ment our readers will be surprised to learn that the " Alceo " is a 

 play in five acts and in verse ; that it is a love story of the most 

 romantic kind in the style of Tasso's 'Aminta/ the pastoral 

 characters being replaced by fishers ; and that the allusions to the 

 occupations of the interlocutors are of the slightest and most cur- 

 sory nature. In other words that Mr. Blakey having been made a 

 " victim " by some facetious friend, has in turn deluded a genera- 

 ation of simple anglers and bibliographers.]
