Poems Of Sentiment and Imagination ,rith Drama
tic and Descriptive Pieces. BY FRANCES A. and
EMMA v. Fuller. New York A. s. Barnes s.
Co., publishers. 1851 PIP. 264 l2mo.
This volume is in two parts, the writings of the
two sisters being thus separated. In their joint
preface they say Of their poems that al is easy to
perceive the crudeness which it will require years
OF thought and experience to mould into pure and
devoted style;' but they ask that their work may
be viewed as the first fruit offering of young
hearts"
An introduction SO modest disarms criticism and
bespeaks for the fair young authors our kindly
greetings but at the end of the work the publishers
have placed a number ofextracts from reviews that
seem to challenge our criticism. "Graceful spirit
ed, and brilliant poetesses, "twin gems fit to spar
ke in the most regal tiara that Literature has yet
worn in any part of the American continent"
" unusually gifted" &C., the expressions used
by several able and accomplished editors. We
would that these encomuns had been omitted by
the publishers The authors of them were no doubt
sincere, and may be commended for the motives by
which they were impelled but the attentive reader
cannot respond to them. The volume reflects credit
upon the fair and estimable ladies by whom it has
been produced; and they still bask in the glded
and Joyous season OF early YOUTH we may look for
ward with hopeful pride to the product of their fu
ture labors. But while we here find much to praise
we cannot but recur, with appreciation, to the
words VIC have quoted from the preface, and adopt
the language of that reviewer who says that their
genius Is "worthy of that nurture which should
warm it into the luxuriant beauty that it is capa-
BILE OF attaining To accord the measure of
praise that has been so freely bestowed by others
would be to exhaust our sorehouse of supcrlatives
to do injustice to the many poets of our country,
above whom it is proposed to elevate the writers of
the volume before US, and to inict upon them the
wrong OF sating an ambition that still needs the
stimulus OF hope and of progressive improve
ment

"EIGuT FEET DEEP."-Ths marvellous
stories as to the condition of the Rutlard
Railroad, of which we have before spoken,
have obtained a currency that is scarcely
credible. An instance has recently come TO
our knowledge, which shows the wide and
general credcncc given TO these singular 6c-
tons. a letter was received, a short time
since, by a gentleman in this place, from a
relative now on visit in another of the New
England States and who resides al the South,
expressing a regret that he should be COM
PEELED, by the impdssaJie state Of Tie RdH-

made thcit regular trips, in the usual time,

degrees and beautifully less" until there is
