d upon her in the Fable for critics. The criticisms on English poets in this collection seem to me singularly admirable; they take rank with those of Elizabeth Barrett Browning, in her Essays on the poets. There are many single phrases that are unsurpassed in insight and expression, as where she speaks of the strange, bleak filey. This is a rare series of condensed criticisms, on authors about whom so much has been written, and her remarks on the new men — Sterling, Henry Taylor, and Browning — were almost as good. She was one of the first in America to recognize the genius of Browning, and, while his Bells and pomegranates was yet in course of publiBrowning, and, while his Bells and pomegranates was yet in course of publication, she placed him at the head of contemporary English poets. There is much beside, in these rich volumes; a brief criticism on Hamlet, for instance, in one of the dialogues, which is worthy to take rank with those of Mrs. Jameson; and an essay on Sir James MacKINTOSHintosh, which, in calm completeness and thorough workmans

But it may be doubted whether Mrs. Browning was a thorough and scientific student of tf the workings of angelic natures?

sential merits, and she stands proudly, but unambitiously, the full, intellectual peer of man. Genius has no sex. The qualities of the masculine and feminine minds, while profoundly harmonious, even in their contrasts, and together forming the perfect man, are, doubtless, as a general thing, differently made up in their relative proportions and dispositions, according to the varied needs of their life-work. In the masculine mind, perhaps, the constructive and philosophic elements are more prominently controlling, and in the feminine mind the intuitive and sympathetic; yet there is — the same mind in both, the same fiery particle, the same imperial and divine faculty, whether It is shown in the ruling ability of a Henry IV. of France, or an Elizabeth of England; in the philanthropic capacity of a John Howard, or a Florence Nightingale; in the literary scope and depth of an Alfred Tennyson, or a Mrs. Browning; in the creative artistic power of an Edwin Landseer, or a Rosa Bonheur

The critics decided to accept the new poet; but a nature so intense, a personality so strong as hers, is rarely understood or estimated at its worth. On the one hand she was assaulted with flattery, and on the other with abusedie to make men free, While God is marching on. In this third volume there is much less of the obscure, the fantastic, the forced. A lyrical series called Her verses, says a fine critic, are so charged with wild passion, that they recall Mrs. Browning's Sonnets from the Portuguese, with more of the Sappho, and less of the saint. Mrs. Howe has not yet mastered her splendid powers. When she has fully possessed herself America will be yet prouder of her one great woman-poet; for Harriet Pre
