"A remarkable book of genuine poetry which will be welcome to all lovers of the Muse."-Evening Standard. "Walled in' is a lyrical monologue, in which an imprisoned nun, distracted with suffering and passion, tells the story of her love and the terrible punishment it brought upon herself and her lover. There is genuine power displayed in this poem, and also in another of a similar cast, entitled 'Not an Apology.'"-Examiner. 66 ... Describes with great felicity strong human emotions, as well as the varied aspects of nature. In a very different style, but one familiar to us of late years, the writer relates in blank verse a simple story called 'The Hat-band.' Poetical feeling is manifest here, and the diction of the poem is unimpeachable."-Pall Mall Gazette.

A little gem called 'A Deodand."-Graphic. "Intensity of feeling, a rugged pathos, robustness of tone, and a downrightness of expression which does not shrink from even slang if it seem best fitted for his purpose. They do not, however, exclude tenderness on occasion, as 'The Hat-band will testify; or free, flowing, graceful verse."-Illustrated London News. "Simple, unaffected, melodious. Some of these poems contain striking thoughts which deserve to be remembered: and others illustrate the true poetic faculty which enables a man to give shape in words to the subtlest fancies of the mind."-Leeds Mercury.

"Mr. De Vere's versification in his earlier poems is characterised by great sweetness and simplicity. He is master of his instrument, and rarely offends the ear with false notes. Poems such as these scarcely admit of quotation, for their charm is not, and ought not to be, found in isolated passages; but we can promise the patient and thoughtful reader much pleasure in the perusal of this volume." - Pall-Mall Gazette. "We have marked, in almost every page, excellent touches from which we know not how to select. We have but space to commend the varied structure of his verse, the carefulness of his grammar, and his excellent English.
