EPUB

in circulation, as from the number of choice pieces which it contains, we are certain that it is not inferior to any other in poetical excellence. There is interspersed through the volume a very considerable number of small poems, the productions of our best and most recent authors. It will be found likewise to contain as great a variety of subjects and measures, as it is possible, perhaps, for any collection to have. And, in concluding, we judge it not improper to state what we think must be considered as no small recommendation of the work, that by far the greater proportion of the volume consists of entire poems, and several of these are now printed for the first time.

Greenock. 1828.

Comfort in affliction,

Oh! had I wings like yonder bird,

Destruction of the Assyrians,

Jerus'lem! Jerus'lem, the spoiler has trod,

The power of God,

A summer evening,

Of man's mortality,

A Hymn to Contentment,

[blocks in formation]
