The Poetical Works of the late Mrs Mary Robinson: including many Pieces never before published Crown 8vo. 3 Vols. pp. 1112.
This is a complete and elegantly printed collection of Mrs Robinson's works. It contains many pieces highly creditable to the abilities of their author. Mrs Robinson had a brilliant imagination, and a considerable command of language, but she was deficient in taste. A great number of her compositions are rendered disgusting by affectation and meritricious [sic] ornament. It is, however, but justice to say that her later poems are written in a much purer style than those which she published during the period of the Della Crusca madness. [complete]
