TEE Rivals OF ESTE, and other PoEMs.-By James IT,
Brooks, and Mary E. Brooks. New York: 1922.
We continue, according 10 promise, our re-
marks upon this volume. Mr.. BRooKs' poems
win be the subjec, Of our observations.
Mr.. Brook. has obtained considerable repu.
,a,ion, as a writer Of verse, under the signature
Of FLpRlo We are unwilling to de,ract from
it; but il, in the course of our notice, any OBJ.
serva,ions occur uafavorable to him as poet,
they must be considered the result of an unb-
ased perusal Of his works, and the offspring
Of an UMPIRE JUDGED judgment. To define the
class Of writers Of which Mr.. Brooks is mem.
Der, is matter Of some difficulty. His style
is, in some places, energetic and powerful his
imagination partskes Of the gloomy cast of BY
ron's; and there is strain Of melancholy
throughout, like that which characterizes the
writings Of Kirk White.-Ih fact, to come to
the point al once, he has too much Of the ina
gerry Of the tomb; and, with the exception of
one or two, there is not piece in the collection
death or its concomitants.
This is going 100 far. 1t is we'll enough, oc-
casionlly, to read US lesson on the uncertainty
Of our earthly condition, and remind US of the
great object of our formation; but when this is
carried to extremities, II becomes tedious and
disgusting, and mars the accomplishment Of
the object wbich it was intended to effect. Poe
try is the lausu g. Of passion and feeling, and
mas and precepts of morality. We have ano-
Their charge 10 bring against Mr.. Brooks, which
we think ourself warranted in making. Itis
the office Of the theoiIgan and the schoolmau
TO stack aud defend the different systems of
religion; proving, by reason and investigation,
