In many instances they surpass for perfection of rendering and beauty of English, the translations of Leigh Hunt and a host of other poets, not to speak of the clumsy productions of a pedantic Munroe.

Quite different from this is "Acheron," a pretty simile in graceful, poetic language. The writer of "Ce Qu 'On Dit Et La Verite" shows considerable imagination and writes in a lively, entertaining style, which would be none...
