The Critic (magazine)

The Critic was a magazine founded in London by John Crockford and Edward William Cox.[1] Its full title was The Critic of Literature, Science, and the Drama, and from 1843 to 1863 it was edited by James Lowe.[2]

It reviewed the world of journals, and operated from the offices of the Law Times, its origins lying in a column written in the latter. In turn it gave rise to The Clerical Journal, in 1853. In 1851/2 it featured a substantial series of articles by Francis Espinasse, as "Herodotus Smith, on the quarterly journals.[3][4]
