Excerpt from A Group of English Essayists of the Early Nineteenth Century Scottish dialect, -which he calls disgusting, - the genius of a new kind of poet. But, as a rule, it is difficult to discern any relation between the approval of the critic and the quality of the work. And there is seldom anything to break the deadly dulness of the writing save the rather spirited comments which each editor now and then bestows upon the other. For they were always at loggerheads.
