“Do Mr Norton and the Men of Edinburgh say he knew nothing, saw nothing in the female character but childish vanity or infatuate tenderness?”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. VI. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1988.

Inferred Fuller invokes "the Men of Edinburgh" as critics of Byron, and Hudspeth identified these as Francis Jeffrey, Sydney Smith, and Francis Horner, founders of the Edinburgh Review (1802).
