EUREKA. A prose Poem. By Edgar A. Poe. New York. — George P. Putnam.

We have not read this book, but intend to con it over without loss of time. We expect to find in it some brilliant thoughts and some truths, with much eccentricity. The author calls it “an art-product — a romance — or perchance a poem.” We should not be surprised to find it verify the description.
