His poetry is not overloaded with metaphors and is, on the whole, simply and naturally expressed in varying melody and measure. His language throughout the book is chaste, and the versification far beyond the average of rhymesters."-Nottingham Journal. "There is very much to praise in it, and very little to take exception to. It contains some eloquent compositions: nearly everything in it is marked by good feeling; sound sense there is in plenty, and, not unfrequently, pleasant conceits and happy turns of phrase."-Nottingham Review. "Jephthah is treated with great ability, graphic power, and religious feeling. The Rural Etchings and Sketchings evince a cultivated taste for the picturesque and an admirable fancy. Among the "Lyra Sacra are several rare gems of genius. We commend these effusions with approving confidence to our readers, as compositions which manifest decided talent, a high tone of thoughtful morality, and religious principle."-Nottinghamshire Guardian.
