49.Mackintosh thinks it necessary to add that this parallel was suggested to him by William Thompson (1746-1837),a literary gentleman who continued Watson's Philip III,and may,for anything I know,deserve Mackintosh's warm eulogy.

65.Ibid.iii,226.Mackintosh in this article mentions the 'caucus,'and observes that the name implies that combinations have been already formed upon 'which the future government of the confederacy may depend more than on the forms of election,or the letter of the present laws."He inclines to approve the system as essential to party government.

67.The famous 'Cevallos'article of 1808,said to be written by Jeffrey and Brougham (Macvey Napier's Correspondence ,p.308),gave the immediate cause of starting the Quarterly ;and,according to Brougham,first gave distinctly Liberal character to the Edinburgh.For Jeffrey's desire to avoid 'party politics',see Lockhart's Life of Scott ,M.Napier's Correspondence ,p.435,and Horner's Memoirs (1853)i,464.

68.April 1805;reprinted in Essays ,ii,38,etc.to show,as he says,how early he had taken up his views of the French revolution.

71.I need not speak of Brougham,then the most conspicuous advocate of Whiggism.He published in 1843a Political Philosophy,which,according to Lord Campbell,killed the 'Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge.'No such hypothesis is necessary to account for the death of a society encumbered by a 'Dictionary of Universal Biography.'But the book was bad enough to kill,if a collection of outworn platitudes can produce that effect.
