Third

Edition. "That it is characterized by vigorous thinking, delicate fancy, and happy terms of expression, is admitted on all hands." - Times.

"A poem of remarkable power. It contains much fine thought, and shows throughout the deepest penetration into present-day tendencies in belief or no-belief."--British Quarterly Review.

"It is to 'Hilda,' however, that we must turn for the most tragic conception of actual life that has hitherto been fashioned into verse. No modern poet, it may safely be said, has plunged so deeply into the innermost heart of living men and women, and none has used such remarkable materials for his drama. Here we have the highest tragedy, and yet no guilt of the vulgar sort, no blood-stained fatality, no tyrannous lust, no archaic Nemesis, -only the terrible conflict of faith and want of faith." --Scottish Review, Nov., 1882.
