POETRY. One of the earliest of the books 

 of mark came from the pen of a veteran in 

 American Literature, the " Translation of Ho- 

 mer's Iliad," by William Cullen Bryant. Mr. 

 Bryant's command over the English language, 

 and his mastery of the harmonies of English 

 verse, are exhibited at their best aspect in this 

 the crowning work of his life, while he has come 

 nearer than any of his predecessors to furnish- 

 ing a clear view, as through a transparent me- 

 dium, of the story of Troy as Homer tells it. 

 It is a fine example of the compass and flexi- 

 bility of our English blank verse. Criticism 

 of it has consisted mainly in the justification 

 by instances in detail of the praise awarded in 

 general. The only points of exception are 

 sucli as might naturally have been anticipated : 

 that the rapidity and energy of the original 

 are not adequately represented ; and that the 

 style, admirably clear as it is, and graceful and 

 picturesque, has not the special grace which 

 comes of rich classic culture. But the version 

 now bids fair to be the recognized best English 

 Homer for readers barred from, access to the 

 Greek. The success which our venerable poet 

 has gained in this translation will make espe- 

 cially welcome the announcement that he is 

 engaged upon the "Odyssey," a poem even 

 better adapted to the scope and the special 

 tendencies of his art than the " Iliad."
