Illustrations of Scripture, the Hebrew Converts, and Other Poems, is

a very respectable and a not unpleasing collection of devotional and serious verse. The writer has evidently studied in a good school, and does not mistake fury for fire, violence for intenseness, nor haste for inspiration. With her judgment, care, labour, and sweetness, "S. S." only wanted a little more of the poetical spirit to take a high rank amongst sacred poets.
