THE MOREA.

Saunders and Otley, London 1840.
The chief poem in this collection is on the fruitful
subject of Greece, on which the author expatiates with
all the ardour of an enthusiast. His stanzas, in general,
are melodious, not wanting in appropriate imagery, and
show much skill in versification. Among the flees we
find some sensible remarks on the encroaching character
of Russian policy, which we would gladly
time and space permit. The author is a gentleTac
named Cochran; who, it seems, has spent some Ow
n Greece. quote child
