o. TIE BALLADS AND Poems or VIII
LIAM PEMBROKE MULcAINOCK," have just been
issued in a neat l2mo of 264 pages by I. w.
Strong. % Nassau.st The author is s young
Irishman who came to our country some eighteen
months ago, and has aimee lsboriously and anxious
" ,trven for livelihood in that most precarious
Of all vacations, Authorship. Knowing well that
be has had TO struggle against the formidable i'm
pediments which an unknown, untrumpeted for
eiener having family to maintain must ever en-
counter in great and crowded city like ours, we
are rather surprised at the general merit of the
Poems here presented. Ii is hard to write wOr-
thily for lasting fame when we must write so as
at all events to win present bread But in the
Poems here presented we observe no one unds-
serving pace-no one Of which the writer
should be ashamed The sentiments are Just and
manly; the diction flowing and musical the spirit
healthy and inspiring. We can only fad room
for brief extract from the Chants for ToilerE
