Binney for the Christian Examiner but never appeared in that Paper because not rec[eive]d. - William Enington'. The review, with occasional minor deletions and emendations, is headed 'Judas Iscariot, a Miracle Play, with other Poems. By R. H. Horne. Post. 8vo. pp.64.' It begins: 'Some of our readers will be startled by the title of this book; it will require some time for them to recover their surprize, & still more for them to become quite clear that the author is justified in his adventurous task.' It concludes: 'With many doubts as to the propriety of throwing so sacred a subject into a dramatic form, we cannot but acknowledge, that to those who can thoughtfully peruse the book, as an attempt seriously to illustrate truth & character, it is adapted to afford very great pleasure, as it displays in the writer unquestionable genius & diversified ability.'
