The North British Review was a Scottish periodical. It was founded in 1844 to act as the organ of the new Free Church of Scotland, the first editor being David Welsh. It was published until 1871; in the last few years of its existence it had a liberal Catholic editorial policy. Under Lord Acton's influence the Review took on a different character, with and writing on European affairs. Its editorial line rose above nationalistic politics, and was strongly opposed to Otto von Bismarck.
