30 REV 
—Inspection of soldiers assembled for examination as to their 
appearance and skill. 
REVIEW, in Chancery. A bill of review is where the 
cause has been heard, and a decree therein signed and en¬ 
rolled ; but some error in law appears in the body of the 
decree, or some new matter is discovered in time, after the 
decree made. A bill of review is n.ot exhibited but by leave 
of the court. 
A commission of review, is a commission sometimes 
granted, in extraordinary cases, to revise the sentence of the 
court of delegates; when it is apprehended they have been 
led into a material error. This commission the king may 
grant, although the statutes 24 & 25 Hen. VIII. declare the 
sentence of the delegates definitive; because the pope, as 
supreme head by the canon lav/, used to grant such com¬ 
missions of review; and such authority, as the pope here¬ 
tofore exerted, is now annexed to the crown by the stats. 
26 Hen. VIII. cap. 1. and 1 Eliz. cap. 1. But this is not 
matter of right, which the subject may demand, but merely 
a matter of favour, and which is often denied. 
Review, in Military Language, is the appearance of an 
army, or part of any army, arranged in form of battle, 
and exercised, in presence of the king or of a general. The 
firings in reviews are generally thirty-six rounds, viz. by 
companies; by grand divisions; by sub-divisions; obliquely, 
advancing, retreating; by files; in the square; street-firings, 
advancing and retreating; and, lastly, a volley. 
REVIE'WER, s. One who re-examines This rubrick, 
being the same that we have in king Edward’s second Common 
Prayer Book, may peril aps have slipt into the present Book 
through the inadvertency of the reviewers, who might not 
probably just then consider, that custom had shifted the 
place for the performance of the daily service into another part 
of the church. Wheatly. —One who writes in a periodical 
publication called a review.—The Critical reviewers, I be¬ 
lieve, often review without reading the books through; but 
lay hold of a topick, and write chiefly from their own minds. 
The Monthly reviewers are duller men, and are glad to read 
the books through. Johnson.
