picturesqueness, imagination, and even music, may be found in his principal poems."-Ath., No. 2332.

but most human."-Sat. Rev., xxxiv. 541.

10. Alexander the Great: a Dramatic Poem, Lon.,

1874, 12mo.

"It will compare with Sir Henry Taylor's fine drama of 'Philip van Arteveldt,' as well in general power as in the delicacy of the minuter elements of its workmanship."Spectator, xlvii. 787.

11. St. Thomas of Canterbury: a Dramatic Poem, Lon., 1876, 12mo. 12. Antar and Zara, an Eastern Romance; Inisfail; and other Poems, Lon., 1877, 12mo. 13. Legends of the Saxon Saints, Lon., 1879, 12mo. "The blank verse which rehearses these exploits is frevigorous, at times picturesque, some of the small quematic touches being admirable; but when an occasion offers which demands fervour and brilliancy of imagination, Mr. De Vere too often loses its poetry and limits himself to little more than dry chronicle."-Ath., No. 2701. "A book of much reflective beauty, in which we find, if not precisely a picture of the age to which it relates, at least a picture of the type of mind which diffused the finest spiritual leaven of that age."-Spectator, lii. 1103. 14. The Foray of Queen Meave, and other Legends of Ireland's Heroic Age, Lon., 1882, 12mo. "In this volume Mr. De Vere attempts to do for the heroic lore of the Celt what Mr. William Morris has successfully accomplished for that of the Teuton."-Ath., No. 2869.

Ireland's Church Question : Five Essays, Lon., 1868, 8vo. 7. (Ed.) Proteus and Amadeus: a Correspondence, Lon., 1878, 8vo.

"This is one of the most fascinating little books on natural theology which has [sic] been published for many years back. The title is perhaps a little too scholastic; but the preface tells us that the correspondence is a genuine one."-Spectator, li. 797.

8. Constitutional and Unconstitutional Political Action, Lon., 1881. 9. Ireland and Proportional Representation, Dublin, 1885. 10. Essays: chiefly on Poetry, Lon., 1887, 2 vols. p. 8vo. (Contains essays on Wordsworth, Landor, Shelley, Keats, Spenser, on "Subjective Difficulties in Religion," &c.)

"If his writing is not marked by that unity of purpose, by that desire of the critic to keep his eye always on the object, and to concentrate his analysis, which is to be found in the school of literary criticism which looks to France for its methods, but prefers to lead the reader by more labyrinthine paths to the full appreciation of some poet's beauties, it is none the less pleasant and delightful.

By far the most important of the literary studies are those that treat of Wordsworth and his poetry."-Spectator,

"Though holding but a subordinate rank, Devereux was as qualified as any official of higher authority could be to note and record the facts which meet the eye, and to afford us the means of forming at least an approximate judgment upon them. . . . Our author's trip in company with Dr. Livingstone seems to have impressed him with the idea that the great traveller is one of the most changeable and easily led of mortals."-Sat. Rev., xxviii. 296.

"If one tithe of the statements contained in this volume are true, Lady Lytton was for years the victim of cruel and persistent persecution. Many of the details must be regarded as proved beyond dispute. As a wife she was deeply wronged; but even the bitterest provocation will not suffice to excuse the course of conduct which she pursued. . . . In her vindication of her heroine Miss Devey has overshot the mark. She relies implicitly on Lady Lytton's own evidence, as given in her diaries, letters, or an autobiographica and unpublished MS. called 'Nemesis.' No impartial person can fail to see that much of this evidence is extremely high-coloured."-Ath, No. 3108. "Judiciously written, and of sustained interest."-Acad., xxxi. 354.

"We are disposed to think that even those who disagree with the conclusions of this book will concur in conceding its extraordinary lucidity, force, and dispassionate ness. . . . Mr. Dicey presents both the arguments of his opponents and his own arguments without a trace of polit

ical passion. There is not a word in the book which the | strongest Home-ruler could regard as unfair, or contemptuous, or perverse. Often the Home-rulers' view is expounded with a force far greater than that with which their own organs have presented it, though Professor Dicey weighs argument against argument and finds an immense balance of weight in the opposite scale.. The great strength of his book consists in its analysis and discussion of the various forms of Home-rule."-Spectator, lix. 1557. He speaks as a strong advocate who feels he has a strong case. And within certain limits it is a strong case, having nearly every quality except that of being convincing."-Acad., xxxi. 2.

Dickens, Charles, [ante, vol. i, add.,] 1812-1870, ("entered in the baptismal register of Portsea as Charles John Huffham, though on the very rare occasions when he subscribed that name he wrote Huffam.") In the year 1858, to which the latest entries in vol. i. belong, Dickens began the course of public readings from his works, which was continued at intervals, during the twelve remaining years of his life, in London and the provinces, and in 1867-68 in many of the principal towns of the United States. In the same year he separated from his wife, and took steps for severing his connection with Household Words, which in the following year was discontinued, and followed by the establishment of All the Year Round. In 1860 he sold his residence in London, "Tavistock House," and established his permanent residence at Gadshill. His incessant labors and multifarious activity are supposed to have hastened his death, which occurred very suddenly, though not without premonitory symptoms throughout all his late years. His popularity as a writer seems to have suffered no diminution, at least in the twelve years succeeding his death, during which period the sale of his works in England amounted to 4,239,000 volumes. The following list includes the books mentioned ante, vol. i., where very few dates are appended.

"It would, of course, be against all experience to suppose that to future generations Dickens, as a writer, will be all that he was to his own. Much that constitutes the subject, or at least furnishes the background, of his pictures of English life,. . . has vanished, or is being improved off the face of the land. The form, again, of Dickens's principal works may become obsolete, as it was in a sense accidental He was the most popular novelist of his day; but should prose fiction, or even the full and florid species of it which has enjoyed so long-lived a favour, ever be out of season, the popularity of Dickens's books must experience an inevitable diminution.... Nature, when she gifted Dickens with sensibility, observation, and imagination, had bestowed upon him yet another boon in the quality which seems more prominent than any other in his whole being. The vigour of Dickens-a mental and moral vigour supported by a splendid physical organism-was the parent of some of his foibles; amongst the rest, of his tendency to exaggeration. But without this vigour he could not have been creative as he was; and in him there were accordingly united with rare completeness a swift responsiveness to the impulses of humour and pathos, an inexhaustible fertility in discovering and inventing materials for their exercise, and the constant creative desire to give to these newly-created materials a vivid plastic form."-A.

"All that is strange, diversified, alluring, and uncomfortable in the life of an actor is illustrated' in the career Mr. Dickens has discharged competently and gracefully his task of editor.

The papers with which he deals had been arranged by Mathews himself."-Ath., No. 2697.
