The Poetical Works of John. Keats. With an Introductory Sketch

by John Hogben. (Walter Scott.)—This is one of the series of "Canterbury Poets." It is, like its fellows, a pleasant and con- venient little volume; and Mr. Hogben's introductory sketch is fairly satisfactory. We do not like the volume the leas because it contains Keats as we have been used to read him from our youth, and as he probably wished himself to be read, not as most editors have brought him before, the real gold mixed with a quantity of doubtful metal.
