[6] : Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)

review, practice. a second examination of a matter. for example, by the laws 
of pennsylvania, the courts having jurisdiction of the subject may grant an 
order for a view of a proposed road; the viewers make a report, which when 
confirmed by the court would authorize the laying out of the same. after 
this, by statutory provision, the parties may apply for a review, or second 
examination; and the last viewers may make a different report. for the 
practice of reviews in chancery, the reader is referred to bill of review, 
and the cases there cited.

    to set your wisdom holding not a doubt of it,
        although in truth there's neither bone nor skin to it
    at work upon a book, and so read out of it
        the qualities that you have first read into it.
