An Imaged World. By Edward Garnett. (Dent and Co.)— "

Poems in Prose "—it is thus that Mr. Garnett describes his work—may be easy writing, but they are hard reading. Criticism, history, descriptions of nature, may be written in a poetical style, and if the author has something to say we put up with it, even admire it. But we cannot see that Mr. Garnett has much to say. His word-pictures are very full of colour, but they seem confused and blurred.
