_By_ LORD BYRON. The SecondEdition. London: Murray, Fleet Street. 1812. 8vo. Pp. 300. Price 12s.
If the object of poetry is to instruct by pleasing, then every poeticaleffort has a double claim upon the attention of the Christian observer. For we are anxious that the world should be instructed at all rates, andthat they should be pleased where they innocently may. We are, therefore, by no means among those spectators who view the occasionalascent of a poetic luminary upon the horizon of literat...ure, as ameteoric flash which has no relation to ourselves; but we feel instantlyan eager desire to find its altitude, to take its bearings, to trace itscourse, and to calculate its influence upon surrounding bodies. Whenespecially it is no more an "oaten reed" that is blown; or a "simpleshepherd" who blows it; but when the song involves many high and solemnfeelings, and a man of rank and notoriety strikes his golden harp, wefeel, at once, that the increased influence of the song demands the morerigid scrutiny of the critic.
