[539] A review of Reed’s 1837 edition of “Wordsworth’s Poetical Works.” Professor Henry Reed’s son--Judge Henry Reed of Philadelphia--informs me that it was written by his father. C. M. ST. JOHN. [540] This article is entitled “Modern English Poetry--Byron, Shelley, and Wordsworth.” C. M. ST. JOHN. [541] By an unknown author. C. M. ST. JOHN. V CRITICISMS AND REVIEWS IN PERIODICALS FROM 1840 TO 1870 Arranged as far as possible according to merit. It is difficult to distinguish between the first twelve or fifteen. After them I have placed the articles in the _Literary World_. Most of them have not been noted in other lists, and are especially interesting, as being additional tributes of Wordsworth’s intimate friend, Henry Reed. I am indebted to Judge Henry Reed of Philadelphia, for more carefully examining his father’s papers, and to the _Literary World_ for ascertaining, as far as possible, all that his father wrote on Wordsworth. The criticisms that immediately follow are not without interest. The last half dozen are given, for the most part, because they appear in _Poole’s Index_, or in other lists. I have omitted two or three which are of no value whatever. C. M. ST. JOHN. 1 1844. WHIPPLE, E. P. _North American Review._[542] Vol. lix. pp. 352-384. 2 1857.
