THE

MODERN ATHENIANS

THE EDINBURGH REVIEW

IN THE JEFFREY YEARS, 1802-1829

To Archibald Constable [?September 1802]

I shall send you more M.SS. on Monday certainly and sooner, if I can persuade myself to alter our arrangement – the printing is very correct on the whole – but could yu not afford us a little blacker ink? We begin to think that there is no need for a Prospectus – We can advertise and the Monthly Magazine will announce us – a short advertisement prefixed to the first number will explain our plan of reviewing and will be safer than making promises that may not be fulfilled —

F.J—

Take care that Mouniers name be right spelled – a blunder of that sort in the first article will make a bad impression
