" There is a plaintive character, combined with a highly mas• culine and healthy spirit, about the verses, which touches the heart with more power than mere sonnets or pastorals, and amid much that is beautiful, in sweetness of imagery, it purity of diction, and in smoothness of versification, the author has strained into utterance ' thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears,' and would almost appear to be overcome by the tender ness of his own creation. We cannot lie under a sweeter canopy than the ' shadow of the Yew.'"—Court Circular. " Some really good passages we have marked for quotation ; equal to the works of writers who in the present day are puffed and lauded as wonderful poets."— Lit erary "Contains passages of considerable merit. '— Press. " There is much beauty of thought and some power in these poems. The lines are by no means unmusical, but the chief poetry lies in the happy and romantic conceptions to which they give utterance."—Bristol Times and Felix Porky.
