Excerpt from A Forgotten Genius: Charles Whitehead; A Critical Monograph "Mr. Mackenzie Bell, in an original and happy preface to the present reprint of his former two volumes, indicates playfully the place which he aims to fill in poetry. He does not aspire to be an individual voice, or even an echo of an individual voice, but he shows that he can write good nervous prose, and can at once be finely ironical and humorous, and include himself in the subject of his laughter; and he may claim at all events to be healthily objective and happily inspiring in a plain, unpretending way. He admits he is old-fashioned; and so he is. He does not aspire to rythmic novelties, or perverse metrical tricks after exotic examples; beyond the sonnet, indeed he does not go. But his forms suffice him; as we read, we say happy also he who in poetry does not aim beyond his reach. Some of Mr. Mackenzie Bell's 'Pictures of Travel' in Spain and Italy are simply admirable in their picturesqueness and power of presenting the typical aspect, and interweaving it with apt lyrical associations. There is decided humour in 'Waiting for the Dentist,' and a real lyrical glow in such pieces as 'Heart Chords' and the 'Heart's Summer.' On the whole, the volume attests a buoyant, healthy nature, open to fine impressions, and quick to turn the ordinary incidents of every day to poetic account." - British Quarterly Review, July, 1884.
