Overview

Excerpt from The Law Magazine, or Quarterly Review of Jurisprudence, 1854, Vol. 21 The? Sentences and refined taste of Mr. Jeffrey admiran qualified him for that branch of the editorial art which consists in what he called vamping and patching, that is, the adaptation, through sagacious retrenchment or slight additions, of articles to the taste of the public, and the preservation of the sentiments of articular writers in unison with the eneral principles advocated in the view. Though he dearly loved a jo e, not a particle of malice tainted his nature. Even his severest eriti ues originated far more'in an active mind enjoyin the effects of its Pae -ish mischief than in any settled malignity. 0 can forget the kindliness of his nature, the fascinations of his society, that sprightliness of high intellect and warm heart which never dropped into vulgarity or even idle frivolity?
