reap. Svo., price 59.

" The author of 'Dreamlan I' and 'Aletheie has risen to a
height so very close to the summit of genius, that he may be
commiserate' for his inability to grapple with the last peaks
of its elevation. There is abundance of talent, a delicate
taste, an endless richness and diversity of image, topic, and
illusion : the landscape is most luxurious ; and the Mits: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 individualist. 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. 'Fructidor' shows what
Dutch fidelity of word painting* the author can master when
he tries. His fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if
Lance had painted it. "--Atheneum.
"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. The flow of his verse is smooth and me-
lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary.
Shelley at Marlow 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. he 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 affections."—The London Review.
"Mr. Rent's noems come befcr. +ha wnrl,l with 4he.
tag e, not only bl same, but of a name aireaciy
agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of
the day. His 'Aletheia' was very favourably received by the
public, and has no doubt been the companion of many
thoughtful 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 and harmonious,
and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with
elegant tastes."—Daily News.
"Poems of very considerable excellence. Fructidor '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
"The pictures Mr. 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
Dancers.' "—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 devoting 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 the 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."—
