This is the first time these essays have been collected and
identified as De Quincey's. Each essay or article is reprinted with
full annotation and the author's reasons for attributing it to De
Quincey. The essays vary in length and in subject matter: some are
addressed to "The Editor"; some are critical reviews of
contemporary magazines; some are week-to-week political
commentaries on issues facing the second Tory party. Together they
show De Quincey, the journalist, working on a variety of subjects
that occur in his writing before and after this time, from the
financing of empires to an attack on Macaulay or an analysis of
Burke's mind and style. Originally published in 1966. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
