E510700A.  Prometheus Bound, and Other Poems; Including Sonnets from the Portuguese, Casa Guidi Windows, etc. (New York, 1851).

The Christian Examiner, July 1851, p. 146.

As reprinted in The Brownings’ Correspondence, 17, 323.

This volume is uniform with the two which we recently noticed from the same publishers, as containing the other poetical writings of Mrs. Browning. Some beautiful gems, rich in sentiment felicitously expressed, are found in these pages. The author has her admirers, and while general criticism pronounces her various pieces, and even parts of the same, as of very unequal merit, she holds an honored place among our living versifiers.

[George Edward Ellis]
