This article literary appraises the book "The Cult of Beauty in Charles Baudelaire.," by S.A. Rhodes. Rhodes stress poet Charles Baudelaire's insistence on the idea one of the poets pointed--To judge of poets is the faculty only of poets, and not of all poets, but the best; but his efforts to establish a bond between his own perceptions and those of the poet are too labored. This work is offered, not as a translation, but as an original American study of the French poet; and there is indeed no question that those whom the poet himself has inspired will here be, if nothing else, informed.
