Poems. By Elizabeth Akers. (Florence Percy.) (Boston, Ticknor and Fields

; London, Triibner.)—Snffiaient judgment has not been shown in weeding these poems, as a good many are insignificant, and the repetitions of others are tedious. But some lyrics have the true ring of poetry, and the feeling shown in others is equally true to the heart. We would particularly instance the poems called "Violet-Planting," "Babyhood," "Left Behind," and "The Dream," all of which are taken from the first forty-two pages of the volume. Of these the second and third are not perfect throughout, but the other two are exquisite from first to last.
