C. M. St. John.
[530] Anonymous. A well-written article of about twenty-four pages, reviewing Yarrow Revisited. It was one of the earliest reviews in an American journal that claimed for Wordsworth a high order of genius. It was probably written by Robert Walsh, the editor of the Review.
C. M. St. John.
[531] An article on Wordsworth’s sonnets on Capital Punishment, in an article on “The English Sonnet.” Judge Henry Reed found this to have been written by his father, Professor Henry Reed.
C. M. St. John.
[532] An appreciative criticism of eight pages.
C. M. St. John.
[533] Entitled “Wordsworth and his Poetry.” A review of the 1824 edition and of Yarrow Revisited, Boston, 1835. An estimate of Wordsworth’s claims as a poet, and as a man. A more comprehensive, stronger, more inviting criticism (in appealing to those to whom the poetry is unknown) has not been written. It ranks, in my opinion, among the best criticisms on Wordsworth written in America.

[534] H. Tuckerman wrote an article on Wordsworth for his magazine. This may be the article.
