GRAFENSTEIN: A POEM.
" Nemo 'liquid recognoscat : nos mcntimur omnia."
PLAUTUS.

" To a considerable command of versifintion and a vivid power
of desiption, the author unites a talent for pointed remark, forci-
ble observation, and playful ■nd piquant irony, which we think
might have warranted a flight less obviously in the track of Byron.
happily, however, although In the structure of the primary adven-
ture, and in the conduct and character of the hero, the resemblance
is obvious, in all other respects the poet evidently draws from copi-
ous sources of his own. We will not be so bold as to assert that
the present poem must necessarily attract great attention, but we
will .venture to say, as Pope said on a perusal of Thomson's
' Winter,' that Its author will be sooner or later deterre."—Exa-
miner.

" Of this book it is a sufficient description to observe, that it is
in the style and manner of Don Juan, and a sufficient encomium to
say, that in many respects it is not inferior to that celebrated poem.
It, as the preface stares. it is the first attempt of a young author, it
is most creditable to his talents, and prophetic of future distinc-
tion ; but we can hardly believe that it is not from the pen of a
practised writer. The tale is slight ; but, after the manner of his
Immortal prototype, the author indulges In frequent digres,ione,
which evince great poetical powers, an extensive knowledge of hu.
man nature, a copious and fluent eloquence, with considerable wit,
scholarship, and liberality of sentiment."—Kent herald.
