Concluded.
OF the particular manner OF lord Byron
II is difficult, If not hazardous, TO speak
with precision, although perhaps it be
more strongly characterized BY the va
rious attributes Of poetical excellence
than that Of any Of his competitors. To
say that he is peculiarly grand or pecu-
liarly passionate, we're to deal out Is him
a need of appreciation. vulgar and indef-
mite. There is no model with which he
can be compared, nor any test BY which
his nv s,erious merits can be analysed.
AT once the spontaneous master Of all
the english modes Of versihcation, and
familiar with the arcana OF nature and
the more intricate mazes OF the human
heart, he produces at will the most orr
ginsl and powerful combinations. Like
Shakespeare, he delights to trace, in ira
gick dignity, the darker passions OF the
soul and to involve the reader in the aw-
fai interest which their collision eIcites
He disdsins, however, to employ the ex-
pedients Of the dramstist, and never Gre
ateS an artificial interest BY the embar-
rassment Of plots, or the studied contrast
Of characters. Simple in his stories and
unaffected in the narration of his incl
dents, ne preserves all the unities with
critical fidelity.
Unmiodfal Of the difficulty Of engs-
ging the readers sympathy in favour Of a
vicious hero, be has succeeded BY the
