Godiva.

This admirable poem is attributed to the Rev. J. Moultrie; and is extracted from the Etonian. It was an especial favourite with the late Mr. Gifford, who was wont to express the highest admiration of the talents of its author. Certain it is, that Mr. Moultrie has written some of the most delightful poems in the whole range of modern literature. It is to be lamented, that he does not give us the many fugitive poems of which he is the author, in a collected form. They could not but be popular, for most of them are of transcendent beauty.

Song.

The author of this sweet song, is the son of Mr. Haile, the bookseller, of Piccadilly. He has also published a very pleasing volume of poems, under the sobriquet of Percy Rolle.

The Vicar's Daughter.

I am indebted for this striking Ballad to an amusing volume, edited by Mr. Galt, entitled "The Bachelor's Wife."

The Launch of the Nautilus.

I cannot neglect the opportunity which the introduction of this poem into the Poetical Album affords me, of paying my tribute of esteem and admiration to the memory of its amiable and highly-gifted author, whose premature death, none who have enjoyed the pleasure of his correspondence, can lament more sincerely than myself. With the highest scholastic attainments, he possessed a refinement of taste and feeling, which would have enabled him to acquire and sustain a high

rank in modern literature, had he been spared to his friends and the world a few years longer. Mr. Archdeacon Wrangham (Mr. Barnard's father-in-law) has just printed a small volume of his Remains, including his beautiful Versions of some of the most pleasing of the poems of Flaminio, and a selection from his own sweet" Vers de Societé."
