Summary "The British Quarterly Review, American Edition, Vol. LIII" by Various is a periodical collection of articles and essays written in the early 19th century. It covers various topics, reflecting the intellectual discussions and societal issues of its time, and features contributions from a range of authors, indicating a broad scope of perspectives. The volume appears to emphasize the development of journalism and its impact on American society, particularly examining the rise of influential newspapers and the role of prominent figures in shaping media. The opening portion of the volume introduces the article "Henry J. Raymond and the New York Press, for Thirty Years" by Augustus Maverick, which discusses the evolution of journalism in America from 1840 to 1870. It highlights the significance of the press in promoting political liberty and social progress while critiquing its sensationalism and personal attacks on public figures. The author argues that while American journalism has undergone considerable growth, it still wrestles with issues of quality, morality, and the need for positive influences to guide public opinion. Additionally, the text touches on the impact of recent historical events, such as the Franco-Prussian War, on journalistic practices and the challenges posed by sensationalism in media representation.
