The DEFENSE OF GuENEvERE, AND OTHER
POEMS. By William Harris. London: Ellis
& White, 20 New Bond street. New Orleans:
r. G. Eyrich, 100 Canal street.
The poems in the present volume are emf.
nently Iennysonian in character, subjects
and treatments, and will doubtless be more
popular with the general reader than the
more recent severely classic poems of the
same author. They are romances of King
Arthur's Court and stories of the days Of
chivalry. There is weird magic in the
names of Guenevere and Launcelot, Sir
Galahad, the fair Ellayne, a1d Tolande of the
Toners, that will never lose its fascination.
