POEMS, ESSAYS, AND OPINIONS.
BY A LFRED B. RICHARDS. 1
'• For originality of thought, terseness of expression, and keen
satire,
these Essays may be classed with any similar productions
of modern times. Mr. Richards cones before the public with a
literary reputation achieve I , as a poet of no ordinary ability, as a
dramatist whose works have received high encomiums from the
greatest of living critics, and as a political writer whose views
—however little we can subscribe to them—have been conscienti-
ously formed upon mature reflection, and after long investigation.
He belongs to thatlimited but important body' Orig nal Thinkers.'"
—New Quarterly Review.
~ That he (Mr. Richards) plies a forcible and vigorous pen, pos-
sesses a copious stock of ideas and imagery, is rich in illustration, and
•amiliar with bygone authorsh p. will be admitted by all who have
leisure to peruse these volumes. * * * The variety of topics
touched on proves the v rsatility of his mind and the fertility of his
fai,e ; and, however ovcasionally he may be mistaken in his views
and clearly wrong in his appreciation, he is seidum ungenerous in
his sympathies."—Globe.
