(1848)
“ They are flashed all over with the rich lights of fancy; and so colored and bestrewn with the flowers of poetry, that, even while perplexed and bewildered in their labyrinths, it is impossible to resist the intoxication of the sweetness, or to shut our hearts to the enchantment they so lavishly present.—Francis Jeffrey. ”
