SWINBURNE'S LAUS VENERIS, AND OTHER POEMS and Ballads.—“There is a music of strength in these poems, outspoken honesty, a sturdy love of freedom, carnestness, poetic insight, truth and beauty of expression, beyond anything attained to by other of the young poets of the day. * * In some of the poems are the passions of youth fearlessly expressed, and stirring depths that have been stirred hitherto by no poet in his youth. He is a young poet with sterling qualities, and the outcry that has been made over his volume is not very creditable to his critics. * * * It is the ferment of good wine, and we must think they are no skilled judges of the wine of thought who shake their heads over it."
