Excerpt from The Literary Panorama, and National Register, Vol. 9: A Review of Books, a Register of Events, a Magazine of Varieties; Compromising Interesting Intelligence From the Various Districts of the United Kingdom When the literary PA norama was instituted, the condition of Britain was that of extreme pressure from external violence from a foe at once malignant beyond common malice, and tyran nical beyond common oppression: we have seen that foe sub dued; and we have had the honour to foretell the progress of his downfal, almost step by step, and month by month; we have seen his ruin ensured by his excess, and his friends - friends atleast to his fortune, repulsed from his side by his own haughti ness, till his star set in blood. We have seen the ferocious become a Degreessupplicant and a prisoner, although his inveterate decrees were among the first public events, which it was our duty to record. We found our Country involved in war wifi infinite satisfaction we leave it in peace. We then did our duty, by supporting with our humble powers the means of national proteo rtion; and we have subsequently discharged the same duty by giving a faithful and 'free opinion on. The conduct incumbent on sour coantrymen, in order to secure the most valuable advantages dfi'ered them' by the present tranquillity.
