THE HAYMAKERS' HIS- 

 TORIES. Twelve Cantos, in Terza 

 Rima. By BUTHEB. 



" This is a scholarly little book, sweet as a 

 meadow at hay-time, and tuU of summer in- 

 fluences. We confess this little volume ex- 

 cites onr curiosity ; and as to the writer, the 

 skill with * hich the metre is carried through, 

 the almost immaculate correctness of the 

 rhymes, and the equality of strength which 

 pervades the whole, would indicate a poet of 

 some standing, although the style resemble* 

 none that we remember."— Athenceum.
