His earliest poems, as "Magdalen's Precious Ointment" (1839), "Jesus's Wrath" (1840), showed very plainly the influence of Lamartine; and to the end Lamartine was his model. Besides several volumes of lyric poems,- "Psyche" (1841); "Odes and Poems" (1844); "Evangelic Poems" (1852); "Heroic Idylls" (1858),- he wrote the tragedy "Harmodius" (1870), and several works in prose; e. g., "Questions of Art and Morals" (1861); "Liberal Education" (1873); "Essays in Idealist Criticism" (1882).
