Mit. CHARLES KENT'S NEW POEMS.
Just published,
DR EA M LAN D. With other Poems.
By W. CHARLES KENT, Barrister-at-Law.

Fcap. Svo., price ss.
" The author of Dreamlan 1' and `Aletheti' has risen to a
height so very close to the summit of geniis, that he may be
commiserate,' for h's inability to grapple with the last peaks
of its elevation. There is abtlndance of talent, a delicate
taste, au endless richness and diversity of image, topic, and
illusion ; the landscape is most luxurious ; and the mns!c of
verse excellent,"—Literary Budget.
"Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned
feeling, a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no
small power to individualise. Pope at Twickenham is a
cabinet picture. ' Marianne' will commend itself to all
mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint-
ance with baby wiles and mysteries. `Fructidoe shows What
Dutch fidelity of word Fainting the author can master when
he tries. If is. fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if
Lance had painted it."—Athenaeum.

" The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi-
tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his
subject and not only with himself ; that he is truly poet and
not egotist, Bnt it is by no means his only merit. He is a mas-
ter of versification. '1 he flow ou his verse is smooth and me-
lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary.
`Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The
vision of Shelley with -which Mr. Kent presents us is almost
perfect. 'DREAMLAND is a work Conceived in a noble
spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with
flashes of true poetic inspiration. the Dying Bridegroom'
is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be-
lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story
of the affectior.."—The London Review.

"Mr. Kent's poems come before the World with the advan-
, lage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already
P.Lzreeab!y and musically known in the metrical literature of
the day. His ‘Aletheile was very favourably received by the
public, and has 110 doubt been the companion of many
thoughtfhl readers who will gladly welcome another volume
from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic
sympathy and veneration, The best of all, we think, is that
of Scott. There is something in the lines that will remind
the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull.

" Verses, many of them extremely tender ancL4rMonioua,
and all indicating a mind carefully ctkltured ancliAftea with
elegant tastes."--Dally News.
" Poems of very considerable excellence. Pructidor 'is a
very close and vigorous word-painting of an orchard. Mr.
Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct
in composition, and contains many happy touches of true
fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The Critic.
"The pictures hie Kent makes are carefully drawn and
effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste.
It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of
intelligibility, and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art-
World.

"We like some of Mr. Kent's minor poems even better than
'Dreamland.' He is a real poet, unquestionably, and often
versifies with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the
Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof : while
his capacity to make word-music is shown in ' The Morris
Dance! s.' "—The Press.
"It was a conception worthy of a true poet to show the
depth of his sympathy for the Great Masters of English
Song, by devotin;r, the outpourings of his Muse to their
special illustration. There is not one of the many pictures
here collected which is not perfect in all its parts -whether
we consider he sentiment by which it is inspired, the truth
of the local colour, or the beauty of the setting. With a
thorough appreciation of character, Mr. Kent combines an
admirable descriptive power and a masterly command of
most mellifluous verse, so that, while the mind is fully
gratified, the senses—so to speak—are equally charmed."—

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITWS

" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex-
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in busi-
ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive.
Intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin•
ciples."

JOZEAU'S COPAHINE MEGE.—Copaiba and
Cubebs are doubtless the best remedies, but are ofd re-
pulsive taste and odour, and occasion collicky pains, nausea,
and gastric disturbance. M. Jozeau ha succeeded in render-
ing them perfectly innocuous by increasing all their curative
properties. It has been adopted by the Paris Academy of
Medicine after more than a thousand trials in Paris and the
different London hospitals, viz., St. Thomas's, Guy's. and
St Bartholomew's, under the care of Messrs. Lloyd, Poland,
and Legros Clark.—(Lancet, Nov. 0, 1857). The Copahine,
which is in form of a pretty pink sugar plum, effects a cure in
about six days. 100 Capsules, 4s. 6d.; post free, ss. 2d.— At
