Contrary to the hopes and aspirations of William Chambers, we’ll be delving into the pages of Chambers’ Edinburgh Journal seeking not personal improvement, but rather, frivolous nonsense, politically incorrect opinions of the period, and anything else of a scandalous or shocking nature that will make you smile and wince simultaneously. To this end, we’ve intoduced a special category to celebrate the lighter side of this wonderful publication from the Chambers brothers: Journal-isms.
