Criticism

EUREKA! Here, then, we have it at last,-an American poem, with the lack of which British reviewers have so long reproached us. Selecting the subject of all others best calculated for his purpose,-the expulsion of the French settlers of Acadie from their quiet and pleasant homes around the Basin of Minas, one of the most sadly romantic passages in the history of the Colonies of the North,-the author has succeeded in presenting a series of exquisite pictures of the striking and peculiar features of life and nature in the New World.
