Excerpt from Henry Fothergill Chorley, Vol. 2 of 2: Autobiography, Memoir, and LettersThe part of the late Mr. T. K. Hervey, who then filled the post of editor. Chorley was under the impression that, during this gentle man's reign, an undue proportion of inferior literature was allotted to his province as a reviewer, but how far the impression was warranted by the fact, I have no means of judging. The list which he has preserved of the books then submitted to his criticism doubtless includes a large preponderance of chaff over wheat, but would not every such record present the like discrepancy? It con tains, nevertheless, some works unquestion ably Of the highest rank, and others which, if their place be more doubtful, have as yet, at all events, stood the test of time. In the former category may be named Mr. Tenny son's miscellaneous poems, the dramas and lyrics of Mr. And Mrs. Browning, Hawthorne's.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
