Waterloo and other Poems, by E. L. Surer, Esq. 13,-.-rn.,•Lr
at Law, Bro. pp. ,77, price ss. J. J.SToc:iDALL, Pr.':-31u11.

Having been so much attracted by th merits
of this Poem on its first appearance, as to copy
several extracts from it into THE SUN, there rea
mains little for us to say in our regular Review.
Certain we are that these Extracts must have jus-
tified our very favourable opinion to the publie, and
excited a wish to peruse the pleasing production
from which tbey are taken. We shall not, therefore,
do injustice to a work, whose greatest fault is that of
being too short, by robbing it of too many of its at-
tractions, and converting them into ornaments for
our own columns. Waterloo we commend in its

original and entire form to our Re aiers, and shall
now only present them with the patriotic, loyal,
and poetical introduction which the Author has
prefixed to it.

PROEME.

Cui Pudor, et 3ustitim soror
Incurrupta Fides, nudaque Veritas,
Quando ullum Pareni ?

I may not reach mine hand to yonder shell,
Where its' high harmonies suspended sleep
On it_ lbion's votive shrine ; I may not swell
The glory of its' COIICAVe'6 echoing sweep ;
Till, borne upon her memory dear and deep,
PITT'S honoured name bath waked the expectant string.
It is a game whereon the Virtues Weep,
Which the pro patriot Muse delights to sing;
As mingles with her lay its' lofty triumphing.

Thou wert no longer with us !—But thy Spirit
Breathed in our heart and battled on our arm
And still thy grateful Albion loth inherit
Its' power resistless, and its' mighty charm.
Even in the perilous time, in that alarm,
When foreign envy banded for her doom,
And fear domestic quailed before the storm,
Thy sun-Fright genius burst the gathered gloom;
We heard its' wakening voice, and felt it from the tomb.

Spirit revered and sorrowed !-Thou, whose care
Slept not on Alhio.i's donbtful destiny!
Albion, thy living charge, thy dying prayer,
To her consummate glory asks thine eye.
Bend from thy blessed immortality,
And in their prosperous course her sous assure:—
For they hare watched thy word—low faithfully!—
And alway shall.thy counsels, wise an-1 pure,
Avenge their suffering pest, their future peace secure!

Oh when our wrath o'ertook the recreant Gaul,
An!! dashed iiirn forth to exile and to shame;
When, seated in you guilty Capital,
Fir Ili CAsnxiiliAGll pronounced our victor claim ;
Thought we not then of Pyrr's inspiring name ?
In that proud hour, which Providence (lath given,
To join the Pupil with ►he Master's fame,
Back on its' source see saw the tempest driven,
And his last prayer fulfilled
" On SAVE MY COUNTRY, IIEr'.VEN!"
We ought to notice that the Poem of Waterloo
forms only a small portion of this agreeable vu-
lu►ne. There are several other productions of a
miscellaneous nature, among which i''e hue read,
with peetiliar pleasure, " Three Strings of the
Harp," '' time Age of Chivalry," " Vittoria,"
" The Chaplet," and (with which, as with a
loyal prayer, we shall conclude these brief re-
marks) "God Bless the Old King."

Letters from Calcutta mention, that the season
has hitherto been unusually favourahle to the

posed that the produce this year will exceed the
most prolific year ever known, by at least 30,000
ruaunds.

As the works of most great men are handed
down by some remarkiihle instance, so is that of
GEORGE MORLAND, of facetious memory. In
