A book of poems by Aubrey De Vere, LL.D. Once more our readers are indebted to a living poet for wide circulation of a volume of delightful verse. The name of Aubrey de Vere is the more pleasantly familiar because its association with our highest literature has descended from father to son. In 1822, sixty-seven years ago, Sir Aubrey de Vere, of Curragh Chase, by Adare, in the county of Limerick - then thirty-four years old - first made his mark with a dramatic poem upon Julian the Apostate. In 1842 Sir Aubrey published Sonnets, which his friend Wordsworth described as the most perfect of our age; and in the year of his death he completed a dramatic poem upon Mary Tudor, published in the next year, 1847, with the Lamentation of Ireland, and other Poems. Sir Aubrey de Vere's Mary Tudor should be read by all who have read Tennyson's play on the same subject.
