JIL the occasion. Dedicated to Her Most Gracious Majesty
Queen Victoria. To which is annexed, a POEM ON
SUNDAY SCHOOLS.

By ROBERT ROSE, a West Indian of Colour.
FOURTH EDITION,
With Opinions on the Press.
Mr. R. Rose, the well-known "poet of colour," has written
some pleasing lines on the all-engrossing theme, the corona-
tion of our beautiful Queen. As a loyal subject, and an ar-
dent admirer, his strain is at once addressed for her happi-
ness as a woman and a Queen; nor does his muse forget that
much of that happiness 'will depend upon her efforts to pro-
mote the well-being, comfort, and prosperity of her subjects.
—Manchester and Salford Advertiser.
This is a poem by Mr. Robert Rose, a West Indian,
several of whose productions formerly appeared in our co-
lumns. Notwithstanding the hasty, manner in which it is
written, our readers will find in it much to commend, &c.—
Liverpool Albion July 9:/i, 1838.
We noticed this little poem in the coronation week—whilst
yet in manuscript. It is now published, and will well reward
a careful perusal. The subject is one of universal interest—
the coronation of our youthful and beloved Queen. Mr.
ROSC, although a West Indian, is an Englishman in senti-
ment and loyal devotion, and evidently overflowing with the
most chivalrous respect to the women.—Manchester and Sal-
ford Advertiser, July 14, 1838.
Mr. Rose, the author of this poem, is well known in Liver-
pool as the writer of several other productions, which are
highly creditable to his feelings and his attainments. The
versification in this poem is smooth and correct: the
language and imagery are chaste and beautiful. We need
scarcely add that the sentiments breathed throughout are de-
votedly loyal.— Live; pool Standard, July 17, 1838.
As Mr. 'Rose is very well known in Liverpool, we copy the
subjoined notice of one of his most recent productions from
a contemporary :—" It is seldom that we can spare much
room to dwell on poetry, but when we observe a poem by an
old correspondent, loyally dedicated to her most gracious
majesty, which production evinces talent of no common
order, we are tempted to recommend it to the notice of our
enlightened readers. Mr. Rose, as they are well aware, is a
West Indian, and is remarkable for blending philosophic
truth with the blandishments of poetry. He is happy in his
choice of words and melodious in his versification. We
look upon the earnest manner in which he writes as a good
presage of future success."—Liverpool Mercury, July 20,
1838.

"The Coronation." A clever little poem, bearing this title,
has just been forwarded to us. The author is dr. Robert
Rose, a West Indian of colour, well known as the author of
several beautiful pieces of poetry, some of which we have
had the pleasure to copy into this paper. The present pro-
duction is highly creditable to the author, and contains some
very sweet poetry, and not less captivating sentiment. We
are glad to learn that the poetic efforts of this interesting
(interesting on many accounts) writer have met with a gra-
tifying share of public appreciation.—Preston Chronicle, July
21,)838.

We have given above, in this column, an extract from the
poem which Mr. Rose has recently published on that previ-
ously thread•hare subject—the coronation of Queen 'Victoria.
The productio❑ of Mr. Rose displays no inconsiderable share
of Poetic beauty, and will, we trust, have an extensive set.
The author is already favourably known in Liverpool by is
contributions to the press of the town.—Liverpool Chronicle,
July 21, 1838.

A poem under this title, by Robert Rose, a West Indian
of colour, has been submitted to Ha. it evinces a degree of
talent highly creditable to the author, and is accompanied by
a poem on Sunday Schools not leas worthy of favourable
nottce.—Bell's Life, July 29,1838.
These are endurable hues, B:c.—Sunday Times, July 29,
1838.

In submiitiug the remarks of the press to the reader ac-
cording to their dates, the Author is happy to state that not
one unfavourable critique of the foregoing Poems has ap-
peared. This he is the more proud of, as it is somewhat rare
for any one, in these days of smart competition, to meet with
the approval of the (generally speaking) contlicting opinions
of the press. He would gladly have waited for other impor-
tant notices, but can delay uo longer in bringing out this
edition.
