Descrição do livro

The Quarterly Review. This issue presents a rigorous defense of the English law of libel and the modern press, arguing that libel is inherently vague and should be left to twelve jurors rather than precisely enumerated by law. It warns that allowing truth to operate as an absolute defense would undermine the criminal framework and potentially convert libel cases into civil actions, while distinguishing between libels of public figures and private individuals to guide damages and accountability. The piece emphasizes that truth may be used as collateral or contextual evidence but should not be a conclusive defense, and it cautions against unchecked press intrusion into private life or the creation of a “press police.” It situates these legal debates amid historical figures and cases (e.g., Ellenborough, Burdett, Bayley, Russell, Burke, Milton, Erskine) and Peel’s Jury reforms, illustrating a tension between public discussion and private reputation. The issue also includes notes on the Sandwich Islands, life-insurance and actuarial discussions within a Babbage review, Indian governance discourse, Servian ballad translations, and an extended science essay on electro-magnetism, followed by a corn-law/emigration debate and a Finance notice. The overall stance is reformist, acknowledging the press’s indispensable role while defending a robust, jury-guided libel regime that protects both public reason and individual rights.
