ALFRED THE GREAT. A Poem. By G. L. Newnham Collingwood, Esq., Editor of the 'Life and Correspondence of Admiral Lord Collingwood.'
"At any other time than the present, when the tide of literary taste is running against poetry of the severely heroic character, the appearance of such a work as 'Alfred the Great' would have excited a general interest, and ensured the author a high place among the writers of his country. * * * We may add that the interest of the poem never flags, and has the additional merit of keeping pace with the progress of the story from its commencement to its conclusion."—New Monthly Mag., August 1.
