THE POETS SANGSTER AND McLACHLAN.
[Footnote 28: Page 17.--Charles Sangster was a native of Kingston, and
consequently a native Canadian like the others mentioned in the text.
His principal poems appeared in the following books: "The St. Lawrence
and the Saguenay, and Other Poems." Kingston and New York, 1856, 8vo.
"Hesperus and Other Poems and Lyrics." Montreal, 1860, 8vo. Oliver
Wendell Holmes, Bayard Taylor and Jean Inglelow wrote of his verse in
terms of eulogy. See "Bibliotheca Canadensis," p. 337.
Alexander McLachlan was a poet contemporary with Sangster, and imbued
with much poetic fervour and Canadian sentiment, but he was born
and educated in Scotland, and came to Canada when a young man. His
"Emigrant and Other Poems" (Toronto, 1861) merited the praise it
received, though this, like his other poetic efforts, are now rarely
cited, and no new edition of his works has appeared of recent years.]
