    Legends And Second Lyrics: Volume A Jboo...

    Legends and Second Lyrics : Volume a JBook . B of ell Verses and Dald . By Fleet Adelaide Street Anne . Procter . y

    , Among- the books of the season , few will be so warmly welcomed , both in the family circle , and hy solitary readers , as this second

    volume of " Legends and Lyrics . " The first volume won for Miss Procter a place in the hearts of her readers , and the second will

    deepen the impression . Gifted with a profound insight into the subtler portions of our

    common humanity , an insight which at once takes the place of _exjDerience , and is , in itself , more full and comprehensive than

    personal experience can possibly be , there isscarcely any chord of all the varied sorrows and _siifPerings of life _^ which does not vibrate

    to her touch . Remarkably as this power was evidenced in the first volume of " Legends and Lyrics , " there are yet more striking

    instances of it here , and we hope , before long , to see a dramatic _23 oem from her hand , which shall throw more light on the question

    as to how far the true _jDoet is lifted above the ordinary level of humanity in his power of divining thoughts and feelings foreign to

    his own condition and existence , and of embodying those thoughts and feelings with such verisimilitude as to speak with all the

    force of heart-utterance to the hearts of those who have in reality felt and suffered what the poet only imagines and expresses .

    We give , as an instance of this _jDiu'e conceit of the poet : — _ENYY .

    He was the first always : fortune I foug Shone ht for brig years ht in ; his with face no . effort

    He conquered the place ; We ran ; my feet were all bleeding , But he won the race .

    Sp Men ite of loved his many him the successes same , Mpalof good fortune ;

    y Met one scoffing e ray and _BJam ' e .

    , When But me we — erred only , they shame gave . him pity _.
