The Tragedies of the Earl of Stirling are of great value in Shakespearian interest. In Darius are some lines similar to others in the celebrated "Cloud Cap't Tow'rs" of Shakespeare, and to these Mr. G. Chalmers evidently alludes in his Apology :-"The Monarchicke Tragedies of Lord Sterling, which must be allowed to have sentiments that sparkle, though no words that burn, were entitled to the honour of James' acceptance, and to the higher honor of Shakespeare's ADOPTION."

1204 SWINBURNE (Algernon Charles) ODE ON THE PROCLAMATION OF THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, SEPTEMBER 4TH, 1870. F. S. Ellis, 1870. FIRST EDITION, 8vo, fine copy in the original wrappers as issued, UNCUT, AS NEW, 78 6d This is one of the earliest and most outspoken of Mr. Swinburne's Revolutionary and Republican utterances, and although in later writings his views have been modified, it is supposed that the laureateship would have been filled by him at the present time, but for these earlier productions. The edition printed was a very limited one, and it has never been reprinted in separate form. "From 1867 to 1871, he [Swinburne] gave his ardent sympathy to the cause of European freedom, exerting himself in laudation, almost in apotheosis, of the republican heroes and martyrs. Possibly his radical tendency was strengthened in youth by association with a sturdy grandsire, the late Sir John Swinburne, who was a personal friend of Mirabeau.”—Stedman's Victorian Poets. 1205 SWINBURNE (Algernon Charles) Songs of the Springtides. 1880. FIRST EDITION, 8vo, cloth, UNCUT, 98

We believe the authorship has been acknowledged recently by the Poet in a letter to a well-known collector. Swinburne's parody of his own peculiarities of style (VII., Nephelidia) is exceedingly fine. 1207 SWINBURNE (Algernon Charles) Tristram of Lyonesse and other Poems. 1882.
