This article appears in Volume V23, Page 224 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: RAY-RHU
REVIEW (Fr. revue, from revoir, to see again, Lat. re and videre) , an inspection or
critical
  examination; it is chiefly used as a military or naval
term
  for an inspection on a large or formal scale of a
fleet
  or
body
  of troops by the sovereign or other person holding a high official position, or for a
critical
  account of a recently published literary
work
  in a magazine or periodical. The earliest use of the word for the title of such a periodical was in the
paper
  begun by Defoe in 1704, the full title of which was A
Review
  of the Affairs of France and of all Europe, as influenced by that Nation (see
PERIODICALS
  and
NEWSPAPERS
 ). In France there is a particular application of the
term
  revue or, more fully, revue de fin d'annee to a form of dramatic performance, acted or sung, in which the
chief
  events of the past year, and the personages who have been prominently before the public, are satirically and critically passed under
review
 . Attempts have been made to trace such performances to an early origin. In their modern form, however, they date from the reign of Louis Philippe. L'An 184z et ran 1941, by the brothers Cogniard, was one of the earliest.
