Abstract
THIS small volume consists of a selection from the poems of the late Mr. George John Romanes. It contains two long poems entitled “A Memorial Poem to Charles Darwin,” and “A Tale of the Sea.” Both are fine and of a striking quality. Sonnets form the rest of the book, and in many of these the naturalist, as well as the poet, is revealed to us by the accurate descriptions of nature, and the many references to objects and phenomena connected with science. We may add that Mr. T. Herbert Warren, President of Magdalen College, Oxford, has written the introduction, in which he gives a short biographical sketch of the. author.
