_GLASGOW HERALD._—‘Mr. Robert Bridges, as a poet, has one supreme merit. He is always clear, pure, and understandable; so that it is ever a pleasure to read his verse, which is charged with knowledge of nature, her aspects, moods, and melodies ... Indeed, in reading the poems of Mr. Bridges one cannot but think that he is a reincarnation of some one of the noble ancient poets.’
