Question

A magazine based in this city published a series of 71 fictional dialogues set in a tavern, which features characters like the Ettrick Shepherd and is called Noctes Ambrosianae (10[1])(“NOCK-tays am-broh-zee-AH-nay”). A picture of the historian George Buchanan appeared on the title page of that magazine from this city, which derided Leigh Hunt as a member of the “Cockney School.” Members of this city’s “Speculative Society,” including Francis Jeffrey, founded a magazine whose blue and buff cover hinted at its political leanings. Blackwood’s Magazine was based in this city, as was a Whig-supporting magazine that frequently attacked the Lake Poets and that was a rival of the Tory-supporting Quarterly Review. For 10 points, one of the preeminent early 19th-century outlets for political and literary (-5[1])criticism in Britain (-5[1])was what city’s namesake “review”? (10[1])■END■ (10[2]0[17])
