 The poems of Charles Dickens' conaplete eufrfnn nave recently been published in the parchment paper cover form by White, Stokes & Allen, of New York. The only at tempt at poetry by Charles Dickens much known hitherto to the general public is the favorite song, "The Ivy Green, in the "Piek wick Papers," It was chiefly in the earlier part of his career that he tried his hand at verse-writing. There are number of songs, humorous, satirical and sentimental, scatter ed through his earlier dramatic pieces. A class of Dickens poetical works known as his prologues are doubly interesting to us as being allied to his dramatic attempts. Of these, three only are known to us. "A Word in Season" and ''The Wiltshire Laborers" are stirring and manly protests that have found loyal response in thousands of honest hearts, An edition of Dickens complete poems will be welcomed by every one.
