[144] _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.

[146] 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 a 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 Homer's _Memoirs_ (1853), i. 464.
[147] April 1805; reprinted in _Essays_, ii. 38, etc., to show, as he says, how early he had taken up his view of the French revolution.
[148] Sydney Smith complains in his correspondence of this article as exaggerating the power of the aristocracy.

[150] I need not speak of Brougham, then the most conspicuous advocate of Whiggism. He published in 1843 a _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 enc.u.mbered by a 'Dictionary of Universal Biography.' But the book was bad enough to kill, if a collection of outworn plat.i.tudes can produce that effect.
