It ceased publication in 1967. Initially, the Quarterly was set up primarily to counter the influence on public opinion of the "Edinburgh Review". Early contributors included Secretaries of the Admiralty John Wilson Croker and Sir John Barrow, Poet Laureate Robert Southey, poet-novelist Sir Walter Scott, and others. The periodical published reviews of new works, which were often highly politicized and on occasion dismissive. Half bound tan leather on marbled hardboards. Minor wear to the boards.
