ROBERT BROWNING.

The death of Robert Browning leaves
but one surviving English poet who
was at all comparable with himself il
the point of reputation. His most
ianatical admirers have raised him TO a
poetic eminence that is not very far be-
low the plane upon which Shakespeare
stands in lonely grandeur; but the geo
eral opinion, which is much nearer tho
truth than that special opinion to which
we have referred, places him upon q
very much humber level
Tennyson, his famous rival, who still
lives at an advanced age, with powers
comparatively undimmed, is. IN our
judgment, the greater poet of the two
being as remarkable for clearness Of die.
tion as Browning is for obscurity. The
latter has Away appealed to a special
class Of readers, a portion Of whom
have been sincere in their enthusiasm
over his works; the rest have probably
affected feeling which they really did
not entertain.
The establishment OF numerous
Browning clubs in this country and in
England, with a view to dcvotiug care.

'oet, was not 30 much tribute to his
