Francis Jeffrey Francis, the subject of our memoir, was the eldest son of a family of five children; and it will be seen, from the foregoing particulars, that the success of his future career, be it what it might, could derive little aid from paternal wealth or interest. Jeffrey was reading in his study, when tidings were brought to him that the whole body had departed as one man—that four hundred and fifty ministers had fearlessly redeemed their pledge to sacrifice their earthly interests at the command of duty, and had left the Assembly to constitute another elsewhere! In his capacity of judge, Lord Jeffrey was connected with those decisions of the Court of Session that preceded the disruption of the Church of Scotland; and his award was in favour of that party by whom the Free Church was afterwards constituted. www.electricscotland.com /history/other/jeffrey_francis.htm   (6310 words)

Interview With Francis Jeffrey FRANCIS: I think that's closer to the ancient spiritual traditions, rather than this weird amalgam of scientific reductionism and materialism that leads to "strong" AI doctrine, which says that consciousness is an emergent phenomenon once you get a certain level of complexity, a brain of a certain size or a computer of a certain speed. Francis: Remember the isolation tank is a method of de-emphasizing your physical existence and your physical position in the universe, as well as communication and all sorts of sensory inputs and outputs. Francis: Well, obviously you focus on the things that are of the most interest to you, unless you've slumped into this kind of somnambulistic trance of addict television watchers, where everything goes in, probably. www.levity.com /mavericks/jeffrey.htm   (10320 words)

Guardian Unlimited Books Review Review revolution Francis Jeffrey, editor of the Edinburgh Review from its launch in October 1802 until 1829, believed it was the reviewer's duty to subject authors to the "wholesome discipline of derision". Jeffrey lived in an era when the term "north Britain" was current, and dear to Edinburgh literati, in whose eyes Scotland, since the union with England of 1707, had made a "great leap forward". Jeffrey was a complex figure, caught, like many Scots before and since, between national pride and national shame. books.guardian.co.uk /review/story/0,12084,818717,00.html   (980 words)

Francis, 67, first met Archer in the late 1960s when both were making tentative starts to their careers. www.guardian.co.uk /archer/article/0,2763,524617,00.html   (794 words)

Enquiry by Dick Francis Jeffrey Howard Francis is particularly good in this book with the minor characters - such as the aristocratic Bobbie, who clearly is very fond of Roberta but can't help hinting that Hughes is a better match for her, or Derek the diffident mechanic who kept most of his brains in his fingertips. While not all the Francis stories were written quite as well as this story, I listen to this one several times a year. I strongly recommend this book/audio to all fans of Dick Francis and the hourse racing business. www.internetcross.com /item/0786109599/Enquiry   (590 words)

BBC NEWS UK The Archer tapes Mr Francis told the court that he had provided a false alibi for Lord Archer because he was requested to do so to cover-up an extra-marital indiscretion. The phonecalls were an attempt by Mr Francis and the newspaper to make Lord Archer incriminate himself and admit to setting up a false alibi for 9 September 1986. He said it was only after the 1987 libel trial had taken place that he realised he had provided a cover story for possible use during the libel trial. news.bbc.co.uk /1/low/uk/1436200.stm   (806 words)

Francis Jeffrey-Commentary for the times Francis Jeffrey’s commentary on Felicia Hemans as a poet in “A Review of Felicia Heman’s Poetry” was particularly interesting. However, it was 1802 and women were women, distinctly separate from “their brethren of the stronger sex.” Although, Jeffrey does accredit women with certain “superior” characteristics, the whole of his dissertations on sex revolve around the accepted “truth” that women are inferior. The established social criteria for assessing women is very apparent in Jeffrey’s honest review, and reading it really put a fresher perspective on what challenges women were facing during these times and how many obstacles they’ve had to tackle to earn respect. www.clas.ufl.edu /boards/fall2003/f03-1829/messages/42.html   (311 words)

Neil Berry, Articles of Faith This Scottish intellectual impresario is seen here as the heir of Jeffrey and the Edinburgh reviewers of the early nineteenth century, a resolute upholder of old-style British high-mindedness in increasingly unpropitious circumstances.

Beginning with Frances Jeffrey's editorship of the Edinburgh Review, a quarterly, from 1802 to 1829, Berry details how British journals of opinion exercised worldwide influence on political and literary journalism. www.waywiser-press.com /berry.html   (712 words)
