As you are about taking or retaking a house, I think it
right to inform you now that the editor’s dividend on the Quarterly
Review will be in future £325 on the publication of each
number; and I think it very hard if you do not get £200 or £300 more
for your own contributions.
John Murray II (1778-1843)
The second John Murray began the
Quarterly Review in 1809 and
published works by Scott, Byron, Austen, Crabbe, and other literary notables.
The Quarterly Review. (1809-1967). Published by John Murray, the
Quarterly was instigated by Walter
Scott as a Tory rival to the
Edinburgh Review. It was edited by
William Gifford to 1824, and by John Gibson Lockhart from 1826 to 1853.
