"Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, Volume 59, No. 368, June 1846" by Various is a historical magazine issue written in the mid-19th century. This volume includes a collection of essays and articles reflecting on literature, notable figures, and societal critiques of the time, touching on topics such as the roles of statesmen, the encouragement of the arts, and a historical focus on significant writers and philosophers. The opening of this magazine discusses the nature of English public life compared to that of continental Europe, particularly emphasizing the continuing public presence and intellectual contributions of statesmen after their exit from official power. It highlights the importance of literature and encourages a reevaluation of governmental and societal support for the arts, pointing out historical figures like Lord Brougham’s nurturing influence on writers and scientists. The narrative transitions into biographies of prominent figures in literature and science, such as Sir Joseph Banks, Adam Smith, and Lavoisier, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of their contributions and the challenges they faced within their respective fields.
