Synopsis
The Monthly Reviewpresents the September 1808 issue (Volume LVI), a multi-genre survey of recent British publications in biography, history, natural philosophy, and heraldry, with attention to sources, methods, and the imperial and political implications of scholarship. The principal biographical notices treat Macdiarmid’s Lives of British Statesmen as a source-driven effort to illuminate both private and public lives of eminent ministers, notably Wentworth, within the long arc of English constitutional development. The notices also discuss Cayley’s Memoirs of Sir Thomas More, Corry on the Windward Coast of Africa, the Transactions of the Linnean Society, Noble’s History of the College of Arms, Barrow’s Account of the Public Life of the Earl of Macartney, and Fox’s History of the Reign of James II, while defending the authorial project against common misreadings and noting occasional flaws. The Local Summaries broaden the frame to evangelical controversy, republican virtue, travel writing on Valencia and Madrid, and a spectrum of science, medicine, law, education, and drama criticism, all treated with a scholarly mood that prizes primary sources and cautions against biased or hurried judgments in an age of empire.
