"There is a masculine strength and vigour in her Verses—not a little remarkable in an age when men are proud to write effeminately—so delicately do they go, and so softly do they tread, like the Hebrew Ladies of old, when they affect the Poetic character.—The Poems before us are Lyrical, Descriptive, and Didactic, with some few Sonnets, alike distinguished by an earnestness of purpose and energy of style."—Athenæum, July 27.
