"The Edinburgh Review":

"The Edinburgh Review" was one of the most influential British literary and political magazines of its time. It was founded in 1802, and ceased publication in 1929.

The magazine was founded by Francis Jeffrey, Sydney Smith and Henry Brougham.  It was published by Archibald Constable in quarterly issues until 1929. Its first editor, Francis Jeffrey, was a strong supporter of the Whig party and laissez-faire politics, and regularly called for political reform. Its main rival was the "Quarterly Review" which supported the Tories.

Elroy McKendree Avery, Ph. D., LL. D. (born 1844 - died 1935) was an American politician, author, and historian. Avery was an Ohio State Senator in the 1890s before moving to west Pasco County, Florida.  He was the first mayor of New Port Richey, Florida.

Elroy Avery wrote school textbooks about physics and chemistry as well as books about the history of Cleveland and New Port Richey.

Avery was born in Erie, Michigan.  His parents were Caspar Hugh and Dorothy (Putnam) Avery. He fought in the American Civil War. He was Sergeant-Major with the 11th Michigan Cavalry.

Also in the 1860s, he worked as a writer for the Detroit "Tribune" newspaper. In Battle Creek, Michigan, he was a high school principal in 1869 and married Catherine Hitchcock Tilden.

Avery graduated from the University of Michigan and relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, where he continued as a school principal. Avery was on the Cleveland City Council before being elected to the Ohio state senate.

He was also the chairman and director of the First State Bank of New Port Richey. In 1924 New Port Richey was incorporated and Avery was named its first mayor at age 80, serving until 1925.
