterly Review, Vol. 46 The history of Christian Theology is full of instances of particular aspects of truth being so exclusively insisted upon as to become unbalanced and partly untrue. When this is the case, the danger of reaction is always present. An undue emphasis on one part of the truth provokes a similar treatment of the opposite part. Forgetfulness of one element is avenged by exaggeration of it. When once the harmonious proportion of true Catholicity has been disturbed, it is no easy matter to restore it. The doctrine of the priesthood has suffered greatly from unbalanced emphasis and from reaction. Valuable truths about it have been held and taught in such a way as to obscure essential elements. A strong belief in the reality of the Divine commission and the supernatural powers of the Ministry has sometimes led to a distorted idea of separation between the clergy and Christian laymen. A firm hold on the objectivity of grace has not always been accompanied by an equally clear recollection of the need of personal spiritual life.
