MR. CHARLES KENT'S NEW POEMS.
Just published,

DREAM T. AN D. With other Poems.
By W. CHARLES KENT, Barrister-at-Law.

Fcap. Bvo., price Ss.

"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. Fructidor' shows what
Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when
he tries. Ills 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. lint it is by no means his only merit. He is a mas-
ter of versification. The flow o' 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. lhe 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
agreeab:y and musically known in the metrical literature of
the day. His lAletheia' 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 Critic.
"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
Dance I s.' "—The Press.

1111 E PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" 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. Grosemith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."
