We are disposed to rate Mr. HERAUD very high as

a pcet, so far as regards sound. Many of our brethren, if we may believe what they say, extend this appreciation to all the essential quali- ties of a bard, and consider that the age is enriched by a MILTON neither mute nor inglorious. It would seem that a part of the public partake of this opinion; for we have upon our table a se- . cond and revised edition of the Descent into Hell, with the addition of a Fragment called Uriel, and three Odes. A neater or prettier pocket volume than this of Mr. HERAUD'S we cannot imagine.
