EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate 25 of the Modern Athenians series, published in 1847 by Edinburgh-based firm, Robert and Andrew Foulis, captures a significant moment in Scottish intellectual history. The image depicts two esteemed Scottish judges and literary figures, The Hon. Francis Jeffrey (1773-1850) and Sir John Archibald, Lord Murray (1779-1859), engaged in a conversation on the Royal Exchange in Edinburgh. Francis Jeffrey, a renowned Scottish judge and literary critic, is best known for his influential role in shaping Scottish literary culture through his position as the first editor of the Edinburgh Review. His incisive reviews, which often focused on contemporary literature and current social issues, significantly influenced literary discourse in Scotland and beyond. Lord Murray, a Scottish judge and politician, was a close friend and contemporary of Jeffrey. He served as Lord Advocate of Scotland from 1834 to 1841 and later became Lord President of the Court of Session in 1846. The two men's shared backgrounds in law and literature made for a fascinating intersection of their respective spheres of influence. This photograph, taken in the mid-19th century, offers a glimpse into the intellectual and social fabric of Edinburgh during a time of great cultural and intellectual development. The image serves as a reminder of the important role that Scotland played in shaping the literary and intellectual landscape of Europe, and the enduring impact of figures like Jeffrey and Murray on Scottish history.
