_The late Professor Clough is well known as a graceful, tender poet, and
as the scholarly translator of Plutarch. The letters possess high
interest, not biographical only, but literary--discussing, as they do, the
most important questions of the time, always in a genial spirit. The
"Remains" include papers on "Retrenchment at Oxford;" on Professor F.W.
Newmarfs book "The Soul;" on Wordsworth; on the Formation of Classical
English; on some Modern Poems (Matthew Arnold and the late Alexander
Smith), &c. &c._

Doyle's verses run bright and clear, and smack of a classic vintage....
His chief characteristic, as it is his greatest charm, is the simple
manliness which gives force to all he writes. It is a characteristic in
these days rare enough_."--_Examiner_.
