Excerpt from The Edinburgh Literary Journal, or Weekly Register of Criticism and Belles Lettres: November, 1828-May, 1829 Is it not to be regretted that in the present silence of the mightiest Lyres, he who can write thus, should so sel. Dam awaken the music of his own i-several things in the Editor's happiest manner, especially The Magic Bridle, The Mother Praying, and The Black berry Boy, Three Inscriptions for the Caledonian Canal, by Southey, - a Dramatic Scene, by Barry Cornwall, - and The Cafle of Invertime, by Hogg, make up all the rest of the poetry that it is necessary to mention. W e are sorry to be obliged to add, that there is a greater mixture of alloy in the Anniversary, than we could have wished, but we are wellaware of the difficulties attendant upon a first effort; and doubt not that where there is so much promise, the im rovement in subsequent years will begreat. The em ishments, of which there are twenty, are very splendid; and it gives us much pleasure to be able to state that though the work has hardly yet been seen in Scotland, six or seven thousand copies have already been sold.
