Don Juan in Search of a Wife : with Other Poems.

[A fair imitation of the style and manner of BYRON, as well in his point as his looseness of thinking,—with this difference, that Don Juan has a story, and a varied and interesting one, the digressions being occasional, whereas the brochure before us is all digression. It consists of two Parts ; the first written in 1825, by an Oxonian, and containing such a one's notions on women and marriage: the Second Part produced in 1834, and dealing in the main with politics. The thing, as an imitation, is not devoid of point and spirit, and would have promised well had it been all the production of a student. Looking at the necessary age of the party, we most say that we cannot excuse the publi- cation in 1839 of the writing which was pardonable in 1825.]
