Tales of Superstition and Chivalry Small 8vo. pp. 144.
These tales contain many passages of no common merit. The language is frequently in a high degree poetical, and the incidents well imagined. One fault, however, runs nearly through the whole of the volume. It is obscurity. The author solicitous, as it would appear, to produce a striking effect, has oftten left so much to be imagined by the reader that he is turned aside from the general beauty of the poem to dis-[432]cover the connexion or meaning of particular parts.
