I *%t ' /4 s - i By the same Author, f cap. 8vo., 5*. ))loO IO IN EGYPT AND OTHER POEMS. " NOTICES OF THE PRESS. " Throughout his volume we have ample tokens of a delicate ear and a refined taste. The poems are wonderfully free from the blemishes too often found in the works of modern bards. Either from a natural gift, or by much careful practice, they have about them a finished ease not unlike the shorter pieces of Coleridge. Less condensed than those of Tennyson, they show much of the laureate's subtle fancy and artistic reticence. Their author has the rare merit of knowing when to have done, and what to leave out." Dublin University Magazine. " The author of ' lo in Egypt' is a young man who has only to do his own powers justice in order to make himself a name among modern poets. It is not often that a first volume contains so much, not only of promise, but of performance, as that before us." North British Review. " Mr. Garnett's style is pointed and sharp, expressing much in little, with vivid clearness. His own genius may make his own fame, for his lyrics have many lasting characteristics." Tait's Magazine. " A volume full of quaint, luxurious, coloured fancy." Athenttum. "Mr. Garnett has, by his latest poems, established a clear title to the name of poet What strikes us next to his perfect description is his perfect finish." Critic. " Mr. Garnett writes with classic elevation and propriety, and his volume will secure him respect, and with a superior class of readers." Leader. LONDON : BELL AND DALDY, 186, FLEET STREET.
