'They hand in hand, with wandering steps and slow, Through Eden took their solitary way.' 'Such is the termination of this 'example of heroic poem,' which is completely destitute of human interest from the nature of the subject, and derives none from the comparisons and illustration which are so profusely introduced. Classical names and fables are strewn about with prodigality; but they are always produced not to show how like, but how _unlike_ they are to the personages and actions described in the poem.'... 'In order to make out his 'apt number and fit quantity of syllables,' Mr. M. frequently employs the Procrustean method of lengthening the short and shortening the long. _Hermit_ is _eremite_, _mortal_ is _unimmortal_, _survive_ is _over-live_, _marsh_ is _marish_, etc. In like manner, _malignant_, _ungrateful_, _magnificent_, _interrupted_, are docked into _malign_, _ingrate_, _magnific_, _interrupt_; and we have '_dark_ with excessive _bright_' for _brightness_. Yet, in spite of the ample use of this liberty, the verse often halts for want of feet.' A capital specimen of verbal criticism, involving comments upon the 'jingling-sounds,' and 'perpetual bulls' of the author, closes the critique and the article. Although these _pseudo_ reviews are intended merely to form a light, amusing paper, they have yet to our conception a deeper meaning; and as valuable lessons in literature, are well worthy of perusal and preservation.
