Chatterton Preface Praised Yet Book Draws Mixed Fates
The critic notes Edwardian style echoes in Chatterton’s verse but calls the poems modern in structure and largely unread. Russell’s zeal for the poet partly stems from his radical sympathies, yet the work remains imperfect with room for a deeper treatment of Chatterton’s life and language. The volume is well bound, printed, and illustrated.

Italian Drama by Mr Swinburne
A review dismisses The Duke of Gandia as a weak pinnacle of Swinburne’s drama despite brief merit. The piece portrays the Borgias in 1497 Rome with bold, provocative lines and fierce invective, yet its moral impact and lasting charm are judged lacking and its subject considered hideous and condemnable.
