If one is not too critical there is a good deal of
pleasure to be got out of Halleck’s volume.—_National
Magazine_ (_1852_).
Dana, Halleck and Bryant rose together on steady wings
and gave voices to the solitude; Dana with a broad,
grave undertone like that of the sea; Bryant with a
sound as of the wind in summer woods, and the fall of
waters in mountain dells; and Halleck with strains
blown from a silver trumpet, breathing manly fire and
courage.—_Bayard Taylor._
