Poetic Critique Highlights Payne Whitney Works and Lord Brougham
The review praises Mr Payne for ballads and vivid lines such as Westward Spiling and The Army of the Knitters 1861. It notes Mrs Whitney’s strong imagination but hints at over philosophical phrasing. It commends Hillside Rhymes and The Weird of Dawyck, while discussing Miss Marsh and other poets and praising Lord Brougham for education and public service.
