The Dublin Telegraph.
“Professor Nichol has just given us a volume which bids fair to open a new era in poetry, and secures to the author a position among the first poets of the day.”
The Morning Post.
“Glasgow has good reason to be proud of her Professor of English Literature, in which he now takes a prominent place by right of his admirable classic drama. Criticism will award him a regal seat on Parnassus, and laurel leaves without stint.”
