Excerpt from The Two Brothers: And Other Poems

Edward Henry Bickersteth exhibits the broad sympathies and deeply religious spirit Of his excel lent father, with richer gifts Of genius. He was educated at the University Of Cambridge, where he was distinguished for scholarship and taste, and repeatedly bore Off the first prize for poetic merit. He now holds the living Of Hampstead, London, and the Chaplaincy to the Bishop Of Ripon. He is just in the full vigor Of manhood, Of polished yet Simple manners, frank and genial in spirit, with a face that seems to glow with active thought while suffused with the serenity Of goodness. Its expres sion is well presented in the engraving which is contained in this volume. In his late transient visit to the United States, he charmed all, we believe, who had the pleasure Of meeting him in private intercourse.
