Review of Mr. Lowell's later poetry and Dr. Bickmore's travels
The piece contrasts Lowell's mature volumes with earlier work noting deeper pathos, sobriety, and moral purpose. It lauds the War poems and Commemoration Ode while critiquing loss of earlier vigor and praising the East Indian shell-collecting voyage by Mr. Bickmore, detailing voyage scenes, natural history notes, and shell trade at Amboina.

Magazines Review Good Words January
The January issue of Good Words offers no standout feature but highlights a strong contributor list. The larger print aims to aid readers, with Dean Stanley’s piece on the late Dean of St Paul’s provoking mixed views yet remaining timely. George Macdonald’s Stephen Archer adds light romance. Farrar’s Philology as one of the Sciences surveys scholars behind philology.
