"Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—Warm and high-toned
feeling, a pleasant combination of ;race and hummir, 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. `Pructidor' shows what
Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when
he tries. His fruit is as vivia and well characterised as if
Lance had painted it."—athenaeum.
"The charm of M-e. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi-
tion of success tc.', all poets is that he is in sympathy with his
subject and not-only with himself ; that he is truly poet and
not ep*Ctist. Bnt it is by no means his only merit. lie is a mas-
ter of versification. The flow or his verse is smooth and me-
lodious, and enriched with a copiotis and ornate vocabulary.
' Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The
vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost
perfect. IDREMLANn is a work conceivednoble
spirit, and exezAuted 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. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan-
tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already
agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of
the day. His 'Alethela' was very favourably received by the
public, and has no doubt been the companion of many
rhonghttio.oatforS Who wnl gfaaly 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 volumeis healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct
in composition, and contains many happy touches of true
fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The Critic.
