To those who seek for graceful love songs of the first order we would recommend amongst others, "My Lady's Bower", "Unexpressed", and "Love and Death" (page 317). For the poems dealing with more exalted matters, we can but refer the reader to the volume itself, — merely remarking that a public which can, or professes to, understand the inner meaning of "John Inglesant" ought to experience no difficulty in Miss Dietz's utterances."

When we say that, in addition to her literary labours, Miss Dietz has composed the music, designed the scenery, and made some new and effective alterations in the costumes, besides nightly impersonating the character of the simple Marguerite, we shall have said enough to show how versatile are her talents, and to prove how great her labours must have been in all directions.
