The sixth volume of "The Carisbrooke Library," edited by Professor

Morley (Routledge and Sons), bears the title of Parodies and other Burlesque Pieces. These parodies, &c., are the work of Canning, Ellis, and Frere, and with them is included "The Poetry of the Anti-Jacobin." Of this poetry, the three mentioned were the chief authors ; but Gifford, Lord Morpeth, and others also contributed to it. The best pieces in this volume are well known; but there is much that is amusing to be found in others that are more or less forgotten. Not unfrequently are we led to think that history repeats itself. It would not be difficult, for instance, to find parallels in the present day for "The Great Statesman" and "Loyal Ballynahinch."
