and scholarly, the influence exercised over him by a succession of male
favourites, and his deep belief in the ‘Divine Right of

the difficult political legacy he left his son, Charles I. A copy after

Phelps 1866 Francis Jeffrey, Lord Jeffrey (1773-1850), Scottish
judge and critic; editor of the 'Edinburgh Review' The Scottish judge
Francis Jeffrey founded the Whig periodical the Edinburgh Review in
1802. As its editor and leading contributor between 1803 and 1829,
Jeffrey was one of the most influential commentators on matters of art,
politics and science. Known as a ruthless critic, he was hostile to
Wordsworth and his circle whom he named, sarcastically, the 'Lake
School'. He was slow to appreciate the work of Scott, Keats and Byron
and one of his early attacks provoked Byron's satiric poem English
Bards and Scotch Reviewers(1809). £55 scarce sent cleaned
