pedcstas, where they may be seen most distinctly,
and strike with the most enduring though often
the most gradual Impression. This IS the case

the antique.


Two works should be meutoned-one oil which
is only known 10 few among his admirers, and
the other not at all. Neither OF them was pub
iished, and though printed they we're very little
circulated. The first is entitled, Poems from
The Arabic ard Persian They pretended to be
translations bat were written by Landor ior the
pleasure of misleading certain orientalists, and
other learned men In this ho succeeded, and
for the first time in the known history Of such
hoaxes, not 10 the discredit of the crcduous. for
the poems are extremely beautiful, and breathe
the true oriental spirit throughout. They are
ornate in iancy,-graccful, and full OF unaffected
tenderness. They were printed IN loOO, with
many extremely erIdite notes; in writing which,
the author, no doubt, laughed very much 10 him
self at the critical labor and searching they would
excite. The other production is called y Satire
upon Satirlss. and Admonltion to DctractoTs
printed in 1886. 1t contains many Just ndgDa
tons, terrible denunciatlcns, and clcaving blows
against those who used not many years slncc to


make II rabid crusade upon all genius; but the
satire occasionally makes attacks upon some who
DO not deserve to bc so harshly treated by d
brother author; and VIC cannot but reloice that
this satire in It's present state has not been pub
lished.
