The Infant Bridal, and Other Poems. By Aubrey De Vera.

(Macmillan and Co.)—Almost all these poems have been published before, and any prolonged notice of them is therefore unnecessary. Mr. De Vera has taken his place among the poets of the day. Pure and tender feeling, and that polished restraint of style which is called classical, are the charms of this volume. Power of thought is what it wants, though the author has fancy enough to embody sentiment in a really poetical form.
