Have you read a poem called 'the Roman' which was praised highly in the 'Athenaeum, but did not seem to Robert to justify the praise in the passages extracted? written by somebody with certainly a nom de guerre Sidney Yendys. Observe, Yendys is Sidney reversed. Have you heard anything about it, or seen?
Thus acting, he may "fill his crescent-sphere;" revive the power and glory of song; give voice to a great dumb struggle in the mind of the age; rescue the lyre from the camp of the Philistines, where it has been but too long detained; and render possible the hope, that the day shall come when again, as formerly, the names "of poet and of prophet are the same." By Sydney Yendys.
S. Yendys exhibits those qualities in this very remarkable first effort, "The Roman." "It is a mechanical age," say some. To use Shakspeare's words, "he is a mechanical salt-butter rogue who says so." Men use more machines than formerly, but are not one whit more machines themselves. Was James Watt an automaton? Has the press become less an object of wonder or terror since it was worked by steam?
Bailey of "Festus," and Yendys of the poem before us, are the most likely candidates for the vacant laurel.
