ABSTRACT

The Annual Review (among whose contributors were Southey and possibly Coleridge-see The Letters of Charles and Mary Lamb, ed. Edwin Marrs Jr, 3 vols, Ithaca, NY, 1975-8, vol. 3, p. 12) was generally more liberal in its politics and more catholic in its tastes than Thomas Zouch (No. 84). The unnamed reviewer counters Zouch’s protest at the 3rd Earl of Leicester’s support for regicides: the Sidneys acted ‘as Sir Philip would himself have done’ (p. 233; compare Lamb’s sentiments, No. 90).
