...three miles nearer the centre of civilzation than we, but might we be permitted to ask whether Apollonem is a better form for the accusative of Apollo than the usual Apollinem? The poet, among nearly three columns of whose effusions we find this new Latin word, also publishes a poem the first line of which...
...very interesting to observe how Liszt has treated the famous "Lorelei." He analyzes the poem line by line, and uses the music to color the sentiment of the words in a manner peculiarly his own; the instrumentation is of course perfect. We consider it a mistake, however, to subject Heine's great poem to dramatic or consecutive treatment.

Smith did more; he wrote a long article on the "Art of Living," and sent it to the editor of the Hampton Gazette, but his genius was not recognized...
