It is a very brief descant on the dis- couragements which genius meets with in America; on the frailty and inelegance of our architecture, in that mode of building which exposes our towns, and particularly Boston, to the ravages of fire; on the broils and animosities of party, and on the absurdities of fashion and dress, manners, amusements, music and poetry. On each of these topics, the poet expatiates briefly, but with considerable spirit and elegance. He is most copious, and writes with most energy, on the folly of wooden buildings. The lines on this subject, will afford a v... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-12190.xml Thu, 01 Dec 1803 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-10044.xml From several of the prosaical works of D'Israeli, we have re- ceived pleasure and instruction. He is a writer who discovers an uncommon store of anecdote, who riots in the luxuries of literature, and leaves the more profound re- searches to minds more patient and inquiring. It is probably well known, that to him we are indebted for Curiosities of Literature, Vari- eties of Literature, Literary Amuse- ments, a volume of Miscellanies, a Sketch of the Times, an Essay on the Literary Character, and the luxuriant and pathetic Tale of Mej- noun. The poems under consider- ation, will not detract from the fa- vourable opinion which we have formed of the talents of D'Israeli. The Narrative Poems are entitled, “The Carder and the Carrier”… “A Tale addressed to a Sybarite.” All of these poems are exemplifica- tions of the passion of love… their plans are extremely simple, and such as do not afford great interest in narration… they are however told very poetically. The first narrative describes an affection which subsist... http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-10044.xml Sat, 01 Oct 1803 12:00:00 GMT http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-11104.xml The interest with which we read this poem, was increased by the recent and melancholy termination of the author's life...Mr. Paine was considered and respected by those who knew him, as a scholar and a poet. Several circumstances tended to embitter his life; and over his death, those who have most injured him, will have most cause to lament. It is, however, not our province or desire to dwell on his history, nor are we possessed of sufficient infor- mation concerning him, to become his just and satisfactory biogra- phers. http://brockdenbrown.cah.ucf.edu/xtf3/view?docId=1803-11104.xml Tue, 01 Nov 1803 12:00:00 GMT
