ABSTRACT

Mr. Browning has many faults which, were we disposed to be severe, might be mentioned with proper censure; but his beauties are exceedingly more numerous, and on these we are better pleased to enlarge. These short poems appear to us to happily combine many of the characteristics of real poetry, and more especially its simplicity. We give one extract, and very cordially recommend this, we suppose we must call it a Serial, to our readers.
