Michael Faraday: Third Edition, with Portrait
Gladstone, J. H. (John Hall)
Faraday, Michael, 1791-1867
"_Never, probably, has the legend of the Wandering Jew been
more ably and poetically handled. The author writes as a true
poet, and with the skill of a true artist. The plot of this
remarkable drama is not only well contrived, but worked out with
a degree of simplicity and truthful vigour altogether unusual in
modern poetry. In fact, since the date of Byron's 'Cain,' we can
scarcely recall any verse at once so terse, so powerful, and so
masterly._"--STANDARD.
